- 48:02Tim assumed his daughter's Puerto Rican father would never have voted for Trump, then was stunned to hear him say he voted for him and was happy about it.
- 48:37The father's reasoning: all politicians lie, but at least Trump is entertaining.
- 49:08At the funeral home on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, Tim and Jasmine asked the owner to negotiate prices for the father's funeral.

- 49:51The owner had a cappuccino machine sitting next to a body and offered them both cappuccinos.
- 50:08When Jasmine mentioned her father voted for Trump, the funeral home owner's eyes filled with tears and he became very happy.
- 50:32The owner revealed he had a family in the day before—hippy dippies—who complained about Trump being bad for the country.
