"You're just not usually the type he goes for." "What do you mean?" "I... well, you know, like, closer to 40." " So is that why you guys - ended things?" "Because of the sex?" " No." " No, no, no."

"I'm just trying to save other faces that look like mine." " You started planting food - gardens right outside your home" " In Los Angeles - on city-owned land" "Because you said more dialysis centers" " were going up - than grocery stores." " Well, actually, - you own the land," " But the city has jurisdiction - over it," " So I figured - if I own the land," "I should be able to do what I want with it." " Yeah, I got into - a lot of trouble," " You know, warrant issued - for my arrest" " 'Cause they didn't say anything - about the rancid mattresses" "Or the toilets, but you plant a carrot, and all hell breaks loose." "So basically," "I got the law changed, so now you can grow food on the parkways in Los Angeles, California." "You're known for aphorisms like, "If kids grow kale," " they eat kale," - and "Drive-throughs are killing" "More people than drive-bys."" "Who are you marketing to, and are they listening?" "Uh, I'm marketing to, um," " the urban communities - across America" "And, which I found out, basically across the world." "I mean, these communities are being terrorized, occupied, and basically, it's genocide" " 'cause you can't get any healthy - food in these neighborhoods." "You can get alcohol," " and you can get... you know, - there's a dialysis center" "Or there's a doctor waiting to amputate you, but you can't get any healthy food, and it's by design, and we need to redesign our neighborhoods ourselves." " We need to empower - ourselves." "We live there," " and that we stop waiting - for the guy on the white horse" "To come and save us." " We are the guys - on the white horse." "My guest is Ron Finley," " and we're talking - about gangster gardening." " We'll be right back." " And we're clear." " Thank you - for doing our show." " Thank you for having me - on the show," " And I must say you're more - radiant in person" "Than you are on TV." "Oh, thank you." "Mr. Finley, great show." " Thank you." " Very important." " I appreciate you guys - getting the word out." " Thank you." " Of course." "It was a great show." " What?" " Say it." "What?" "You need to dig deeper." "Wh... where's the journalism?" "Okay, there is more to good journalism than interrogating people, Kara." " Having Ron on the show - shed light on an issue" "That never gets attention." "That is also good journalism." "But the story feels innocuous." "How?" " Because it's not journalism," " Mary Jane." "It's advocacy." "Oh, okay," " so I'm an advocate - because the guest is black?" "Oh." " Funny you never - mentioned this" " With any other guests - we've had on before." " Oh, please, - don't try that." "You know that you should have pushed harder." " You could have asked him is - it delusional for him to think" "That gardening is gonna prevent poverty and gang violence," " or you could have said, - "Hey," " "What do you have to say - about these critics" "That claim you're doing this for the limelight?"" "Or... or is organizing these dig-ins, where they plant crops in abandoned lots," " could it be - sending a message" " That he's encouraging people - across the state to..." "To break the law?" "You could have asked him any of those questions, and you didn't." "No, I didn't." " (Barbara)" " Cut straight to the chase, Paul." " David pulling out of the deal - was just a minor setback." " If David's out, - then I'm out." " It's not worth - the risk." " This is a small bump - in the road for us," "But David was just one of many angel investors that I could turn to." "It's a firm no on this one, Paul, but I may have something that might pique your interest." "There's a development opportunity out in California." " You may have heard - chatter of L.A." " Getting another - football team?" "Yes, I read there could be a stadium built in downtown L.A." "next to the Staples Center." "It's gonna be in Englewood." " The owner of - the St. Louis Rams" "Just purchased 60 acres of property," " and my source - at the NFL tells me" "It's all for a new stadium." "Unofficial, of course." "Okay, so how does this concern me?" "I want you to be my project manager out in California." "You'll put together a team of like-minded agents and developers from the community and oversee purchases of foreclosed properties." " Now, when you say - put together a team" "Of like-minded agents from the community," "I suppose you mean black people." " With your face - in the forefront," "We'll sell it as a story of rebuilding the community, and who better than the son of the first black COO of Vantage Airlines to lead the charge?" "You have done your research on my family." "We wouldn't be talking otherwise, but this isn't just about your family name." "You're a risk taker just like I am." "Most people don't have the balls to go after what they want, but I can tell that you do." "So what's the plan?" "We'll build exclusive residences around the stadium." " The real estate prices - will explode" " Once the stadium - goes into production." " And what kind of upside - are we talking about here?" "$25 million minimum, and that's just your cut." "Once you put together your team of buyers, you'll acquire properties from public auction at the lowest price point so that we can maximize our profits." "And I can only do that by making sure my team has the ability to drive the price of the property down." "We're talking bid rigging." "Two companies in San Francisco just went down for this." " I can't do much with 25 mil - if I'm locked up for ten years." " I'm not asking you - to break the law." "I'm just asking you to get it done." " I think my offer's - a great incentive." " And what if things - don't work out," "If the location changes or L.A. doesn't get another football team?" "Then I own a lot of property in Englewood, and you get to live rent-free in my Marina del Ray development with $2 million over three years." " Think about it - and get back to me." "I've got to move quickly on this opportunity." "Okay." " Hey," " I'm going home." "Oh, okay, cool." "Um," " I'll send over some story - areas in a couple hours." "Okay." "Fine." " Why don't you come in - and talk to me so our business" "Isn't out in the street?" "MJ," "I feel like you've pushed me out of something that was ours." "No, I took the lead in our direction," " but, Kara, I heard you today, - and I..." "No, I mean, like, when we met in New York, we just clicked, you know?" "We had the same dreams." "It was like... it was just like this perfect puzzle that fit, and yeah, we fought, but we made magic." "We still make magic." " I mean, yes, - we fight." "That's our process, but it makes us both better." "Yeah, but lately this fighting thing is just..." " it's like Chinese - water torture," "And I..." " I just can't do it - anymore." "Look, I..." "I want to stay with this direction." " We are holding our quarter-hour - rating numbers, so..." "It's not even about the new stories." "It's..." "I just really feel like I have to go after what I want just like you're going after what you want," " and our friendship - is too important to me" "To let it completely fall apart." "I just feel like we're going in two different directions." "Are you quitting?" "Honestly," " I don't even know - if SNC is the right place" "For me anymore." " Do you have another job offer - somewhere else?" "No, no, no, no." "But I can't just wish to be on network." "Wow." " I'm not leaving - right now." "I mean," "I have nowhere to go." "I'm just..." "I'm not interested in this dynamic between us anymore." "I can try and be nicer." "Kara, come on." " Well, you know, - honey," "I actually think that you gave me the push I needed." "You know, after losing John and my kids," "I..." " I didn't want to - leave here too," "But I..." "I think it's time to go, you know?" "I..." "I just really do." "I can't believe you're breaking up with me." "I just hope we can still be friends." "This might be the most mature breakup I've ever had." " Did you really just use - the "Let's be friends" line" "On me though?" "I mean it." "[jazzy music]" "♪" "Mr. DeWitt." " Hey." " Glad to see you again." " Good to see you." " Is everything to your liking?" "Everything's perfect, but I think now would be a good time..." "To have them start on the chocolate soufflé." " It's in the oven." " Should be out shortly." " You read my mind." " That's my job." " You're gonna love - this chocolate soufflé." "It melts in your mouth." "Well, I can't wait to taste it." " Did you date her?" " Who?" " Big booty Trudy, - the waitress." "Did you date her?" "Where's this coming from?" " Shop girl at one of - my favorite boutiques" "Had a lot to say about you," " namely that you only date - 20-somethings" "And you refuse to ejaculate." " Wow." " But that's just what I heard." " Well, she did have a lot - to say about me." " Yes, she did." " Are you done?" "Yeah." "Thank you." " You mind if I ask - the shop girl's name?" "There was more than one?" " You know, there was a time" " I had a penchant" "For younger women." "I liked their availability, their flexibility." "I was just fixated on my career, but I'm not in that place anymore." "So you were a player?" "I guess for those who want to look at the victimization in this and call it that." "So what about the whole non-ejaculative aspect?" "What's up with that?" "For me, it makes the arousal last longer." " It's a way - to keep me engaged." "Oh." "And here I was thinking it was my wit and sparkling personality." "Go figure." " When you're ready - to hear me," "Let me know." "One chocolate soufflé and two spoons." "Enjoy." "[light melody]" "♪" "♪" "♪" "(Valerie)" "Well, you and Mary Jane are like sisters." " You've been friends - since childhood." " I'm sure that things - will work out." "Too much has happened." " I don't even know - where to start." "Well, you know what?" " Maybe the distance - is good right now," "Give you the time and space to continue working on yourself." "But right now" "I just feel stuck." "All these secrets between me and Dave are just getting in between our relationships." "Lisa, are you still taking your meds?" " I resent that," " Valerie." "Of course" "I'm taking my meds." "It's just..." "I feel the more I say or do, the more I'm misunderstood, which makes me seem crazy." " Now, I didn't say - you were crazy." "No, not as long as I'm on my meds, right?" "I just feel like I'm drowning, and no one wants to save me for fear that" "I'll pull them in with me." " I just think - that we should sit down," "Discuss it, be free," " and have everything - out in the open." "No." "Lisa, listen to me." "It's too much." "It's just too much." "It's a betrayal." " Now, if you're trying - to save your relationship" "With Mary Jane, this is not the way to handle it." "So saying nothing helps Mary Jane, but if I keep it all bottled in, how do I help myself?" "You forgive yourself." "[ringtone chiming]" " You aren't gonna - believe this." " Cynthia called in sick - tonight." " She did?" " What happened?" "Who gives a rat's ass?" "Anyway, I half-jokingly recommended to the network" " that you do it 'cause I didn't - think they'd go for it" " Because of your - blatant-ass disrespect" " And your ignoring - their wishes and whatnot," " But they were actually - considering it." "It's going up the chain as we speak, right now." " For real?" " For real." "For real!" " So look, forget about everything" " I said last night." "I am on my period," " and I cannot be held accountable - for any of my crazy," " Emotional, - stupid decisions." "I mean, I don't like the way we fight." " They're seriously - considering me?"

" Elizabeth Foy, welcome." " Thank you." " As an educator, you've really - been at the forefront" "Of debating the benefits of charter schools" " over traditional - public schools." " You know, I don't feel like - there's much of a debate" "When families and communities get to decide what's best" " for their children - versus some statewide mandate." "Well, like what?" " Well, you know, - charter schools" "Often get fewer tax dollars per student than regular public schools, but we work harder, and we get better results." "We have smaller class sizes, so we tend to have a more hands-on approach, from the teachers to the students to the parents, and the result is better student achievement, greater parent satisfaction," " and more vibrant - school communities." " Good job." " Keep it moving." "(Mary Jane)" "Your book is gaining a lot of momentum." " Well, you know," " I think it's because the book," "It just does a good job of breaking down" " the benefits - of charter schools in a way" " That anybody can understand, - you know?" "It gets the politics out of the way," " and it allows the parents - to decide" " What's best - for their child." "Well, it's interesting that you mention politics, because some are arguing" " that your best-selling book - is published by a foundation" "That supports neo-racist authors." "Whoa." "Excuse me?" "Your book is published by Encounter Books," " which is funded by - the Bradley Foundation." "In fact, the Linda and Harry Bradley Foundation was at the forefront in funding the arguments" " for faith-based funding - and school vouchers," "Most specifically as a way to lure back" " the black Democratic vote - to the GOP" " During the Bush - administration." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." " I don't see the connection." " This is not an ambush." " Oh, well, let me - connect the dots for you." " The thought is this." " What is she doing?" "This is not 60 Minutes."

" (Foy)" " I know how to teach children," "And I know that a program that allows families" " to have more choice - has proven more successful." "She got you back on book." "Stay with the book." " But weren't you recently - at a church in Alabama" " Where you and" " Congressman Boyd" "Passed out your book to the entire congregation?" " I'm..." "I'm sorry." " Is that a crime?" "Well, it could be," " because the books were bought - with campaign monies." " See, critics argue - that your book tour is merely" " The blueprint for the No Child" " Left Behind model" "That the Republicans used during the Bush administration," " you know, where they tried - to rally the black churches" "For their support" "I don't know."

" Let's talk about that." "Let's talk." "Okay, because where I'm sitting, you're a woman." "I'm a woman, but your mistake is that you seem to think that I only see things through the prism of race because I have black guests and I'm black," " but just because - you're Caucasian," "That doesn't make you immune from discrimination or being ignored as a woman." " If you were really - paying attention to my show," "You would see that we're not all that different at all."

" (Sheldon)" " I don't have anything to hide," "But I certainly didn't want you to find out about me like that." "Look, you're, um... you're not like any woman that I've dated before." "It used to be just about sex, but with you" "I'm engaged, and I want more, and for me that's a first." "[doorbell rings]" "Uh, w... uh, can you hold on for a second?" " [phone beeps]" " Oh, g..." "Hey, sexy." "I totally forgot you were coming over." "Okay." "Oh, Brandon, um, remember when we both agreed that if anything got serious," " then we would just..." " [clicks tongue]" "Yeah." "I think it's best we pull things back too." "Really?" "It's not you," "Mary Jane."

"You're totally lying." " You're only saying that because" " I was gonna cut us off first." " Oh, so I can't have - an original thought?" "You didn't come all the way over here to tell us to stop." "You could have just used your phone for that." "I'm sorry." " I just tried - to show you some respect." "You wanted some ass." "Of course I wanted some ass." " You think I'd pass up - good-bye sex?" "That's just dumb." "Good-bye, Brandon." "I will call you later." "You're crazy." " That's probably why - the sex was so good." "Bye." "♪" "Sorry about that." "Long hold." "Yeah, I was flipping a coin till I got the right answer." "(Sheldon)" "What did you decide?" "You were right." "I have been holding back, and the truth is I like you," "Sheldon, and I like where this is going." "So is my past still an issue?" "No." "But I, um..." "I want to go slow." "Taking it slow is fine with me." "Mmm." " (Sheldon)" " Can you define slow?" "[Mary Jane chuckles]"
