WELL, DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU.

YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT KNOCK ON HER DOOR AFTER 10:00

WITHOUT THE FEAR OF TWO TO THE BODY.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT.

EH? UH, WHAT?

LIONEL CANCELED ALL MY CREDIT CARDS,

LOOK, NOW, I'M ALL FOR THE INDEPENDENT WOMAN

AND EVERYTHING, BUT INDEPENDENT WOMEN HAVE JOBS.

AND A HOUSE TO STAY IN.

LOOK, I JUST AIN'T GOT NO ROOM HERE.

THIS IS, LIKE, THE BABY JESUS UP IN HERE.

THERE'S NO ROOM IN THE INN.

I CAN SLEEP ON THE SOFA.

THAT SOFA RIGHT THERE?

I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY AND SLEEP ON IT.

I CAN TRY.

HEY!

DID I HEAR YOU JUST SAY, "MAKE IT RAIN"?

ALL RIGHT.

THIS HERE TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE UP UNDER THIS HERE WIG

FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH.

OH, COME ON.

WOULD YOU STOP IT? THAT'S MY GRANDMA.

NO, LET HIM COME ON.

I'LL HAVE HIM SOMEWHERE SUCKIN' ON HIS THUMB,

CALLING FOR HIS MAMA.

"WHERE MAMA? WHERE MAMA?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS, MISS HATTIE.

[ CHUCKLES ] WHAT CAN I GET FOR Y'ALL?

I'LL HAVE A NUMBER FOUR. MM‐HMM.

GIVE ME A BURGER. T‐BONE STEAK.

THAT'LL BE $24.99.

GRANDMA, WE HAVEN'T EVEN EATEN YET.

I DON'T TRUST Y'ALL LIKE THAT.

I'M YOUR GRANDSON.

WHAT THAT 'POSED TO MEAN?

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, ON SECOND THOUGHT, I'LL JUST HAVE WATER.

I'M WATCHING MY FIGURE.

YOU SEE THAT?

I KNEW THAT FROM BACK IN THE DAY,

TO ALWAYS GET MY MONEY BEFORE I PERFORM ANY KIND OF DUTY.

I KNEW THAT FROM BACK IN THE DAY.

SAM, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY?

YES, I HAVE MONEY.

JUST NOT ON ME.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY MONEY?

I'M SURE HE PARTIED IT ALL AWAY.

STOP IT, PEASANTS.

I HAVE MONEY, OKAY?

CAN YOU BUY LUNCH?

IN BETWEEN SITUATIONS RIGHT NOW.

WHAT SITUATION?

BECKY AND VERONICA.

YOU ARE SUCH A DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I GOT YOU THIS TIME, SAM.

REALLY, MISS HATTIE? YEAH.

AND THEN YOU CAN COME TO THE BACK AND WORK IT OFF.

OH.

I DON'T MIND WASHING DISHES.

UH, BABY, AIN'T TALKING ABOUT NO DISHES.

YOU GONNA HAVE TO WORK IT OFF.

I JUST LOST MY APPETITE.

OH, DON'T GET FUNNY NOW.

YOU KNOW I LIKES TO SPANK THAT THING!

HEY!

OOH! [ CHUCKLES ]

HEY, DANNY. HEY, DREW.

HEY. YOU LATE.

GOT ME WORKING LIKE I'M ON THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

HELL, YOU LOOK LIKE HARRIET TUBMAN.

I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LATE

IF I HADN'T HAD TO ANSWER THE DOOR AT 3:00 A. M.

FOR YOUR DAUGHTER KNOCKING ON MY DOOR.

REALLY?

YES.

WELL, WHAT YOU DO? DID YOU OPEN THE DOOR?

YES.

WELL, WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR?

BECAUSE ‐‐

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T.

WELL, IF YOU HAD ANY SENSE,

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE OPENED IT FOR HER, NEITHER.

SHE'S BEHIND YOU.

AND?

THANKS A LOT, MAMA.

I DON'T BITE MY TONGUE FOR NOBODY,

'CAUSE I AIN'T SCARED OF NOBODY.

I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A WASTE OF TIME, UNCLE FLOYD.

IT SURE IS, IF YOU THINK YOU'RE FITTIN' TO

MOVE BACK INTO MY HOUSE.

IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. IT JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HEY, BABY. DON'T "HEY, BABY" HIM.

TELL HIM WHAT'S GOING ON. WHAT?

WHEN YOUR STEPDADDY CHEATED ON YOUR MAMA,

SHE THOUGHT ABOUT GOING BACK TO HIM.

MAMA! WHAT?

MAMA, DON'T DO THAT!

I TOLD YOUR GRANDMOTHER I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT,

AND SHE PUT ME OUT OF HER HOUSE.

I DIDN'T SAY I WAS GOING TO DO IT.

WELL, THAT WAS A STUPID THOUGHT AND A GREAT REACTION.

I HAD THIS HERE HAND ON THE DOOR

AND THIS HERE HAND RUSHING YOU RIGHT ON UP OUT OF HERE.

LIKE YOU FITTIN' TO DO RIGHT NOW.

YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS.

GRANDMA, THAT'S NOT RIGHT!

WHO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?

NOBODY.

TALKING TO ME LIKE YOU GOT A MORTGAGE.

WHERE YOU GOING? WHERE MY MONEY AT?

GRANDMA, I ALREADY PAID YOU.

I'M TALKING ABOUT MY TIP.

BUT I DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY FOOD.

WELL, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

I'LL BE BACK. GOD BLESS YOU.

AND MAY HIM SHINE UPON YOU.

HATTIE.

WHAT? THAT'S YOUR DAUGHTER.

WHAT THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE FOR HER.

FLOYD, WHEN I GAVE BIRTH, I WAS THERE FOR HER.

OH, LORD.

WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND WAS SICK,

I WAS THERE FOR HER.

WHEN SHE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AND GOT PREGNANT AT 16,

I WAS THERE FOR HER.

NOW, PLEASE BELIEVE ME.

I'M ALL OUT OF "I'M THERE FOR HER"s.

HATTIE, SHE'S IN NEED RIGHT NOW.

FLOYD, THERE COMES A TIME IN YOUR CHILDREN'S LIFE

WHEN THEY GOT TO LEARN TO DO THINGS FOR THEMSELF.

AND IT'S HALF PAST THAT TIME

AND A QUARTER TO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!

HEY, MAMA. IT'S ME, YOUR SON, DANNY.

IT'S MY 78th MESSAGE.

I'M JUST CALLING TO SAY HEY,

[ Voice breaking ] SO CALL ME BACK AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

BYE.

[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]

ARE YOU OKAY? NO.

[ SIGHS ]

ANOTHER THREE‐HOUR LUNCH BREAK, SAM?

WHY DON'T YOU GO ON ANOTHER THREE‐HOUR TOUR, DREW?

WITH THE PROFESSOR AND MARY ANN.

YEAH, TAKE THAT.

HEY, DANNY. HEY.

HE'S REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS MOTHER.

[ SIGHS ] YES. AND I'M STARTING TO WORRY.

OH, WELL DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER. SHE'LL BE FINE.

[ CHUCKLES ] IT'S YOUR MOTHER.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

LET IT GO.

I CAN'T JUST LET IT GO.

MY MOTHER AND I ARE VERY...CLOSE.

WELL, I LOVE THAT ABOUT YOU.

DANNY, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN GET YOU?

A HUG? A WEDDING BAND? KIDS? A POODLE? A PICKET FENCE?

DREW, STOP IT.

I WAS ONLY KIDDING. GOOD.

UNLESS YOU'RE SERIOUS.

GOOD, IT'S ALMOST 5:00.

OH, GOOD.

I CAN GO TO LUNCH.

YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM YOUR LUNCH BREAK.

OH, RIGHT. I CAN GO HOME.

WELL, WAIT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO FIND MY MOTHER. OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER.

SHE'LL COME BACK...

LIKE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM THAT I HAVE.

SAM, FOR JUST ONCE, CAN YOU JUST HELP ME THIS TIME?

YEAH, SERIOUSLY. FOR ONCE, SAM, BE A FRIEND.

I'LL HELP YOU, DANNY.

FINE.

I'LL PICK UP THE KEG MYSELF!

[ SIGHS ] FINE, I'LL HELP YOU LOOK FOR HER.

ALMOST MADE IT THROUGH A WHOLE DAY

WITHOUT HAVING TO DO SOMEONE A FAVOR.

OOH.

[ SNIFFS ] OH.

I LIKE THE SMELL OF THAT.

THAT SMELLS LIKE PEACE.

OOH, THAT'S WHERE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.

WHEW.

HEY, GRANDMA. DAMN!

HEY, MISS HATTIE.

HEY! YOU CAME TO WORK THAT STEAK OFF?

MISS HATTIE, I DIDN'T EAT ANYTHING.

Drew: I MEANT TO TELL YOU THE OTHER DAY

HOW MUCH I REALLY LOVE YOUR HOUSE.

IT'S SO...SO...

CASKET‐LIKE.

YOU WANT TO DIE HERE?

GRANDMA, DID YOU FIND MY MOTHER?

I WASN'T LOOKING FOR HER.

WHEN I GAVE BIRTH, I CUT THAT CORD.

AND IF YOU KEEP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT,

I'M GONNA CUT YOU, TOO.

WE, LIKE, TOTALLY SEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR HER.

YEAH, I CHECKED THE HOSPITALS.

I CHECKED THE MALL.

DREW.

WHAT? SHE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE.

THAT'S SAD.

WELL, WHERE DID YOU CHECK?

EVERY STRIP CLUB.

THANKS A LOT.

WHAT? SHE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE.

[ SIGHS ] GOD. NOW I'M STARTING TO WORRY.

YOU'RE ACTING MORE LIKE THE PARENT.

AT LEAST ONE OF US IS.

OOH.

SHE WAS ABOUT TO HIT ME, WASN'T SHE?

YEAH.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

Floyd: HATTIE, OPEN THIS DOOR!

SHE MOVED!

COME ON IN, UNCLE FLOYD.

THIS AIN'T YOUR DAMN HOUSE!

HATTIE. WHAT?

DON'T "WHAT" ME.

LOOK HERE.

YOU GOT A TWO‐, THREE‐BEDROOM HOUSE,

AND YOUR DAUGHTER IS STAYING OVER AT MY APARTMENT

ON MY COUCH.

NOW, YOU NEED TO LET HER MOVE BACK HOME, ALL RIGHT?

[ LAUGHING ]

GRANDMA, THE TV's NOT EVEN ON.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? NOPE.

UNCLE FLOYD, H‐HAVE YOU SEEN MY MOTHER?

DIDN'T I JUST SAY SHE WAS OVER AT MY APARTMENT ON MY COUCH,

FOLDED UP LIKE A YELLOW PRETZEL?

YEAH, AND I'M SICK OF IT, TOO.

I'M SICK OF IT, TOO.

OH, SO, YOU'RE GONNA IGNORE ME.

I TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

I'M GONNA MAKE AN ANONYMOUS PHONE CALL THE THE IRS

AND TELL THEM HOW YOU HAVEN'T PAID TAXES ON YOUR TIPS

FOR THE LAST 35 YEARS.

YOU WOULDN'T.

YES, I WOULD.

WELL, THAT'S THREE PEOPLE I DON'T PLAY WITH ‐‐

THE "I," THE "R," AND THE "S."

SEE, I KNEW THAT'D GET YOUR ATTENTION.

SO YOU NEED TO LET HER COME ON BACK HOME.

Mm‐hmm. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Mm‐hmm.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I SAID, "OKAY."

DON'T PLAY WITH ME, HATTIE.

AS SOON AS I SEE HER.

LINDA, COME IN.

DAMN!

MAMA, I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

DON'T BE, BABY.

I'VE BEEN STAYING WITH UNCLE FLOYD.

EW. WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE IN THAT BASEMENT?

EW. DON'T TALK ABOUT MY LOVE BUNGALOW, THANK YOU.

AND I'M SICK OF HER BEING IN THERE.

I'M JUST GLAD YOU DIDN'T GO BACK TO LIONEL.

I MAY AS WELL.

NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT ME AROUND HERE.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

HATTIE. WHAT?

YOU DON'T WANT HER AROUND, EITHER.

TRUE THAT. TRUE THAT.

BOTH OF YOU STOP IT.

NO, DANNY, IT'S FINE.

THEY WANT TO BREAK MY SPIRIT, THEN FINE.

GO AHEAD.

MY LIFE IS FALLING APART,

AND Y'ALL WANT TO ACT LIKE THIS?

I'M SO SICK OF YOU FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

MY MARRIAGE IS OVER, MAMA. HAVE SOME SYMPATHY.

CRY ME A RIVER.

LOTS OF PEOPLE'S MARRIAGES END.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS.

COME ON, UNCLE FLOYD.

Floyd: OH, NO, NO, NO, HELL, NO, NO, NO.

NO, NO, NO, NO. MNH‐MNH.

MAMA, DON'T GO.

AGAIN, I SAY THIS AIN'T YOUR DAMN HOUSE!

NO, BABY, IT'S OKAY.

SHE HAS NEVER HELPED ME OUT AT ALL.

GO AHEAD.

YOU WANT TO KICK ME WHEN I'M DOWN?

MAMA HATTIE!

NO, BABY, IT'S FINE.

LET HER DO IT.

YOU NEED TO STOP WEARING YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE.

GO AHEAD, MAMA.

YOU WANT TO BEAT ME, LIKE THE WORLD'S BEEN BEATING ME UP?

GO AHEAD.

COME ON, MAMA.

[ CHUCKLES ] SO MUCH VIOLENCE.

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT! MAMA!

I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!

MM‐HMM. THAT'S IT!

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE!

FIGHT BACK, LINDA!

YOUR MARRIAGE IS OVER? SO WHAT?!

FIGHT BACK!

LIFE DOESN'T COME WITH A REMOTE CONTROL!

YOU HAVE TO GET UP AND CHANGE IT YOURSELF.

NOW, THAT'S WHAT I CALL TOUGH LOVE.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT WASN'T LOVE.

MAMA, SHE'S RIGHT.

I KNOW.

THAT'S GOOD THAT YOU KNOW THAT.

I'M NOT GOING BACK TO HIM.

UNCLE FLOYD, YOU AND MY MAMA ARE RIGHT.

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO STAND ON MY OWN.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.

WELL, I'MA GO HOME.

WAIT. FOR WHAT?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND

THIS STANDING‐ON‐YOUR‐OWN THING, DO YOU?

I JUST NEED SOMEWHERE TO STAY UNTIL I GET ON MY FEET.

AAH!

Mama Hattie: YOU CAN STAY HERE, GIRL.

THANK YOU, MAMA. I KNOW YOU HATE ME BEING HERE.

GOT THAT RIGHT.

I LOVE YOU, GRANDMA.

OH, GO TO HELL, JOHN‐BOY.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN GO?

DO YOU HAVE A ROOM?

NO, NO. IT WAS HYPOTHETICAL.

GRANDMA REALLY LOVES US. AIN'T THAT RIGHT, GRANDMA?

Mama Hattie: YEAH. NOW Y'ALL GET THE HELL OUT!

CLAP OFF! [ CLAPS HANDS ]

THANK YOU, MAMA.

FOR WHAT?

FOR LETTING ME STAY HERE.

DID I SAY YOU COULD STAY HERE?

I WAS JUST TEASING.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE NOWHERE

WHERE YOU AIN'T HAPPY AND EVERYTHING.

THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

WELL, GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU, GRANDMA.

I KNOW WHAT I'D BE DOING WITHOUT Y'ALL.

WHAT?

DON'T...

ASK HER THAT.

I'D BE SOMEWHERE SWINGING ON THE CHANDELIERS AND EVERYTHING.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ CHUCKLES ] GRANDMA, YOU STILL DATE?

DO A DUCK QUACK?

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR US.

YEAH. I'M HERE FOR Y'ALL.

I AM. I'M HERE FOR Y'ALL.

FOR THREE MONTHS.

BUT AFTER 90 DAYS,

Y'ALL NEED TO BE 90 MILES THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE.
