This is my favorite part when she click her heels three times.

Hey, Carl.

Oh, I forgot. Old Boo -Boo here hibernating, ain't he?

Treat that to me first. I left something on the floor. Can you get it? Okay, I

got it, Carl. I got it. You go on and take care of this.

I got it.

I'm trying to improve your quality of life. Mr. Brown, it was so rude.

It's also a felony.

Well, he wouldn't have gotten nowhere near you if you wasn't asleep.

I wasn't sleeping.

I was just watching the holes in my eyelids.

Like them holes in that lie.

Anyway, while you're over here sleeping, you got a house.

Go home.

Mr. Brown, it's about date night. He was over here watching my favorite movie

with me.

What kind of grown man would sit up watching flying monkeys and witches?

I walk to see that and I go over to Edna's house.

Oh, Mr. Brown, you don't appreciate the class.

Well, it don't look like Reggie Van Winkle here appreciate it either. You

have to put up with this. It's other fish in the barrel.

Leave him alone, Mr. Brown. Well, I'm just saying.

Ain't nobody falling asleep on me.

Ain't nobody fell asleep on you since Madea.

Okay, so you ain't got to bring up my tragic past.

You ain't got to do that.

Oh, Mr. Brown, Reggie worked hard, and he cares for me, and he thinks only of

me. Amanda!

Come here, girl.

Oh, sounds like he's thinking about you and somebody else.

You know what? I don't like you involved in this kinky stuff. We don't, uh -uh,

we don't believe in that. Here, Carl, do what you must.

Do it, do it. Get up! Oh, I'm sleeping!

What,

who?

Yeah, with who, player? Who you sleeping with?

Ed, get out!

what i'm not wanting if you'd have known that you wouldn't have stopped by in

the first place

to write you up.

You're so tense.

Pudding?

Now you listen to me.

I am getting sick and tired of following up on you and treating you like a

child. Okay, I understand.

Maybe you should put in for a transfer.

One more screw -up, Renee, and I'm gonna have you terminated.

Okay, you know what? Hold up. Why are you tripping on me?

You acting like I was kissing somebody while I was... was married.

Renee, focus and do your job.

Was that Sasha?

Yeah. Do you want me to go get her?

It's my job.

And when did you start doing this?

Exactly. That's what I was trying to explain to her.

Listen, we're prepping Mr. Goddard for his liver transplant, so let us know

he gets here, okay?

Because it's a hospital, Renee.

That's what we do.

All right? If you're not prepared to do your job... I got it, I got it, I got

it. Okay.

Oh, and, uh... Why don't you, uh... Hit me with one of them chocolates real

quick.

You got butterscotch or something?

Don't look, don't look.

I have an organ for you.

Oh, you don't know how many times I've heard that.

Pick up my check. Okay.

Yeah, Big Baby told me to get them to you.

What? That's what I said. What?

And he actually paid for them, I think.

It's a card. It's a card. Roses are red. I love on the skin.

I really feel sorry if I knew what I did.

I ain't got to explain nothing to him. He ain't even worth it.

I want him to just tell me why he did what he did.

I just want to know what I did.

Mr. Brand, you was there the other night. Help me out.

Okay, I'm going to help you out. You know what?

Ain't no need of living in the past. Let it go.

You had a good run.

You fight the fall.

Now, you know what?

You ain't getting nothing. Getting nothing what?

Okay, fine, Cora.

You don't want to forgive me?

I'm just going to have to call in.

That's what you usually do.

What's the damn emergency?

Hi, Ms. Brooks.

Yeah, uh -huh. How yourself?

I knew I smelled something. I knew my sinuses was running, man.

That's coming from you. That's the stench of ignorance and failure.

it was a matter of life and death.

So I got some breakfast, took a nap, and got here as soon as I could.

Why are you all covered in black gook anyway? You've been shoveling coal in

again, ain't you?

Your shit starts at four o 'clock, you little wart.

Can we hurry this up?

I don't like being around chalk.

That's how they got George Washington Carver.

What year is it where you live?

Mama, Cora's still not speaking to me.

Who cares?

Cora and I might break up.

Again?

You think we'll break up more than my hearing aid reception.

Mama, please.

All right.

Mama will fix it.

Get out and take a kaleidoscope with you.

I'm going to look up kaleidoscope on my way to the hospital.

Cora, I'm going on to work at the hospital.

No use talking, Miss Thelma.

He said another woman's name in his sleep, didn't he?

How'd you know?

Just like his daddy.

The next day, he ran off to live with Lena Horne.

Oh, my goodness, I had no idea.

Neither did Lena.

She had him arrested for stalking.

That's how they got O .J.

I think Reggie's stepping out on me.

I doubt that.

There's no way that boy can get two women to be interested in him.

I don't date two -timers.

Okay.

Nurse's station.

Yes, please hold.

Nurse's station.

Yes, Dr.

Clark is in radiology. I'll tell him you called. Thank you.

Nurse's station, please hold.

I'm getting pictures of you doing your job.

Since when did you start working?

That's what I was trying to explain to her.

Hey, Renee.

What? Are you re -upped on the tapioca?

I am out of that business.

Got shut down by the man.

You got the trash back there? No, I already got it all together. It's all

over there. Oh, okay, good, good, good.

Nurse's station.

Oh, you sure y 'all had no pudding?

Okay.

How about some popcorn? Come here.

Yes, I did. I called about the pre -op lab work for Mr. Hill.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yes, I'm still here. The pre -op lab work for Mr.

Hill.

a nice picture of me, I'm going to cut your face.

Hey.

Oh, hey, Miss Brooks. I didn't hear the bell ring.

That's because I didn't ring it.

Look, my son is over there sobbing like a woman.

Normally, I can ignore his cries for help, but I'm out of ripple.

Well, can I get you something to drink? Oh, no, I'm driving.

I just have a beer.

We don't have alcohol in this house, Miss Brooks.

No alcohol?

No. So this is what hell looks like.

Look, if you call her to plead Reggie's case, don't waste your time. I don't

date cheaters.

Then you'll be a lonely woman.

I know Reggie is a bus -riding gym teacher who makes less than the ice

man living with his mama.

But deep down inside,

I just want him to get out the house.

I think I can do that, Miss Brooks.

I'll give you $20 and three transfers.

No, thank you. Keep your money.

You may want to offer it to Amanda since that's the one he's talking about in

his sleep.

Must be love.

Oh, Amanda?

Oh, you know her?

Oh, yeah.

That's my heart.

She used to bring me stuff.

She do everything that I tell her. She don't never talk back.

That was Reggie's best friend.

Well, I don't think I can compete with that.

You can't.

That's what I've been telling Reggie.

Y 'all stop honking that horn.

I said I'm coming.

I got to finish my route.

Where have you been?

I've been looking all over for you. Oh, good. You get some more tapioca?

I need the liver.

Liver pudding? Now, that's nasty. No!

The liver, it was in the container, and you took it.

No, I took the trash. It was by the trash.

Well, why would you put a liver in the trash?

You know what, Karina? Uh -oh. You better help me find this liver, or I'm

to reach down your throat and take yours out.

That doesn't mean you'll handle no tapioca.

You can win down two. You don't have no strawberry with you? You know what?

Okay, I'll help you find it. You don't have to get violent.

Okay, good.

Where did you put the trash?

Duh, in the trash.

Okay, you know what? This is my fault.

I mean, how can I expect you to help me find the liver when you don't even have

a brain?

Okay, you know what? That's just... Just find the liver.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Where's the liver? Yeah, Renee, where is it?

Funny thing about livers.

Well,

there's nothing funny about it.

There's a man whose life depends on it.

Yeah, there's a man whose life... I was thinking that same thing. What do you

have to do with this?

Me?

Well, I... It was a man came in here and said he was pushing... He

was pushing at the liver.

He was going to deliver, deliver.

That's what he told me. And some chicken gizzards. And all the stuff that came

with it.

Huh?

Oh, here we come. Come on, Brown. They call it that.

Who's calling us? They're calling us. Trust me. I trust you. When you're here

bar, just say, hey, hey.

me what you making memories look for is that me

in the blender why are you putting pictures of me in the blender because

can't fit look he needs to talk don't you talk enough in your

sleep what are you talking about the other night when we were supposed to be

watching my favorite movie you was dreaming about your favorite girl but

my favorite girl that's not what you think the other night? Will you please

me what I said the other night?

Oh, Amanda.

Come here, girl.

Come here. So who's Amanda?

She was my best friend.

So your mother wasn't lying?

No.

Mama loved her some Amanda.

And apparently you do, too.

Oh, yeah.

I used to love rubbing her belly.

You don't rub my belly.

Brushing her long hair.

The sweetest kisses.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Enough is enough.

Until she ran away.

So you're going to admit it. You're going to admit that. That's right.

was my dog, and she ran away when I was 12.

So why was you calling her name in your sleep?

We was watching The Wizard of Oz, and Amanda looked just like Toto.

And you expect me to believe that?

Yes, I do.

Have I ever lied to you before?

And I'm not now.

Well, I guess I did jump to conclusions.

Yeah, I guess so.

I'm sorry. Sometimes I let my imagination get the better of me.

Well, next time, just say something, baby.

I mean, all this could have been taken care of if you would have just said

something.

Okay. Well, next time, I'll say what's on my mind.

Good.

What had happened was, Sasha, okay, I lost it. I can't lie.

But you look so cute in that dress. You look hot.

We should just sew them back up and tell them we fixed it.

But you know what?

I lost it.

What you going to do? What you going to do? What you going to do?

Hey, hey.

So, come on. I don't want to hear anything unless you found my liver.

Oh, you need some help? Here, here you go.

Back this all up.

So where's that liver, Renee?

The doctors are waiting in the operating room.

I'm not going to even lie.

Brown lost it. You were lying.

Yes, you did. You were lying. Yes, you did. You were lying. Renee, what do you

expect me to tell Will?

About what?

Well, Renee lost the liver. Now you can put another notch on your killing belt.

Brown, that's very funny, but Renee didn't lose the liver.

Yes, I did.

I always lose everything.

That's the one thing that I'm really good at, is losing stuff and messing up.

Renee,

stop tripping, okay?

We finished the transplant a little while ago. Mr. Goddard will be fine.

How'd you get the liver?

Sasha brought it in.

I found it on Mr. Brown's janitor's cart.

You know what, Sasha?

You should fill out those transfer papers. How are you going to have me

here thinking that I lost something stressing me out? You know that stress

causes bumps. That's why I got to those spots. And then I have to go to the acne

doctor and spend all that money. And insurance here ain't even that good.

Because I wanted you to realize how serious this was. How serious this was.

You know, being a nurse is a very critical job. A very critical job.

with a case.

You know, there are people's lives that are at stake. There are people that

really like steak.

You can't go around here being this irresponsible. You can't go around here

being responsible.

I guess this means I'm fired.

And you should be.

But you're not. What?

Why are you not going to fire? She had me running around looking for people's

livers and innards. You should fire her. Fire her.

It's around.

Renee,

consider this a warning.

Sue to yourself warned.

From now on, I need you to be more responsible.

Responsible.

But since I'm not fired, can I get a raise?

No!

Can I get a raise?

No.

Let this be a lesson to you. You young people need lessons to learn.

Well, I guess I should say thank you.

Thank you. You're welcome. So if you ever need anything from me...

Girl, I don't nobody need nothing from you. You ain't got no tapioca. You ain't

got no pudding or no nut like that. You worthless.

What? Why you just walk in this house?

Because that's what I do.

Woman, do you ever knock?

No. What if I was laying up in there butt naked?

I'd point and laugh and then maybe throw up a little.

What you here for anyway? Ain't the dog show at the Civic Center?

I came to pick up Reggie. Well, Reggie ain't here.

Do you think he's going to realize you got a 1947? You ought to be a son of a

gun. You're looking like you rolled into a box of crayons.
