Let him go. It's his life.

- I don't even live here.

- Well, you ain't going nowhere either.

So you may as well move in.

- Don't say that, Ella.

And sit down, both of you.

Sit down.

- Straighten my pillow up.

- How am I supposed to sit?

- Curtis, on three, let him go.

One...

A-two...

A-two and a half...

Three. Curtis, let him go.

Three. Three. Three, three, three, three.

- And she let you in?

- Yeah. I did.

But, listen, I thought it was the delivery guy.

You know what I'm saying? With the package

that I was supposed to wait for.

- Jasmine, you know you're supposed to get up and check

the door before you let-- - I know, Auntie, I know,

I get that now. I understand.

- Are you cutting me off? - No, Ma'am.

- This my last time asking you.

What are you doing here?

- Cousin Calvin asked me to stay for the package.

- What package?

- Baby, don't worry about that package.

- No, I was coming to bring your dishes back from Sunday,

Cousin Calvin asked me to stay.

- This is like in old days.

- I know. I know.

Go on, Jasmine.

- So, I was here doing that.

I was waiting for the package, and...

you know-- - I came over.

- ELLA AND CURTIS: Why?

- I knew she was here alone.

- Oooh!

- [sighs]

- How did you know that? - Right.

- Uh, your wife told my dad that she wasn't

gonna be here today.

She was going out for her birthday or something.

- Ella, what are you doing talking to his daddy?

- Curtis. - Spending all that money

taking you to dinner!

And you talking to some other man!

Who is he?

- He is the pastor of the church.

- Like I said, what are you doing talking to him?

I don't know him.

- That's because you don't go to church.

- And you still haven't answered the question.

- Curtis, listen to me.

The pastor asked me if I was coming to church tonight

for choir rehearsal. That's it.

- Ella, you can't sing.

- Oh, Curtis.

Don't do this. - No, I mean, you alright.

- ELLA: Are you-- - You got pretty tones.

- Are you really doing this?

- But you ain't no Mahalia Jackson.

- Curtis. - Al Patina and them.

Or The Montgomery Ward singers.

- I'm about to be singing at your funeral.

- You'd be off key.

- And you'll be dead. Keep it up.

- My bad.

Okay, okay.

- So, what is going on?

- I just wanted to see her, that's all.

- Are you trying to get Jasmine to have

sex with you? - No, Ella, don't say that.

Please stop saying that.

- That's what it's called, Curtis.

- Ooh, I can't take that.

I can't take this!

I can't take this! - Uncle Curtis!

- Curtis! - KALEB: [moans]

- You lied! - I'm not lying.

- You lied! - Curtis! Watch--

- You lied!

- I'm not lying.

I didn't. - [heavy breathing]

Get up.

Tell me. Tell me!

- I--okay, I just wanted to see if she was ready.

- Ooh! - Curtis!

- Take this! - Oh man!

- Curtis, please watch my furniture.

- Is he in my chair? - What?

- You put him there.

- Uh.

- Curtis, watch my couch.

- You trying to get our Lil' Jazzy?

- I'm--I'm not, man. I--

- ELLA: Curtis? - Hmm?

- A soft answer-- - Mm.

- ELLA: --turneth away wrath.

Curtis, stand up. - [heavy breathing]

You talking to me? - Yes.

You're the only Curtis here.

Curtis. Curtis, calm down.

Kaleb, what did you say to Jasmine?

- I can't hear this. I can't hear this, Ella.

- Curtis. - I can't do this, Ella.

I can't. I can't.

- Auntie, I told him I wasn't ready.

- You doggone right you ain't ready.

That's the right answer!

And that's the final answer!

And she won't be ready 'til she's 40!

- Okay.

- And then what did you say...Kaleb?

- Uh-- - He said...

"If you loved me, you would."

- Curtis! Please, Curtis, don't do it.

- He just won't stop. - Let me get him.

- CURTIS: It won't stop. - Let me get him, Curtis.

- I'm gonna kill him. - ELLA: Let me get him.

- I'm gonna kill him. - Let me get him.

- You kill first. I'll kill him second.

Boy. - Oooh-ooh!

- Okay, you think sex is-- - Uncle Curtis,

you need to calm down. You working up a sweat.

- CURTIS: [heavy breathing]

- This is not a good time for you to talk.

- I'll be quiet. I'll shut my mouth.

- Boy, you think sex is-- why are you getting

close to her! - Dang, man, I was just,

I don't know, you know, it's hot.

- You know what? You think sex is a game.

- Yes. - No, I don't think--

- You think sex is a game, son. - Yes, he does.

- No, I-- - Come on.

Come out to the backyard.

- I don't wanna go to the backyard.

- Come on. We just gonna talk, come on.

- We ain't gonna just-- - Yes, Curtis.

- Come on, I'm-- - Take him to the backyard.

- We ain't just gonna talk.

- I'm just gonna talk to him, baby.

- Yes, talk it. Talk. Talk to him.

- CURTIS: Uh.

Ella? - Yes, baby?

- Baby, I'm hungry. - Curtis, he's running!

Baby, he's running!

So...

Little Miss Jasmine.

- Is he pressuring you?

- Somewhat.

- Well, when Curtis finishes with him

in that backyard, I'm gonna talk to the both of you...

right here.

'Cause I don't like you being pressured.

How you feel?

- Terrible.

- Jasmine, does this boy understand that no

means no?

- Yes.

- Do you understand that no means no?

- Yes, I do.

- Baby, you don't let anybody pressure you.

You don't wanna do anything, you just say no.

And no means exactly that.

And anything more than that...

is rape.

You wait 'til he comes in here.

Oh, we gonna talk. - [sighs]

- If he lives.
