See what you gonna play on that.

That's what I thought.

Domino!

No, Cora. Give me a little bit, baby. Yes.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, okay, one more game.

No, no. No, I can't do that. That would be like abuse.

She pet me on my head.

You hate the play, you hate the game, baby.

Because it's rice and gravy time.

What the? What gravy?

Somebody jacked me for my rice and gravy.

Is that all?

Is that all?

I've been tasting that in my mind all day, Carter.

I couldn't wait till I got home to eat that rice and gravy. And now it's gone.

It's gone.

Don't get emotional.

Mr.

Brown, just calm down. I'll make you some more rice and gravy. Cora, that

the point. Well, what's the point? The point is there has been an injustice

around here. Well, should I make it or not?

Oh, yes, Cora. Yes.

Go ahead and make me some more.

Can you cut the onions and stuff up like that? Just sprinkle a little sugar in

there.

Brianna, why come?

Come here.

I'm going to find out who ate my rice and gravy.

Was it you, nephew?

No, no, it wasn't me.

What about you, Sasha? You eat my rice and gravy?

What you chewing?

What you chewing? Gum.

Gum, right.

Let me smell your breath.

Girl, you didn't... What the...

Did you eat my rice and gravy? You can tell your daddy the truth.

Don't you lie to me. Look me in my face when you're talking to me.

Don't turn away.

Look. Do you think I would lie to you? Cora, people have done strange things

Let me spare your breath.

I haven't had any.

You've been eating Twinkies.

What's going on?

I'm not going to sit here and accuse y 'all of nothing to y 'all's face.

But who ate my rice and gravy?

It wasn't me, Mr. Brown.

Rice and gravy.

Now obviously y 'all gonna sit here and lie to my face about who ate my rice and

gravy. And I don't appreciate y 'all sitting looking me right dead in my

So I'm not gonna sleep or rest until I get to the bottom of this.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go take a nap.

Look, my neighbor caught me stealing cable from her house, and she called the

police on me. But before they got there, her house burnt down to the ground.

Girl, that ain't nothing but guys.

I'm serious.

Excuse me. Oh, wait. Hold on, girl.

Uh -huh. I've been trying to get a prescription refill, and they keep

that my insurance is lapsed.

Yes, that's hospital policy. I know. I just, um, I've been meaning to take care

of it. It's, um... Well, you can't... Can't you just pay for the dollar, then?

Dilantin. Dilantin. Okay.

I have three kids and no money.

Please, is there something you could do?

I'm sorry.

Hey, girl, I'm back.

Mm -hmm.

I talked to her on that work.

Honest lady.

Excuse me.

Hold on.

I seem to have used up all my minutes. Could I use your phone? No, honey,

there's a pay phone down the hall. This phone is not for personal calls.

Hey, girl.

I just needed to call my children's aftercare.

Okay, okay, okay. Girl, let me call you back. Let me call you back.

I don't even have a quarter.

Come here.

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

It's going to be okay. Did you pray about it?

It's going to be okay. No, it's not.

baby, but first you need to calm down. Here, drink this. Drink this.

Here. Here, babe.

Drink it.

Is this water?

Yes, but I do have some stronger stuff in my purse if you want it.

But you can't tell them.

Thank you, but I can't have alcohol. I take Dilantin for seizures.

Really? Because my auntie takes it and it works good for her.

I know, but I can't afford it.

And I can't risk having a seizure while I'm driving.

Okay, you stressing me out.

Do you have...

But it's really just a data entry error.

Can you help her out?

Okay.

Thanks, Ray Ray.

I told you I'm going to hook you up.

All right.

So you just go down to the pharmacy, see Ray Ray, and he's going to hook you up.

Thank you so much.

Don't worry about it.

Don't mention it.

For real, don't mention it.

Ever.

That was a good movie, huh?

get to the bottom of this. Uh, Carl G, get in there.

Y 'all have a seat.

Sit down. What is it, Mr. Brown? I'm cooking.

Why are you wearing a turban?

Uh, this is to harness all of my power.

And it better not be one of my good tasks. Silence!

I need absolute silence so I can get to the bottom of whoever ate my rice and

gravy. What?

Are you still on that?

Yes, I'm still on that.

Okay, which one of y 'all want to be hepatitis first?

What do you know? about hypnosis?

Because I'm hypotic.

It sounds like you've been drinking it.

Yeah, hypnosis for idiots?

Hey, look, they put your name in the title.

Oh, yeah, you mean right there, huh? Yeah.

Oh.

Uh, Cora, you want to go first? No. Look at my eyes.

I don't feel like playing, Mr. Brown. Oh, Cora, you got something to hide?

What? Well, if you have something to hide, you let me know. No, I don't have

anything to hide.

Well, why you don't want to do it, then?

Come on, Miss Cora.

It'll be fun. Play along.

Okay, fine.

Okay, Carver, I want you to look in my eyes.

Close your eyes.

And look in my eyes.

How am I going to close my eyes and look into your eyes at the same time?

I thought it might be in here somewhere. Maybe it's supposed to keep going open.

What page is that on?

Did you even read that book?

Yeah, yeah, I read the first ten pages, and then I saw the rest with my mind.

Anyway, here, Cora, let's just go straight to this.

Okay, Cora, watch the watch.

The watch, Cora.

On the count of three, you will go into a deep transvestite state.

And then you will fall. Your eyes are getting heavy.

They're getting heavy, Cora.

You are falling to sleep.

You are going to sleep.

Okay?

Okay. Cora, if you're into a deep transvestite state, you can't say okay.

Okay. You will go to sleep.

You will tell the truth, nothing but the truth.

Are we clear?

Yes. Is your name Cora Simmons?

Yes. She knows who she is.

Did you eat my rice and gravy?

Yes. I knew it! I ought to unhypnotize you and spank your little butt. I knew

it. See, this stuff works. I knew you was the one. I knew it.

Let me try.

Do you think Mr. Brown is losing it? Yes.

Wait, are you having a hard time keeping a straight face?

Yes.

Y 'all think that's funny, don't you?

Yes.

Hey, sweetie.

Hey, babe.

Hey, Renee.

I figured since you came in late, you're going to stay late, right?

I didn't realize what time it is. I'm out of here. What's new?

All right, you're going to be here at 7 .30 tomorrow, right? I'll think about

it.

Okay, 8 .30.

Hey, you guys.

Oh,

Winnie, it's been too long.

Oh, how are those boys?

Oh, getting big, just like their daddy.

How you doing, Winnie? Good to see you. Do you guys know each other?

Yeah, Winnie used to work here.

Seems like so long ago.

And what have you been doing with yourself?

You know, I bounced around for a while until I got this gig with the nurse's

auditing board.

That sounds great.

Honey, how are your seizures?

You been okay?

Wait a minute. What seizures? When did you start having seizures? You two know

each other?

We met earlier.

The NAB conducts random stings at hospitals to ensure that proper

being followed and ethics are being met.

Okay, and how did we stack up?

Overall, we did really well.

But when I turn in this report to the NAB, unfortunately, Nurse Smith here

be terminated.

What do you mean terminated?

I mean, it's simple. She broke the rules.

Wait a minute. Hold up. I was helping you out.

You set me up. Okay, be that as it may, you knowingly falsified documents to

enable an uninsured patient to get prescription drugs. Not only is that

hospital rules.

It's illegal.

What'd she say?

Okay, listen.

Winnie, I'm sure there's a good explanation for what Renee did.

I mean, like when she took, uh, stole... Borrowed?

You're not helping.

Somebody paid you? Mm -hmm.

See, this is precisely why this hospital was on our radar.

Okay, Winnie, can I speak to you in private, please? You know what? It's

Sasha. It's cool. It's okay. Yeah.

I think we've talked enough. Yeah, I think we've talked enough, too. So you

ain't said nothing but a word. So what is up? Renee. What's up? No, Sasha,

what's up? Okay, so you want to add assault to your list of impressions? I

care. I'm getting fired anyway, right? So what's up? Would you let me talk to

her, please?

Please? Whatever, Sasha. Whatever.

Winnie, please, over here.

Look, Sasha, I know you mean well, but this has nothing to do with you.

Actually, Winnie, it does.

See, Renee is a friend of mine, just like you.

Don't use that.

We are nurses, and we have a duty to uphold. But we also have a duty to each

other.

Well, you know how messed up this system is, and you know how many people can't

afford health insurance.

Well, my health insurance is covered.

Oh, so that's what this is?

You forgot.

Winnie, I remember when you first started working here, you broke almost

rule in the book. Don't bring up the past, Sasha, okay? I have a job to do.

way I keep my health coverage is by doing my job.

And be sure to bring the pit bulls, too.

Yes, I'm serious.

You know, wait a few seconds.

It's like you really messed up this time.

Oh, these little cameras will catch everything.

Can you see me now?

Can you see me now?

Okay, where can I hide it? Right here.

No, they'll see it right there.

He just can't deceive me.

There we go.

There we go.

That's shopping. Warm me up.

No, Miss Cora, my feet hurt, too.

Nothing that a little ice cream won't cure.

Whoa, you put ice cream on your feet?

No.

It's just an expression. Never mind. I just bought some more for a rainy day.

Cora, it's not raining outside. Well, I'm sure it's raining somewhere,

sweetheart.

Ice cream!

You didn't, Mr. Brown. I didn't what?

You ate my ice cream.

Corey, ain't nobody ate my ice cream.

Don't play dumb.

I'm not playing.

Well, I know that.

Corey, you better grouse or spank you. Mr. Corey, he's probably saying that

because he thinks you ate his rice and gravy.

Well, if I didn't, you probably did.

No, I don't have a reason to lie, thank you.

Since when have you ever needed a reason to lie?

Well, don't change the subject, thief.

Hey, it takes one to know one. And you ain't going to get my ice cream like

that. You listen. Step off of your little secret. You the one over there.

Now what are you guys arguing about?

He ate my ice cream.

Personally, I think Brianna did it.

What? Why would you say that?

Well, you lie about everything else.

You just want to take the suspicion off of you.

You ate the rice and gravy, didn't you? No, you didn't. Admit it, you ate it. I

know you did. Well,

all I know is what's done in the dark will come to the light. Well, all I

if you turn on the lights, it won't be in the dark.

Uh -huh.

Renee, you okay?

Is somebody that's about to be unemployed again?

Well, I wish there was something we could do.

You can give me that cute doctor's phone number.

I'm going to need a sponsor.

Anything but that.

Barry, can I talk to her alone, please?

Sure.

Sasha,

I'm sorry.

I know you're disappointed, but I...

I really didn't think that I was doing anything wrong. I thought I was helping.

I know. And it wasn't a scam or anything.

You know?

Yeah, I believe you, Renee.

But the point is that you broke the rules and put both of our jobs in

But you didn't do nothing.

But you did.

So that means that NAB can take your nurse's license and find this hospital.

I didn't think about that.

You know what? She was so convincing. She was with the crying and the tears

didn't have a quarter.

You know what? So now what am I going to do?

Girl, I guess you're going to have to find another job.

Renee, I don't know, okay? We're going to figure it out.

We?

So you're not mad?

I'm disappointed.

Because you won't be around.

are you doing here?

I don't want you to think that this is personal. I'm just doing my job. That is

not personal.

You're trying to ruin my career.

So I'm not going to have any money, I get kicked out of the house, live on the

streets, get addicted to crack, do something strange to change. Okay,

You know what, Winnie, you don't have to turn in that report.

Yes, I do.

No, you don't.

You know, I remember when we were young nurses working in the ER.

Don't go there.

You know, Renee, I think you might want to listen to this, right?

So anyway, it was a pileup on I -85.

It was one emergency surgery after another. We were going from room to

suturing patients, and there was this one patient. I think her name was... You

remember Mrs. Walker?

Who's Mrs. Walker?

She was a patient that night who ended up suing the hospital because someone

left a sponge inside of her that became toxic.

Do you really want to threaten me with this?

I mean, because you'd have to implicate yourself.

You willing to do that for her?

Yes.

I am.

Well, then you leave me no choice.

I'll let you off with a warning this time.

And, Sasha, this only works once.

Once is all I need.

Everybody, come down here now.

Hurry up.

What is it, Mr. Brown?

You called it? Yes, I rang.

What up? We were busy.

I hope y 'all weren't up there being nasty.

I wish.

Was that our mom?

Okay, so what is it now, Mr. Brown?

Well, I wanted everybody to sit down.

And watch the drama unfold.

Did you make coolie pie again?

No, but what I did do is this right here. You ate pie.

No, I didn't eat pie, but somebody did.

Wait, hold on. Y 'all had pie?

What I did was I put a hidden camera in the kitchen last night.

You did what?

Yes, I did.

Now we can finally see who the real refrigerator thief is.

Y 'all want to see it? If you want to see it, say ow.

Yes, I want to see it too, Carl.

I haven't watched it, so here's the raw footage.

Kick that beat.

Oh, nephew, I'm surprised at you.

What? I didn't eat any pie.

See?

Told you.

Come on, Mr. Brownface.

Okay, okay, here we go, here we go.

Action. Action on one. Camera one, action.

Ate the ice cream.

I didn't know you had proof.

Let's see what else is done in the dark with the lights off.

Oh, I'm just going to get an apple.

We can fast forward through this.

He probably the one.

That's my boy.

Yes, now you need to wash your hands. I told you to fast forward.

Ah, do we got to ask? No, wait a minute.

You must have been sleepwalking. Or sleep eating.

What am I doing?

Now what do you have to say for yourself?

What I have to say is I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner.

Them moves is dope. Look at him.

Look at him.

Yes! Y 'all want to watch it again? We're going to watch it in slow -mo this

time. Come on, everybody. I'm out of here.

Y 'all can watch this movie.

Hey, Mr.

Brown. Hey, Cora.

What are you doing?

What it look like? I'm marking all my stuff so people won't take it.

Why? You're the only one taking stuff.

Cora, that's this time.

I'm doing this just in case people get confused about what's really mine.

Oh. I love you.

All right.

That's mine.

There you go. Bam. Have you lost your mind? You're going crazy, Mr. Brown.

nobody going crazy. I just know what's mine.

Corey,

Well, at least half mine. The ugly half is your mama's.
