00:00God, I miss you so much!

00:03Oh, how you been?

00:05My man! Come here!

00:07Come!

00:09How you doing?

00:11Wow, that's a powerful handshake.

00:13You Harvard or MIT?

00:15Harvard, I bet.

00:16Uh, no, I dropped out.

00:19Haha, you were right, Vic.

00:21He is funny.

00:24Um, right.

00:26Bags at the front, thank you.

00:28So, are you doing everything to keep my daughter happy?

00:32Daddy.

00:33Just having a little fun, but honestly, Darius.

00:37Dad.

00:39Oh, right, Cash. Yes, of course.

00:41How much do I owe you?

00:42This is Darius.

00:44Uh, your boyfriend's...

00:47Darius.

00:48But you're...

00:49Darius. Darius White.

00:52But who are you?

00:53I'm just a driver, man.

00:55Uh...

00:56Sweetheart!

00:57You made it!

00:58Come in! Come in!

00:59Oh my God!

01:00White...

01:01White!

01:24You've got grease all over your fingernails.

01:26fingernails. Oh, sorry. Darius, let me take your jacket. It's a pleasure to meet you,

01:36Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel. Please call me Jenna. Jenna. And Mr. Gabriel. Dinner is going to

01:47be ready soon. I will be right back. So, Mr. Gabriel, Victoria's told me a lot about you.

01:57It's really impressive what you've accomplished. I hope to be as successful an entrepreneur as you

02:03one day. Not dressed and looking like that, you won't. Dad. What kind of a man presents himself

02:11looking like this? We left right after my shift. I didn't get a chance to get changed.

02:17So, where did you guys meet? We met at university. Oh, are you in Victoria's class?

02:26Uh, no. We met while I was working there. Well, you were a teacher. Actually, um, I was detailing

02:32a client's car. Oh, is that a business that you run? Right now, I'm just working for someone,

02:39but I do hope to own my own business one day. I send you to Harvard and you come back with

02:46a car detailer. Dad, stop. You don't even know him.

02:51Darius White. Yeah, that's his last name. It's a bit of an odd name for a...

02:56You know, there are many black Americans with the last name White. You know, you're being

02:59really close-minded. Just saying. One would think that, uh, with a name like White...

03:07Is that why you're being so hard on him? Don't be foolish. That's not what this is

03:12about. My concern is you're dating a car detailer who doesn't even own a car.

03:17Well, that's actually why I'm in town. My parents live out here and my dad's giving me his old

03:23SUV. It's got some mechanical issues, but I can fix it up.

03:28Hmm. With what? A buffer and some turl wax?

03:33He's moving home to study mechanics. Oh, so you're still relying on your parents.

03:40Dad, you know what? Stop. You know, he treats me really well and...

03:45I love him. What do you know about love? He doesn't even have a degree.

03:54I'm sorry, Darius, but my daughter cannot date a car detailer.

03:58Dad, you don't even know him. No. He's right. I get it.

04:06You shouldn't be dating someone like me. You can do better, Vic.

04:15I can't believe you would say something like that.

04:23You know, I never thought you'd behave this way.

04:30Where did they go? He's a car detailer, Jenna. Did you know?

04:36What did you say to him? I said the truth. What truth?

04:40That he's just not good enough for Victoria. She deserves more.

04:44Who are you to stand in judgment? I didn't break my back for this family

04:49so that we can have a better life only to have my daughter throw it all away

04:53on someone who isn't going anywhere. How could you do that to her?

04:58She'll be fine. She'll get over it. She's too young to understand right now,

05:01but someday when she does, she'll thank me. Oh, really?

05:05Well, and I guess you're lucky that I didn't follow my father's advice after I met you.

05:10Meaning?

05:12Do you remember where you came from? Because I do.

05:17I remember the gas station uniform and the smell of fuel on your hands

05:21and the determined look in your eye. You came from nothing.

05:26And people doubted you, but you believed in yourself.

05:30It's one of the things I admired most about you.

05:32You worked hard, pumping gas and changing oil and fixing flats.

05:38But you had bigger aspirations.

05:40Now look at you. You're a respected leader,

05:43running your own successful business with a suit to match.

05:48But somewhere along the way, you seem to have forgotten where you came from.

05:53You were just like Darius when you started, chasing a big dream from a small start.

05:57Don't forget that.

06:01You're right.

06:03I'm sorry.

06:06I just...

06:08I don't remember what it's like to struggle.

06:10I don't want our daughter to have to go through the same thing we did to fight as hard as we did.

06:16I want her to have an easier path, a better start in life.

06:19We struggled and we managed.

06:21They will too.

06:25I gotta fix this.

06:27I really messed up.

06:28There's the man I know.

06:31Looks like you could use a hand.

06:48Mr. Gabriel?

06:50What brings you here?

06:51Victoria gave me your address.

06:53You mind if I take a look?

06:54No.

06:55Really, you don't want to get dirty.

06:57Why not?

06:58Besides, we'll get it fixed faster if we work together.

07:00Mr. Gabriel, seriously, it's okay.

07:03My grandpa taught me a lot about fixing cars.

07:06Max, please, call me Max.

07:08I was just like you when I met Victoria's mom.

07:10I wanted to do everything by myself.

07:13That's what drove me to start my own business.

07:15Wow.

07:17I had no idea you started out like that.

07:19I guess we do have a lot in common.

07:22More than you realize.

07:24Listen, I'm really sorry about doubting you.

07:28It was wrong of me to question your worth like that.

07:32I completely forgot what it's like to be in your position.

07:35You think we can just wipe the slate clean?

07:38Oh, my hands are grasp-blind.

07:41It'll match my personality.

07:42Come on.

07:42Looks like your serpentine is worn out.

07:49Yeah, you've got a keen eye.

07:51Yeah, it looks like it's jumping off the pulleys and most probably overheating your engine.

07:56Yeah, I think the tensioner is going out.

08:00Wait, how did you know that?

08:04So tell me about this business you'd like to own someday.

08:07Of course.

08:12Well, so maybe you can come along.
