You can't buck me. You can't buck me.

And my feet ain't gonna touch the ground.

Oh, whoa, girl.

Whoa, Colonel. Whoa, boy. Whoa.

Colonel, your bat spooked my horse. Down, boy. Down.

Aren't you a little old to be playing cowboy, Wyatt Twerp?

Oh, Colonel, you taught it to speak.

Can it play dead?

Shut up, Brown.

Here's your butter I borrowed.

What are you doing, Brown?

I'm practicing for the annual church rodeo. That's tonight?

Yes. Damn! Oh,

this year Sister Jenkins going down. What are you two talking about?

Last year, Sister Jenkins outlasted him on the mechanical bull. Yeah, she hung

on for about 20 minutes.

Yeah, that's because a wheel got caught in the horns.

Oh, I see.

So that's to bring us closer to God, huh?

Yes, you should have heard Sister Jigga. Help me, Lord!

Help me, Jesus!

Help me, Lord!

So is Cora going, oh, yes, she wouldn't miss it. You know, me and Cora was line

dance champions.

No.

You dressed in western, dancing country?

I have you to know, I can't beat country.

You just used to my sophisticated side.

Cora, to make you feel good and warm inside. Let's do it.

Angie, not till after we're married.

No, no, no, I can't wait.

It's your first time. It can't possibly be that good.

Oh, I've been practicing.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, come on, Cora, please.

Just let me give you a little taste.

Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait. Okay, okay, let's do it tonight.

Before I change my mind. Oh.

Oh.

Great. I'm going to cook you a meal so good, you're going to want to slap your

daddy.

You mean slap your mama, don't you? No, I mean slap your daddy hard. Wait a

minute.

Reggie.

What do you want me to do? I just want you to do one thing.

What is that? Take you to the store.

Bring your appetite.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Like that?

Um, but could you make that two things?

What? I do need to ride this, though.

Oh, come on.

My kitchen!

What are you making?

What's it look like I'm making?

A mess!

Is this edible?

No, Cor, that's chicken.

Edible's not in season right now, Cor.

Reggie, edible means sugar. I know, I know. Just joking. Get out. Okay, okay.

Well, just yell if you need anything, okay?

All right. I could use some sugar.

Oh, some sugar. Okay, it's right up here on the right.

You know that's not what I meant.

Oh, you mean sugar.

Yeah.

Excuse me, partner.

There's not enough room in this kitchen for the two of us.

Uh, that's because you're wearing that big old hat.

Excuse me, Cora, why is your daddy dressed like not -so -slim pickings?

If you don't be careful, you're going to be picking your lips up off this float.

Mr. Brown, what are you doing?

Cora, I'm dressed for the annual church rodeo. You going?

Oh, is that tonight?

Yes. Oh, I forgot. Oh, I forgot. I promised you, Mr. Brown, but I told

could cook me dinner tonight. Yeah, I'm making our favorites.

Duck for me and for Cora, more than chicken.

Well, why don't we make my favorite?

Smothered Reggie.

Mr. Brown!

You make me mess up my food.

Mr. Brown, you're going to have to go without me.

But, Cora, you love the rodeo.

No, you love the rodeo. I get a headache just thinking about Sister Jigga

hopping around on that horse. Oh, that's it, Lord, that's it. What is all of

that?

But, Cora, who's going to dance with me? What?

I'm sorry, Mr. Brown. Oh, my, my, Lord.

I know why they call these things chaps.

Brown, you got in the baby powder?

Cora, you're not going to leave me with chappy white, are you?

I'm staying with Reggie.

Hey, Cora, dinner's almost ready.

I just got to make one more thing.

What's that?

A run to the grocery store. Can somebody give me a ride?

You got to be kidding me.

No. I mean, I do have a token. I mean, I can take the bus, and then all the

food's going to burn up, and it's going to be nasty.

Mr. Brown, can you wash the food till we get back, please? Carl, we can still

have smothered Reggie. No!

Well,

Brown, I guess you can kiss that dance over goodbye.

Yeah. You know, Carl would go with me if I can get rid of old Reggie. Well, how

you gonna get him to go?

Get him to go?

Yeah. That's it, Colonel. You a genius.

I'm gonna get him to go, and then Carl will come with me.

Now, what are you babbling about?

Right here.

Laxative? Now, Brown, how is a laxative going to... Brown, you wouldn't.

Where's the duck? Yes, I would.

Yes, I would. I always fight and love and line dance.

Well, he should have a use so much.

Yeah, Colonel, he's a big boy. It's going to take a lot to get him to move.

Right. And I ain't got all day.

Hey, can I play cowboys with you guys?

No.

It's part of grown folk business. Can't you see we grown?

You really want me to answer that?

Ron, I just hope you know what you're doing.

I do.

Colonel, I tell you what. Go get Edna saddled up and meet me back here.

Go get her right now.

You want to watch cartoons with me?

Now, Wacombe, do you think I would be sitting around doing something so

childish? I'm an adult.

I'm grown.

Now, excuse me while I go find my water gun.

I can't believe it.

How could I be so stupid?

Oh, I know this one. I know. I know. Can I answer this one? Please? I got this.

Bryant. There he is.

What? Did someone finally tell her that polyester isn't a real person?

She isn't?

hike so i did and when i got to the bottom of the mountain

I'll get you some tissue, okay? Okay.

How about you just try to be nice?

Or at least human.

I don't understand it. Why does this always happen to me?

That's easy.

It's just because you're so stupid.

this into a gospel play here.

Okay, let's go first. Come on. You just need to find a guy who understands how,

uh, special you are. You think I'm special?

Oh, hey, you're plenty special.

Thanks. Okay.

And you're kind of pretty, too.

You'll find someone.

You'll see.

Boys your age are immature.

Just be comfortable with who you are and don't let them run all over you. You

make it sound so simple.

How'd you get to be so wise?

I read essence.

Hey, is he bugging you?

No. Brianna, you know your brother's actually pretty cool.

Him?

Did you hit your head on that hike of yours?

No. Well, yeah, but...

My brother.

Okay, you know what? I think it's time for us to go because you need some air.

Joaquin, you want to come? Sure. What?

No way. My little brother's not coming with us.

Bye, Bryant. Let's go.

Sorry, Joaquin.

You know, if you were older, I would make you my boyfriend in a heartbeat.

Really?

I'm coming.

See ya.

Bye, Simone.

Mmm. This meal was delicious.

I was missing one thing.

Really, what?

A little sugar.

Ah, Reggie!

You got to go.

No, no, no. I'm staying for a while. I got no curfew or nothing.

Oh, you sure you don't have to go? You sure?

No, I don't. Mr. Brown, we're trying to have dinner.

Okay, all right.

I'm so sorry. My daddy can be so strange sometimes, you know?

Sometimes? I mean, your daddy is the worst.

I don't even want to talk about your daddy tonight. I want to talk about you.

Hey, Reggie!

You sure you don't have to go?

Because you should have to go by now. No, he don't have no way.

You sure?

Mr. Brown, no, he don't have anywhere he has to go. Can you go?

Oh, you just hurt me.

Okay.

Well,

since you made this lovely dinner, the least I can do is just help with the

cleanup, okay? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You relax now.

All right. Let me do that for you.

Oh, so you do have to go.

That's all your jacket. Carter, go put on your car girl stuff and let's go.

Mr. Brown, what you just... What's wrong? What is it, Carter?

I don't think it's... It's probably nothing, okay? Okay.

Oh! Carmen, what is it? Move out the way!

Carmen, what's wrong?

Look, maybe something I...

Man's nasty, fool.

I just feel so bad.

I can't believe I actually made you sick.

I don't know why you've been making me sick since I met you. Mr. Brown.

Reggie, don't be so hard on yourself. It's okay.

Yeah, be hard on yourself. Cut your wrist.

Well, the doctor said that you need to get plenty of rest. Okay.

You ain't got to take care of my daughter. I can take care of my own

Okay.

I know what I'm doing.

I'll just get you some water.

Okay, okay.

Cora, you know what'll make you feel better? Yeah, if you get these pillows

under my legs.

Cora, what'll make you feel better is if you kick Reggie out.

Mr. Brant, don't be like that. Why, it always make me feel better when I do it.

Howdy, neighbor.

Oh, no, Cora, I'm gonna be sick.

I feel like I gotta...

What are you supposed to be?

A cowgirl?

No.

Okay, I can see the cow part, but it's the girl that I'm having the problem

with. You know you're not too big to be hog -tied.

You're not my face, Annie Ugly.

Back up, back up.

Wait a minute, look. Well, you two cut it out. We gotta be late.

You're my goon.

Colonel, how come you're not dressed?

Colonel, I had to go to the hospital.

What? What happened?

Uh, Chef Bart, this dummy right here, got a poison.

Poison? Poison?

That's my mama's recipe. I eat it all the time.

Yes, we can see that.

Mr. Brown, stop. Richard tried his best. It's hard making duck. His navel looked

like a cup.

Wait a minute.

Conrad ate the duck?

Yeah, why?

What the duck?

He gave me that dreamy look.

Girl, you know he looks at everybody like that.

He's got a lazy ass.

I know.

I didn't want him anyway.

Okay.

So, uh, why'd you put him in a headlock until he took your number?

Too strong?

Let's just say the only date you'll be having with him is in court.

What?

Good afternoon, ladies.

Are you sick?

And why are you wearing Sasha's robe?

It used to be Sasha's robe.

It's mine now.

I couldn't.

Simone, you look ravishing.

I am pretty hungry.

Okay, how about you go watch cartoons?

Brianna, you know I'm too old for cartoons.

Well, you know the amazing Thunderbolt twins come on in about five minutes.

Really? I mean, so what?

I'm too old for that.

Garrett.

anybody's.

That's Simone's specialty.

I thought she liked me.

I feel so stupid.

Joaquin, it's not stupid to have a crush.

When the right girl comes along, and she's your age, she'll probably have a

crush on you, too.

So the mustache was a little too much?

Yeah, maybe.

Hey, how about you and I go get some ice cream?

Go out with my sister?

I know you're desperate, but I'm not.

I like these westerns. Come on.

Oh, no.

Don't hang him. He just shot the sheriff. He didn't shoot the deputy.

Cut it out.

Now, you got to tell her.

How do you know I ain't already told her?

Because you're still alive.

Don't think I'm doing anything.

Look, just tell Cora that the... Tell Cora what?

He said tell Cora to relax.

To relax. Or get a relaxer.

Thank you, Carl. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, Cora. Yeah, you know, because Brown's

got something to tell you because all the things... Yes, you got to tell me.

no, what are you doing, Brown?

Bye. No, no, wait. You stand right there.

He was ready to go.

Mr. Brown, I'm feeling so bad.

Well, Cora, that's because you ate that nasty duck.

No, it's not my stomach.

It's my heart.

Really? You got the heart burning?

What side is it on, Cora?

I just feel so bad for letting my daddy down.

Maybe I got what I deserve.

Well, Cora, you know... Mr. Brown, you know, if I would have just went to that

rodeo like I promised, none of this would ever happen.

Please, you got to forgive me. I don't know,

but if you just, you know... Forgive me, Mr. Brown, please.

Cora, I just... Cora, it's all your daddy's fault you got sick.

What are you talking about? Cora, I put some laxative on that duck. It was for

Reggie.

It wasn't meant for you. That was meant for Reggie. And I didn't never mean to

hurt my baby. But, Carter, Mr.

Bryant, you wouldn't. You know what? Mr. Bryant. The devil made me do it. My

stats and everything was too tight. Carter, you got to believe in me.

me.

I'm back. Are you back?

I'm so disappointed in you. How could you do that? You blame Reggie, and he

just, he felt terrible. That was just wrong of you. Cora, I'm sorry. Whatever

need to do to make it up to you, I will do that. Yeah, you're going to do

something. You're going to apologize to Reggie, and then you're going to have to

help him grease his mama's cap. Cora, you ain't going to do that to me. Yes, I

am, Cora. That woman got stuff in her cap like little...

But this chicken, this is the best chicken you ever made.

Really?

It's so succulent.

Really? It's so tender.

So good.

I'm glad you like it. Yep.

Hey, I'll show you. I don't want some. Oh, no, we're going out. We're going to

go out. Yeah, yeah. Cora's going to take me to the last night of Revival Rodeo.

Really?

You didn't -
