Brown, where you all at?
We over here.
Where that money you owe me?
- I'm gonna give you two. - Thank you.
Thank you. Gracias.
You didn't know I spoke Spanish, did you?
Oooh, you should have got one.
See, it's not so bad.
Hey, Harry.
- Hey. - Mmm.
One of your women?
- No, it's my cousin. - Oh.
That don't mean nothing down here, do it?
Oh ho.
That's cold.
I'm kidding.
- Hi, Mommy! - Hi, Mommy!
Hi, baby! Oh.
They're having fun.
Yeah.
Why don't you have a woman, anyway?
- Huh? - I'm divorced.
Ooooh.
Six years, three kids
and a whole lot of drama.
My drama trumps your drama.
Hey, step right up, step right up.
Who can get the ball in the basket? How about you, young man?
- Huh huh? - Hey, Harry?
Yeah, you there, sir.
Get the ball in the basket,
you can win a cute little doll for the lovely lady back there.
- Maybe you're scared. - You got some money?
The young man's going to clean me out of all my profits.
I'm in, but I'll just play. Not for money.
- Run it. - How about every one we win
you buy back from us?
All right.
Keep that elbow in, all right?
That's what I'm talking, dawg.
- Bing bing bing. - Oh ho ho!
That's good form.
That's the difference right there, man.
Come on, man, get some more, get some more animals, man...
- Oh, man, look at you. - Too easy.
- Tosha, take this in the house for Mama. - Okay.
Hey, wait up.
Hey, man, here's your cut.
Oh no, you keep it.
Thanks.
Think I'm winning him over.
Don't be so sure about that.
He hasn't really had a real man in his life.
And I sure can't afford to let another one come running in
and out of it.
Is it his life or your life we're talking about?
What?
I don't know who you're protecting, you or him.
Both of us, I guess.
I see.
You really think he's that good?
I do.
Well, how would that work? I mean, how would you coach him?
I mean, you're here. He's with me in Chicago.
And look, he's not moving down here.
I can make a few trips up there,
give him some drills.
Maybe in the summer, he can do a camp
with me and some of the other players.
Hmm, what about his education?
I promise you
he'll come back smarter than he left.
Yeah, well, I'll think about it.
- Take your time. - I have to ask him.
Yeah, do that.
Hey, thank you for the day.
I really appreciate it.
No, thank you.
Goodbye...
and thank you so much, Harry.
Goodbye.
Oh.
It's for you.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
I'm just gonna go and pack.
No, you are gonna stay
for the reading of the will, aren't you?
Oh, no no no no.
Stay? Daddy didn't leave her nothing.
- Vera. - You should stay.
- No, really. - Come on.
Come on, sit down.
- Come on over here. - He your daddy too.
Brenda, come on.
Come on. Come on in here now.
Come on, you'll probably thank me too.
You're Daddy's child, you may as well.
- You never know. - Why don't you shut...
Sit down now, sit sit.
L.B., she ain't no puppy.
What, you gonna have her sit and do tricks?
Brother Sam, you read the last will and "testicles."
Yeah, that's what I've been waiting for.
I got dressed up for this. Come on.
Okay, folks...
Pop Brown's last will and testament.
Here it is.
"To L.B. and his beautiful wife Sarah..."
Beautiful? Must have been blind, crippled and crazy.
"...I leave all my money..."
- Whoo! Thank you, Daddy. - Sweet!
- "...a total amount of $575." - You rich! You rich!
- That ain't nothing. - What? 500?
We... we took care of that sucker till he died.
He just leave us nothing but that?
$575.
I washed his toes and cleaned his nose!
He's so happy he can't get his words out. He's rich.
And and and... keep reading, baby.
- "To Vera..." - Yes.
"...I leave all my love."
Love, yes, and...
"May it keep you warm at night."
There's got to be more. You keep reading, baby.
Keep reading 'cause I know there's more for me.
"And to Brown..."
Oh, boy, this is good.
"...I leave my house."
The house?
I'd rather have the love. That house is tore up, Brown.
Shut up, Vera. We grew up in that house.
Yeah, us and several families
of rats and roaches. What the hell is that?
"To my daughter Brenda..."
- Brenda? - Brenda?
- Wh... - "...I leave my old rental property."
Oh, Brenda, that's wonderful.
He left me a house?
Do you think we're living here?
Do you think we're living here now?
Okay, well, it has potential.
Potential to be torn down.
Is this our house, Mama?
Looks that way, baby.
- I'm gonna go back to the projects. - Yeah, me too.
Me three.
I'd stay with you, brother.
Hmm.
Come on.
At least go inside.
All right, but, Tosha, Lena,
y'all wait in the car. Come on, go ahead.
Looks dangerous in here.
Ma.
It got a welcome mat.
Ooh.
- It's a nice house. - Really?
What you looking at?
It just needs a little work.
This house don't need no little nothing.
- Ma, come on. - What?
Can we please get out of here?
I'm not trying to miss the bus.
Could you just give me a minute? Let me ask you something.
What do you think about Harry coaching you?
- Hmm? - I'm cool with it if it gets us out of here.
Oh, he cool with it.
That's good.
Uh-huh.
You know, I really wish you weren't leaving.
Well, gotta get back to my life.
- Ma, come on! - I'm coming.
Brenda, you leaving me so soon?
Yeah, we got to be heading back.
Okay, well, look, here's my number.
I want you to keep in touch, okay?
- Oh, I will. - All right.
And here...
What's this?
It's from me and Sarah. We wanted to bless you with something.
No, Cora, no. No, I can't.
- No, take it. - I can't.
You have to take it. We wanted to bless you with it.
It's just a little something. Brenda, please.
Ain't no telling when I'd be able to pay y'all back.
Oh, honey, don't worry about that.
If some of these fathers don't take care of these babies,
then us single mothers have to stick together. Please take it.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
This is the nicest thing that anybody's ever done for me.
- Really? - Yeah.
Well, maybe you need to change your friends.
- Thank you, thank you. - Oh, you're so welcome.
- What did he say? - Yeah, he hiring all right,
but not for the job he advertising for.
- I go kill him now. - No no no no.
- Cheryl. - Let me go.
Stop it, calm down.
Hey, don't you wanna hear about my trip, huh?
- You never told me about the trip. - Don't ask.
- Brenda, you just... - I'm just kidding.
Did he leave you anything at least?
Yeah, a house.
- When are we moving? - Huh-uh, girl, it's so raggedy.
You can't live in it. Compared to that, we live in a palace.
Brenda, don't be selfish.
Let's move to Georgia so I can find me one
of those big old Jethro-looking papis
so I can cucuchanga.
Girl, you know what? I think I might have met somebody
- who'd be just your style. - For me?
Uh-huh.
His name's Brown.
I got it.
Who is it?
Hey.
What you doing here?
I've been thinking about what you said,
and I'm gonna help you out.
So can I come in,
please?
Yeah.
Come on in.
Damn, girl, this how you live?
You gonna give me some money or not?
What you gonna give me, huh?
I ain't gonna give you nothing.
- Aw, come on, girl, damn it. - No, stop it, stop it.
You oughta wanna do the right thing and take care of your son.
- You're right. - Why I gotta threaten you
with child support to take care of him?
Damn, Brenda, do it.
- The boy probably ain't mine anyway. - You bastard!
You need this money, don't you, right?
So come on, baby, where's the bedroom?
No, stop it. I don't sleep with men for money.
Well, your mama used to, didn't she?
I ain't my mama. Get the hell out of my house!
Forget you then. You all ain't getting nothing.
I don't care if both of y'all starve to death.
You bastard. You would do that to your own son?
- Hey. - You're just evil.
I told you when you was pregnant I didn't give a damn about you or the boy.
Matter of fact, what did you do with the $200 I gave you for the abortion?
I'll bet you wish you had that $200 now.
- Don't you? - Hey, Michael, baby.
Hey, Mike. What's up, boy?
Mama, why you begging like this?
No no, he ain't gotta help us.
No, I know how to make some things happen on my own.
You don't need to beg this motherf...
Leave it. He's still your father.
- Get your hand out of my face. - Boy, better watch your mouth!
- No, no, it's not worth it. - Mama, are you defending him?
Look, if you ain't man enough to help us,
I know how to make some things happen on my own.
- No, baby. Where are you going? - No no.
Michael! Mike, stop him.
That boy ain't my responsibility. It isn't my problem.
No, Michael!
Michael!
Michael.
- Hey. - Hey.
Can I come in?
Yeah yeah, come on in.
Have a seat.
I'm sorry. I thought you were Michael.
He's not here?
No.
Did you tell him about the practice sessions I set up for him?
Yeah, I did.
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
What's up, man?
What's up? You're just the man I need to see.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
You can't win a game with your shoes falling off, dawg.
- Here. - These are for me?
You know it. I got money on this game, dawg.
I need you on your "A."
- Thanks, Calvin. - It's all good, dawg.
Hey, man,

You want in?
Yeah, show me what I gotta do.
- All right. - Mike.
Who is this fool?
- He 5-0? - No, man, I'll handle it.
Dude, what are you doing here?
Your mother's looking for you.
You got some nerve coming around here.
- So you gonna do this, huh? - Why not?
- You're too smart for this. - Dude, you don't know nothing about me.
I know you're about to make a stupid mistake.
Harry, you don't know nothing about my life.
You don't know what we're up against.
It doesn't matter what you're up against.
You could make a stupid mistake and have everything in the world going for you.
I was in the league.
I started gambling.
Lost everything, including my wife and kids.
I made mistakes I'm still paying for today.
I know a few things about going down the wrong road.
And this is the wrong road.
- All right, man. - Dude,
you better get out of here.
Okay.
We're supposed to practice tomorrow at 3:00.
If you show up,
then I'll know you're as smart as I think you are.
Yeah, whatever, man.
I'm gonna be here for two days.
- All right? - Yeah, let's do this.
Come here.
What?
Where you been all night, huh?
I was with Calvin.
Okay, so you're a man now.
You gonna sell dope, huh?
Now you think that makes you a man?
Why not, Mama? We ain't got nothing.
- Boy, are you crazy? - No, you work like a dog,
and what has it gotten you?
You talk about God making a way.
Mama, I'm not trying to die to get to heaven.
I want mine here on earth.
Then you know what?
You gonna have to get out of my house then, huh?
You think you're grown? Go.
Get out!
Mama, where am I gonna go?
I don't wanna hear it. I done my best by you.
I done tried. Get out.
Who's gonna help you with Lena and Tosha?
Don't you even worry about that, okay? I got that.
You just get out.
- No no, I'm not going, Mama. - Go on.
No child of mine is gonna sell dope, you hear me?
I ain't sitting up in here waiting to hear that you done got killed.
Get out. Hit the bricks.
No, Mama, I'm not going.
No, if I go, I'm a coward just like my dad.
I'm your son.
I'm not gonna leave you like them other dudes.
Mama, I'm just tired
of seeing you hurt and struggling.
I'm sorry.
Mama, I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - We gonna be all right.
You hear me?
- I'm sorry. - We gonna be all right.
We gonna be all right. I promise. I promise.
I'm sorry, Mama.
I love you, baby. I love you.
- I love you too. I'm sorry. - All right, all right, all right.
Okay, just...
just... just go to bed, all right?
Go now.
All right, let's go. On the whistle, chest passes.
Passer makes the shooter.
Pass it like you want him to shoot the ball.
Are you coachable? Do you listen?
It's good to see you.
On the whistle, chest passes.
- What's up, Calvin? - What's up, dawg?
I won six large on you tonight.
You play with heart, son.
Here.
Look, man, that's what I came to tell you.
Calvin, I can't do this.
Here, this is all the money.
It's your cut and mine.
I'm sorry, dude.
You know what? I understand that.
You ain't got this in you, man.
You go on now. You go play basketball.
Me? I'm gonna be a hood rat.
That's all I'll ever be.
Calvin, you can be whatever you want to be.
No, kid.
Yo, son, you think you can just sell on my turf?
Mike, run!
Mike's great. I wish he was playing in my gym.
What about you? What about your house?
What about it?
What you gonna do with it?
Let it do what it's been doing for the last whatever years.
Which is what?
Sit there.
- That ain't no good. - Try this. You'll like it.
Get in there. Come on.
Oh, man, that's good. What is that?
- Is that pork? - That's pork, baby.
I don't even eat pork, and that's good.
Brenda, I like talking to you.
Thanks.
But this is about helping my son, right?
Yeah.
What if I also enjoy spending as much time with you
- as I do coaching your son? - Harry.
I ain't going down that road, okay?
- Thanks, girl. - You're welcome.
- All right now, I work for tips. - I know.
- This is your neighborhood, huh? - Mm-hmm.
It ain't so bad, is it?
You'd rather live here than in your own house?
Well, I know this. I don't know nothing about Georgia.
So it's friends keeping you here.
If I could live here, I ain't afraid of nothing.
Brenda, aye, mami.
- Cheryl, hi, girl. - I've been looking all over for you.
We have to go to the hospital.
- The hospital, why? - They shot him.
- What happened, Cheryl? - Mikey... they shot him!
Michael.
I never had much of a mother,
so I was determined to be the best that I could.
When he was young, I gave him to the Lord.
I said, "Lord, protect my baby.
Watch him for me."
But I can't...
I can't feed him.
I can't give him what he need.
There are nights when I go to bed hungry
'cause I know they didn't get enough to eat all day.
You know, I just...
feel so bad.
Why did I do this to them?
You know, I can't even keep 'em out of harm's way.
Hey hey hey hey.
You've done more than most.
Look, thank you. I know you have to go.
No, I'm not going anywhere
unless you want me to go.
No.
I'm here with you.
Thank you.
Hey, Brenda, what's up with all these emergency phone calls?
Michael Jr., he was shot last night
trying to hustle money for me.
But I ain't paying for no funeral.
He ain't dead. You bastard.
Hold on here. Don't call me.
- You know what happened last night. - Hey hey!
- Is everything all right here, Brenda? - Yeah.
I'm fine.
I gotta go to work.
Hey hey.
- Michael. - What?
This is my last $25.
That's what you make? Can I buy an hour of your time
to spend with your son?
Don't you call my house again.
You're pissing off my wife.
- You okay? - Miss Brown.
- Yes. - Hi. Now we managed
to get the bullet and stop the bleeding.
It's a miracle that it missed his vital organs.
Is he gonna be okay?
Yes, he's gonna be fine.
I need to see him.
Well, he's in recovery right now,
but he'll be in I.C.U. in just a little bit.
Thank you, thank you.
You're welcome. You're welcome. All right.

And anyways, look at that.
You're in very good hands.
I know, I can't even believe he stayed as long as he did.
Ay, you know I don't like half the men you've dated,
but this one...
I like him a lot.
Mmm.
Uh, we ain't dating.
Yeah, call it whatever you want. You might not be dating him,

Are you serious?
Oh, Tosha.
Oh my God.
Welcome home.
What is this? Harry!
I can't believe this.
It's your house.
Oh my God.
Hey! Don't y'all just stand there.
Come on in this house!
Come on now! Come on!
Oh, Harry told us what happened.
- We all prayed for you, Mike. - Thank you.
Y'all come on in. I decorated.
- What? - No he didn't.
Baby. Awww.
Come here. Come on.
Oh my gosh.
Mom!
Mama, I got my own room!
I know, baby.
Oh! Oh, God, thank you.
Thank you. How did you afford to do all of this?
Well, I pitched in most of the money.
If you call $45 most of it,
well then, okay.
No, we had a fundraiser at the church.
- Yeah, and we all pitched in. - Thank you. Thank you.
l... I don't know what to say.
Money shot.
Here you go. Go up strong. Always go up strong.
You know, I think that Harry's a nice man.
- Yes, he is. - Mm-hmm.
- Thank you. - He put up the most money for this house.
- He sure did. - He did?
And I think he likes you.
Mm-hmm.
- Mama? - Yeah, baby.
Where do these two lovebirds go?
Come on, I'll show you.
I think...
he likes her son.
What are you talking about?
Honey, are you that naive?
You haven't noticed all that attention he been giving that boy?
What are you trying to say, Vera?
Oh, not like that.
He's being so nice to her because her son
is a gold mine.
Okay? He's trying to get in
so he can get that boy to go pro so he can get some of them perks...
maybe pay off some of them gambling debts, okay?
Child, please. This is an investment.
She better watch out.
- I don't believe none of that. - Me neither.
Why else would a man be this nice
to a woman with three...
count 'em... three kids.
Well, you know, Vera, there are some good men in this world.
And Harry happens to be one of them.
- That's right. - Not according to the local bookies.
Why you think he got kicked out of the league?
Don't sit there acting like y'all don't know this boy got a gambling problem.
- Don't be acting like you don't know. - You need to stop
- listening to all that gossip, Vera. - Please.
- Stop being messy. - Hush your mouth before she hears you.
- Yes. - If you ain't happy,
you don't want nobody else to be.
Well, I called it like I see it and smell it!
Well, you're always smelling up some mess.
That's right.
Do your negative smelling somewhere else
'cause you're always smelling up a mess.
- Cora! - What?
- Cora! - Yeah!
I'm in the kitchen! I'm in the kitchen!
Your mama done went crazy! People just everywhere!
Mr. Brown, please!
Cora, you slapped your daddy? I oughta whup your butt.
Calm down. What's wrong?
Just sit down. Sit down.
- Turn the TV on. - Okay...
- Turn the TV on! - What happened on the TV?
- Get the TV on. - I'm trying to get it on. Hold on.
- What happened? - Look!
A routine traffic stop turned into one of the largest and most bizarre
and shocking police pursuits
that we have ever seen.
This old woman is driving like she has a lot to lose.
Who could this be calling me right now? Hello.
Cora, hey. How you doing, baby?
Madea, please tell me that's not you.
Yeah, it's me, honey.
Yeah.
Madea, why don't you just pull over?
- You can't out... - I can't pull over.
- You goin' to jail. - These police is after me.
Hold on, I'm gonna put you on speakerphone.
Mabel, pull over. Just stop.
Oh, Lordy, there's helicopters and everything now.
- Pull your car over... - Mabel, you can't outrun
- the "helichoppers." - Please, Madea, please!
- They ain't taking me to jail! - Like hell they ain't.
...just gonna send me to jail. I'm going all the way this time.
Madea, please pull the car over.
They ain't gonna get me! They ain't gonna get me!
I'm gonna be on "Cops."
No, you can't. Madea, please.
I love you, honey. Please just pull over.
I can't pull over, Cora.
Y'all come down there to DeKalb County, put $20 on my book.
I'm running out of gas. I might have to stop.
If it's any "constipation," I love you.
I always have and I always will.
Madea, please. I love you, honey, please...
Yeah, I love you too. Go to hell.
- Hey, Ma. - Hey, sweetheart.
- Guess what. - What?
Harry took me to his lawyer to sign a contract with him.
- He's my manager now. - He did what?
Yeah, I sent some footage to a pro scout.
I don't know how the word got out,
but next thing I know, there's bunch of agents at the gym pressuring Mike.
You know, I had him sign something... so they wouldn't take advantage of him.
- Harry knows his stuff, Mama. - I know a little bit.
Michael, why don't you go check on your sisters,
- make sure they wash up? - Okay.
- You okay? - Yeah.
You been awful quiet the last few days.
I'm fine.
Harry, can I ask you something?
Yeah.
What's in this for you?
- What are you talking about? - Why is he so important to you?
- Hmm? - l...
- Hmm. - Mike's a good kid.
He's a talented kid.
What are you talking about?
I don't like you spending all this time with him.
And I don't understand why you're sending footage to pro scouts.
Trying to... trying to help.
Why? Why? What for?
What's in it for you?
I mean, if he gets a million-dollar contract,
you think you gonna get your cut?
Is this some kinda game to you?
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on.
Where is this coming from?
Huh? What, have that many men hurt you that you can't trust one?
This ain't about me, all right?
This is about you.
Now, how much gambling debt are you in?
You didn't think I'd hear about that?
- You think I'm in it for some money? - Well, are you?
Is that what you think of me?
Should that be what I think of you?
- Brenda... - You're not going to be his manager.
- Brenda... - No, just go. Go. Go, please.
I paid all of my gambling debts. I don't owe anybody anything.
Get out.
Oh, hell. I'm running out of gas.
Pull your car over to the side.
Cora, here.
Go bail your mama out. Give her this $20.
What... what is this for?
It's for back child support.
Back...
I owe it to ya.
And there it is.
- As fast as it started... - Oh, they got her.
But it still has gone down
as one of the longest police pursuits in history.
What the hell? They gonna send "helichoppers"
and all these police cars for a little old woman.
- Get out of the vehicle now. - Don't shoot.
I'm getting out of the car. They gonna lock your ass up.
I ain't got no weapon.
I ain't never do nothing wrong.
- You gonna leave me up here... - I ain't got no weapon.
All of this for me, huh?
What the hell you got me surrounded for?
She got a gun! She... she kidnapped me.
Get out of your vehicle with your hands up.
Very slowly! Very slowly!
Put your hands on the car, ma'am.
- Hands on the car right now... - Hold on one minute.
- Let me tell you something here. - Put your hands on the car.
I ain't finna put my hands on the car 'cause my hands is hurtin'.
- Ma'am, put your hands... - Who the hell you talkin' to?
- You don't want... - Put your hands on the car!
- You ain't gonna take me down! - Settle down, ma'am!
Put your hands on the car now.
I'm Madea!
There's another charge.
And another charge.
- Man down! Man down! - Another charge. That's six more years.
Get her off me!
One, two, three!
You giving me a mammogram!
Hell, you ain't going...
Get in the car, ma'am. Get in the car.
- Transport chase suspect. Over. - Affirmative.
- Stay back, people. - All right, everybody.
Just a minute.
- Hi. How may I help you? - Yeah, I'm Richard Carney.
I'm looking for Brenda and Michael Brown.
- What about? - I'm a sports agent and, well, can we talk?
Uh, what about? How'd you get my address?
Ma, Ma, please.
Come on in.
Hi.
- How you doing? - Good.
I sent your son's tape to two professional teams.
And they were very impressed.
I've already got two teams
that are interested in signing him right now.
- Really? - Yes.
And I can make a really good deal for your son.
So what do you want to do?
Hmm?
What do you think?
So what about college?
We'll have you take college courses,
- even help you get a degree. - Mama...
Let's do it.
- Okay. All right. - Yeah?
- Mm-hmm. - Let's do it.
- Yeah. - Okay.
Um, he signed a contract with someone to be his manager.
Does that person have any legal grounds to any of his money?
- You mean Harry Belton? - Yeah.
That contract didn't ask for money. It was more of a guidance thing.
He wasn't even trying to get paid.
I guess with all of his knowledge of this business,
he just didn't want him to be taken advantage of.
Listen, Miss Brown,
I'll be in touch in a week, okay?
And you, young man,
- you get ready. - Yes, sir.
We'd like to say that the Thunderhawks are very happy to have him onboard.
A million dollars is a lot of money...
- I'm his daddy. ...are other players going to be jealous...
Hey, son, how you doing?
Look, son, can I holler at you a minute?
- Mama. - He's still your daddy.
- What is he to me? - I just want to say congratulations, boy.
- I'm proud of you. You did it. - Hey hey hey.
When you had the chance to be in my life, you didn't want no part of me.
You should have thought about all this before.
Hey, now, come on. Don't be like that.
I don't know why you here, man.
That $25 an hour is waiting on you.
What position is he going to play?
Coach, what do you think Mike's gonna do with all the money?
Why don't we let Mike answer that question?
Mike, what are you gonna do with all that money?
Make sure my mom and my sisters
are taken care of.
- And he's gonna finish school. - And finish school.
Hey, Mike, what are you gonna do for your dad?
- Who? - Isn't that your father?
Well, that's funny.
I've... I've seen my father twice since I was four.
My mom's been breaking her back
to make sure my sisters and I
had food on the table.
We lived in the projects while he went on
and started his life with someone else living the good life,
but somehow he seemed to make it to my big day.
Why don't I let my dad answer that for you? Come on, Dad.
Are you proud of your son?
What was he like as a kid?
How were his grades growing up?
- Tell us about the moves he got from you. - Favorite game memory?
Well, l... you know, that was a long time ago.
He's always been a good boy. He's always been real athletic
and... and he's always loved his basketball.
How do you feel about your son's comments?
Hey, you... you know, it...
you know what?
Are you gonna spend more time with him now?
That's up to my boy. That's up to Mike.
- I hope so. - With you showing up at this time,
some folks would consider that gold digging.
But hey, this is all about my son, right?
This is all about my boy, all right?
This is not about me.
This isn't the way home.
Yeah, I know.
What?
Ma, you were wrong about Harry.
Michael, you don't know nothing about that, okay?
No, that's a good dude, Mama.
And you need to fix it.
Well, isn't that what you would tell me?
Yeah.
He's in there.
Hey.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Talent, attitude, skill.
He deserves it.
Thank you for all your help.
It's all good.
You know, um...
I can pay you back now
for all you did for us...
the house, the move,
everything.
- You don't get it, do you? - Get what?
I didn't do all of that so you could pay me back.
I'm sorry.
I'm just so used to being taken advantage of...
Yeah, that you don't even know when somebody loves you.
You love me?
Yeah.
Tell Mike I said congratulations.
Hey, what if I told you I love you too,
but I just got scared for a second,
but I'd rather be scared and with you
than not scared and not have you?
What... why would I scare you?
Because you're everything I always wanted in a man.
Then let me be that for you.
Cora, do you miss your granddaddy?
I never met him.
- You what? - I never met him.
Let me introduce you to your granddaddy.
- He dead. - Cora, that man died, but he can still hear.
Whoo! Don't you know that angels got ears, Cora?
Come here, Cora.
You got to meet him. Look the way he dressed.
Look at Daddy.
Cora, our daddy was ugly, but he was our daddy.
Yes, he was. Cora, look at him.
This is your granddaddy.
- Don't touch it. - That's our granddaddy.
It's our granddaddy.
- Cora... look at him, Cora. - I'm looking at him.
Look at him! Look down at him!
Look at him!
Look down at him!
Go up close, Cora. Cora, look... look... kiss him.
Kiss your granddaddy. Kiss him on the forehead.
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh!
Let her alone!
How strong is your faith?
You believe he can come back?
You believe he can be like Nazareth?
Put your hand on his heart, Cora.
You can beat some life in...
beat his heart, Cora! Beat into him, Cora!
Don't touch my daddy!
Cora, I just wanted you to have...
this is your daddy, Cora.
Cora, look at him. You know who this is?

Please, you have to open your eyes.
Hello. Yeah.

on your cell phone while you driving.

for her to make cakes for the church.
Bless them chickens!
- Yes. - Amen. Amen.

Every time you read the paper, it say the Bereaved family.

'Cause I looked in... is she Bereaved?
I didn't even know she was kin of the Bereaved family.
