William's dad invites him
down to his auto repair shop.

1:28:09
he hasn't lived with the family
since William was a baby.

1:28:14
The car that I was gonna give you,
uh, I didn't finish it up yet.

1:28:18
I got some more to do to it yet.
1:28:21
I didn't see him for, like, three years.
1:28:24
It never popped in my mind.
1:28:27
- The car back there?
- No, that's the car right over there.

1:28:31
That black Cutlass right there.
1:28:35
I think he's, like...
1:28:37
"Oh, he really must be able
to play some basketball. '"

1:28:41
I think now he sees
somethin'at the end for himself.

1:28:49
I remember one time he tried to whup me,
but I wouldn't let him.

1:28:55
I said, "You may be my dad biologically,
but as far as being there-

1:29:01
Enough. '"
1:29:05
You say you'd like to come
to my next show that I do?

1:29:09
Yeah, come out and...
1:29:12
finally get a chance
to see you sing and -

1:29:15
Okay. What I'll have to do -
I don't have my schedules right this minute.

1:29:19
But I'll have to get that,
and I'll let you know.

1:29:35
Alicia, you're my only friend.
1:29:38
"A'wight? Jimmi-fi. "
1:29:41
Thank you.
1:29:44
I always knew that I was
gonna be a better dad than he was.

1:29:50
I wouldn'tjust leave her like that.
1:29:53
- Alicia?
- hmm? Yes, Mama?

1:29:56
If Alicia has a problem,
then I have a problem.
