00:00Toothpaste, toothbrush, in your mouth now.
00:03What?
00:04Matter. You gotta be mad at me like you mean it.
00:07Eloise, you brushed those teeth.
00:08Don't make me come in here and have to say it twice.
00:11Nice.
00:14This is Eloise. She's my granddaughter.
00:16What are you doing?
00:17I wanna make pancakes.
00:18Set the table, please.
00:19My wife and I raised her after my daughter died.
00:22Bye, Papa.
00:23Then life threw us a curve, and now her grandmother's gone too.
00:26The love of my life.
00:28Do you really plan on raising this girl all by yourself?
00:31This is every day?
00:33Yup.
00:34Do you need to call her another grandmother?
00:36Grandma Wee Wee?
00:37Yeah.
00:38The last person I need around me right now is Grandma Wee Wee.
00:41Miss Milo, that's right.
00:43You got a plan for Eloise in light of all this?
00:46You tied it like a tennis shoe.
00:48She's got a whole lot of family down with me.
00:50Well, you can always come for a swim.
00:52Oh, my.
00:53Hey, guys.
00:55Hey, baby.
00:58I'm thinking we need to start talking about shared custody.
01:01Not gonna happen.
01:02She has a father.
01:03You live in a blind spot when it comes to your son.
01:06He's a junkie.
01:07And you're a drunk.
01:08Okay, thank you.
01:09Run on home, fill your bathtub with whiskey and just soak in it.
01:12Have yourself an old drunk man's bubble bath.
01:15Got it.
01:16Good.
01:19This is a little girl's life we're talking about.
01:21You know what, Rowena?
01:22You petition for custody.
01:25Eloise needs more love than just what her grandfather can give her.
01:28What she needs is stability.
01:29Especially now since she's lost her grandmother.
01:34One of her grandmothers.
01:37That's you, me, and daddy.
01:41You just want her away from us, the black people.
01:44I've lost everything.
01:46I can't lose her, too.
01:48We need to let her know right now that she's worth fighting for.
01:51Do you dislike black people?
01:55Not all of them.
01:56This isn't about black and white.
01:58I love you, mama.
01:59This is about Eloise.
02:04Oh.
02:05The skinny one right here.
02:06Is it supposed to be me?
02:07No.
02:10It's not my favorite.
02:11Oh, my God.
02:12Take me out.
