One chicken noodle soup for the sick.

I even had them put an extra chicken just the way my baby likes it.

Thank you, baby.

Okay, you got your hot soup, you got your blanket, your tissue.

Anything else?

No, I don't think so.

But thank you so much for staying here to take care of me. Oh, baby, I'm so

I could be here to take care of you too. Atchoo!

You know what? I think it's time for my taekwondo class.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're leaving?

You can't leave. I'm sick.

Baby, you got a cold, not the swine flu.

Can you at least get me the cough syrup from the other room before you leave me

for dead?

Sure.

I'll be right back.

Okay. Oh, you probably got it, too.

Oh,

nephew. You're going to fool around and cough up a lung.

Uncle Brown, my head feels like a beach ball.

Nephew, your head look like a beach ball.

Your head is so big, every time I look at you, I want to play, but I just want

to go like this.

Sit. Sit.

Oh,

guess who it's right.

Stop cussing in here. This is a Christian house. No cussing. Mr. Brown,

just blessing Will.

Why don't you bless us both by leaving?

You know what I was going to do? I'm going to go have tea with Edna and the

Colonel. How about you stay for tea, lunch, dinner, and brunch tomorrow?

It'll be one less mouth to feed.

Mr. Grant, it looks to me like you've been eating enough for all of us.

Okay, my baby, I got you that non -drowsy porno so you can watch your

Now, is there anything else you need?

Because I'm about to leave.

Do you really have to go to Taekwondo?

What did Taekwondo do now?

Mr. Brown, it's called Taekwondo.

It's a class.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the little Taekwon. No, not Taekwon.

Taekwondo. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's cool.

Well, sweetie, can you hurry up?

I might not hang on until you get back.

Oh, stop acting like a little old girl.

Vera?

Will?

Mom?

Oh, Lord!

You get rid of one pesky German, here come another. Now, you straight up stop

my direction one more time. It's going to be me and you.

Y 'all got anything to drink in this house?

It's a Christian house. We don't drink.

Oh, Christian, huh?

Oh,

how's my baby doing?

I'm not feeling too good.

Oh, honey.

It's okay, Sasha. You can leave.

Where's she going?

Oh, it's all right, honey.

Mama's here now.

Well, it's all right, baby, because Sasha ain't going nowhere. Come here, my

baby.

Oh, this is great. My two favorite ladies.

I feel like I'm in heaven.

That's odd, because at least one person in this room came straight from hell.

You're just mad because I...

Are you sure I can't help?

Well, I don't suppose you know what Cora keeps for cooking wine.

Oh, of course I do.

Oh, well, I didn't know you needed cooking wine to make chicken soup.

You don't.

This being a Christian household.

Mmm!

Woo!

June!

A great year for wine.

I know.

What's that you said? Nothing.

Nothing at all. I just am upset that I missed my workout today.

You know, it's none of my business, but isn't all that hard working out

something you want to do after you have kids?

You're right, Vera.

That is none of your business.

Well, I do have kids, Brianna and Joaquin.

Child, those aren't your kids.

You're leasing them with an option to buy.

Bill and I love those kids, and that's why we're going to adopt them.

Sounds like somebody's trying to watch their figure.

You need to conceive the way I did. What, in the back of a cab?

With an Al Camino?

Okay, we know what we're doing. I'm a grown woman, okay?

You two done started it already?

Well, she started it. You sound like a kid. She started it. She started it.

You're so immature.

You're so immature. You see my cup with the little brown bear on it?

Oh, there it is! Look at that.

I smell something good. What is that?

You know what? I can't say I missed you much, Vera, but I missed your cooking.

Sasha, Vera cooked so good, it'll make you want to slap your mama. Really? Yes.

Oh, but we need to hurry up and feed some of that stuff to Will.

I don't think that little girl likes me.

That's because she knows you.

I don't either.

Just a couple of days.

I'm going on a cruise to Cancun.

You can't go to no Cancun. You owe me money, and I want my money.

Why didn't I tell you to stop asking me for all that money? Now, how about you

just let me hit you the next time? You said that the last time and the last

time. This time, I mean it.

I was drunk the last time.

You be drunk all the time. Now, I want my money. You know, I'm sick and tired

you talking to me drunk.

I'm sick and tired.

Just like Mama used to make.

Brown, you stick that spoon back in that pot. It's going to be me and you. Now,

don't get away from that pot. Vera, you better stop running up on me like that.

You was almost a victim of my cat -like reflex.

Look at my little cat -like reflex.

What are you talking about? Oh,

speaking of cat, look what they drug in. A bat.

I'd like to drag you by your hair somewhere, but obviously that's not

happen.

What's that smell so good?

It's Mama's homemade soup.

I'm making it for Will. He's not feeling so well. Oh, you must be ill.

Uh -huh.

Um, Ed, you have my sympathy.

Sympathy? Well, he's not feeling that bad.

Well, it must have been pretty hard growing up with that fool. I know it

have been a traumatic experience.

It was traumatic.

Not as traumatic as the colonel waking up to look at your face every morning.

Hey, Colonel, here, take this garlic and make a necklace.

Edna'll still be ugly, but she won't bite your neck. She like glue.

Cut it out, Brown.

My Edna is a vision of loveliness.

From over here, Edna is a vision of ugliness. Dude look like a lady.

Listen,

we came by to see if Daisy wanted to check out a movie with us.

Well, you should have asked her that when she was over at your place.

They came by our place.

She been gone for hours. I know she was gone because the house stopped smelling

like liniment and cheese.

You didn't worry.

Y 'all talking about the old white lady?

Yeah. Well, I wouldn't worry too much about her.

Why not?

Old white ladies are always found safe.

When's the last time you saw a picture of an old white lady on the back of a

milk carton?

Here, you can afford milk.

You need to pay me my money. You're buying expensive stuff. You can pay me.

You get that money.

Now, quit.

Something isn't right. Something isn't right. I mean, Daisy's been forgetful,

mean, and just generally just not making any sense. Yeah, you're right. I

thought you said she hadn't been a thief. That's normal.

Well,

don't worry. She probably had running errands with Cora. She'll be all right.

Hey, everybody.

Hey, Cora. Hey, listen. Is Daisy with you? Oh, no. I haven't seen her.

Now I'm getting worried.

Oh, you like that soup Mama made for you, baby? Mama, I sure do.

You sure know your way around the kitchen.

If you could just find your way out this house.

What's that you said?

Nothing.

Hey, baby, look, it's time for your medication. Let me see that, let me see

that, let me see that.

may become lightheaded and cause a sense of euphoria.

Oh, no, baby, he don't need this. This will have him seeing double.

And seeing double or brown will give him a setback.

Now, what he needs is Mama's special sack.

Special sack.

There you go. Vera, what is in that?

It's an old family secret.

Oh, they should have kept it a secret from you.

What's that thing going to do?

It's called a vaporizer.

It'll open those nasal passages. Well, that's if you want to wait two weeks.

What it needs is this hot towel.

Woof!

How's a hot towel going to help, Will? Oh, honey, this is soaked in

eucalyptus, and turpentine.

Look, Ma, isn't turpentine flammable? Oh, honey, this is 100 proof.

You want to breathe.

Or not.

Now, wait, baby.

You are a trained medical professional.

You know you need modern medical care?

Oh, honey, I'm a trained professional, too.

Aunt Renee and Peaches and them used to use these old home remedies for years.

Now, baby, look.

You need to drink that for your cough.

Now, you need to drink this.

A hot toddy.

What's in this again, ma? Oh, eucalyptus, olive ear, cayenne, ginger,

and a little honey, honey.

Baby, look.

This has all the cold therapy medicine you need for your immune system.

Mine's got whiskey in it.

You got a his?

You want me to adjust this pillow?

Sure, dear.

What you doing? What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

You gonna choose your mama over me?

Thanks, mama.

That be true, mama. You really put your foot up in it, mama.

You know what, boy? I should put my foot all up in your ass. Hey, hey.

Sasha, that's my mother. She's just trying to help.

Yeah, if you spent a little more time with your husband, he wouldn't need his

mama. Okay, you know what, Vera? I have had enough of your insults. Will, you

need to get your mama. No, you better get your wife. Okay, you know what,

You came up in here and this is my husband.

I know that's your son, but this is my husband.

That's just the way it is.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. I know you didn't just tell your mama to shut up.

It's about time.

Hey, you shut up.

Look, the two of y 'all can't keep pulling on me, trying to make me choose

over the other.

Well, I don't care who you choose, as long as it's me.

Mom, Sasha is my wife now.

And Sasha, this is my mother. All I did was give you life.

That's all I did was give you life, and it took 14 hours to do that.

Oh, God, I remember.

I would drink.

Listen, even the Bible says when a man gets married, he leaves his mother and

clings to his wife.

That's what I'm saying.

That's what he's done, Vera.

And you, this is my mother.

Show her some respect. And show some respect for each other.

Matter of fact, until you do, I'm not talking to either one of you.

Detective? See, I'm something like a detective.

Mr. Brown, you don't know anything about detective work.

Uh -huh, right there.

Cora, ain't that the thing I gave you for your job?

Ain't that the show I gave you for your teacher job? I don't know. I don't think

so. Okay, well, why does it have your name on it?

Coincidence. There ain't no coincidence. You didn't like it. Any word yet?

Oh, no, we haven't heard anything, Colonel, no.

Well, Edna's at the house just in case Daisy shows up.

I'm really getting worried now, Mr. Brown. Corby, don't worry. It's going to

all right.

What if she's out there hurt or something, Mr. Brown? Well, we got to

closer eye on her. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You remember this happened

before. You remember she was reading a newspaper in her underwear?

What's wrong with that? I do that all the time.

She was at a newsstand, Mr. Brown.

Corby, look, don't worry. I'm telling you, don't let this rattle your faith.

Lord know what he's doing, so let him do it.

I know.

You're right, Mr. Brown.

This is Edna.

Are you sure?

Wait, wait, wait. Okay, wait a minute. Hold it. Just calm down.

All right, I'll be right there.

What happened? What happened, Colonel?

What is it? There's been a hit and run reported, and the victim matches Daisy's

description.

I think we both got a little carried away. I accept your apology.

Oh, I ain't apologizing, okay? This is all your fault. My fault? Yes.

You come in here trying to run things, and Will and I would do it just fine

without you.

Well, if you were doing just fine without me, why is my son walking around

pneumonia?

Vera, stop being dramatic.

He has a cold, and I was taking care of him.

Not very well.

Vera, what did I do to make you hate me?

Now who's being dramatic?

I don't hate you, Sasha.

I just don't appreciate you putting your career ahead of my son.

Vera, that's not true.

Really?

Then where are my grandchildren?

Brianna is at a friend's house, and Joaquin is... At a friend's house? This

late?

When Will was coming up, he had to be in the house before the streetlights came

on.

I'm talking about a baby here, Sasha.

My grandbaby.

Vera, Will and I will make that decision in our own time.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Well, I guess we will.

I want it better for him.

Better than me?

Better than me.

When Will was growing up, I worked two jobs.

I hope that when he got married, he'd finally have somebody to take care of

the way I should have.

Vera, why did you just tell me that instead of making my life miserable?

Because I didn't want to admit it.

I love Will.

I want the back for him.

And so do I, Vera.

Look, Will and I are a team, and I would do anything for him.

Then give him a baby.

One day, maybe.

But Will and I will do that when we are ready.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

Ah!

So when should I start planning the baby shower?

Don't you wish me, Vera.

He looked everywhere. Everywhere.

Yeah. Well, look, I just spoke with Miss Daisy's cousin and... She said it

hadn't talked in years, but she's looking to reconnect. She told me she

have any relatives.

Yeah, she told me she was a unicorn.

Listen, somebody write it, I'm telling you. All we can do now is pray. Yeah.

Pray?

You? I pray when the occasion is suited, and I would say this is one of those

times. Okay, who are you praying to?

I tell you what, let's let her pray. You're going to lead us in prayer, and

come on.

Mr. Brown. No, I want to see a prayer. I want to see this guy.

Come on, Mr. Brown. Bow your head. I know what to do. Okay, well, let's see

do it.

All right. It's Edna, Lord.

Heavenly Father. Yes, Father.

We thank you for keeping our Daisy from harm and giving her the strength and the

wisdom to avoid all pitfalls. And pitfalls. And booze.

Mr. Brown, please.

And wherever she is, Lord. Yes, Lord.

I want you to let her know that she is missed.

And truly loved. Truly loved.

In the name of Jesus.

Amen. Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Oh, Miss Daisy. Miss Daisy. Are you okay?

I don't know. What happened?

Are you hurt? I know. I think I'm fine. What happened to you, Miss Daisy?

I just, I forgot where I lived.

What is happening to me? Oh, you're fine, Miss Daisy. You're fine.

No, I'm not. fine. People who are fine do not forget where they live.

Oh, yes, they do. I forget where I live all the time. I am scared.

There's no reason to be scared.

We're all here for you.

Miss Daisy, do you remember your cousin Lorraine?

Oh, yes. Lorraine, is she all right? I haven't talked to her in a long time.

She's fine. She wants to come and visit with you.

Oh, I'd like that.

In the meantime, since everyone is so busy around here, we've been thinking

about you coming to stay with Etna and I.

Oh, no, I would never. That's too much trouble. Daisy, Daisy, please.

I don't need that. You'd be great company when the colonel is down at the

Wait, wait.

Daisy, if you leave, who am I going to insult?

I tell you what, I just double up on Nappy Guillemot here.

Brown people, you shut up thick clock.

I am so lucky to have you people.

What? You people.

Brown people.

Okay. Brown people.

Remember when me and Brown used to read bedtime stories to you? Yeah, those were

the good old times.

I read Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Now, he used to like it when I would read him the one, and this little piggy

went wee, wee, wee.

Goldilocks was the one on the way to our grandmama's house, wasn't she? No, no.

She was huffing and puffing and blew the thing.

in that story. That's how much you know. Look here, fool. You see the one that

drank herself to death and slept for a hundred years. Well, why don't you drink

yourself to death and fall asleep for a hundred years?
