Hattie Mae: THIS HERE WILL MAKE GOOD MINE, HERE.

I GET THIRSTY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

GOD, WHY I GET THIRSTY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

I CAN'T GET THIRSTY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE ‐‐

IN THE DAYTIME.

HAVE TO COME DOWNSTAIRS, GET ME A GLASS OF WATER.

BY THE TIME I GET TO THE BOTTOM,

I FORGOT WHAT I COME DOWN HERE FOR.

THEN I HAVE TO GO BACK UPSTAIRS AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.

I CAN'T BE DOING THIS STARTING AND STOPPING AND CARRYING ON.

I'M TOO OLD FOR THAT, THERE.

THEN I HAVE TO GO IN THERE, GET ME A DRINK OF WATER,

AND DRINK IT,

AND THEN GO BACK UPSTAIRS AND TRY TO FALL ASLEEP.

THEN ONCE I FALL ASLEEP, I START HAVING NIGHTMARES AND THINGS.

HAD A NIGHTMARE ONE NIGHT I WAS GOING PEE ON MYSELF.

MM‐MM‐MM.

I WONDER ‐‐

WHAT THE HELL?

OH, YOU JUST GONNA ROLL UP IN HERE

LIKE YOU PAY RENT AND YOU GONNA SLEEP?

UH‐HUH. I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

I'M GONNA MAKE YOUR DAY.

[ Whispering loudly ] LIN!

LINDA!

LINDA!!

COME QUICK!

THERE'S A BASTARD ON THE COUCH!

BUT I'M GONNA ROCK HIS WORLD, BABY!

YOU JUST GONNA COME IN HERE AND LAY DOWN ON MY STUFF?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

HYAH!

[ PANTING ] WHO ARE YOU?

I'M WILL!

YEAH, YOU SURE GOD GONNA NEED IT, BABY!

I SURE HOPE YOU GOT ONE!

HEY!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?

I WAS SLEEPING. I KNOW THAT! BUT WHY?

WAIT, WAIT. MISS HATTIE, I'M A FRIEND OF LINDA'S.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME, MISS HATTIE?

I'M ABOUT TO BE A BULLET!

YOU TRYING TO ROB ME?!

NO! NO!

YOU TRYING TO ROB ME!

WHAT IS GOING ON?

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW NEAR DEATH WAS ‐‐ YOU WAS THEN.

I CAME DOWNSTAIRS AND THIS MAN TRIED TO ASSAULT MY BODY.

M‐MISS HATTIE...

HE JUST COULDN'T RESIST THIS SEXY LINGERY.

MISS HATTIE, ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU TRIED TO DO TO ME.

MAMA, STOP IT. THIS IS WILL.

YOU REMEMBER HIM FROM THE DINER.

OH, THAT'S WHO THAT IS?

YES.

HEY, WILL.

HEY.

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. YES.

WHAT YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?

WE WERE OUT LATE,

SO I THOUGHT HE SHOULD SLEEP ON THE SOFA.

YOU DO KNOW THIS IS MY SOFA AND MY HOUSE, RIGHT?

YES, MAMA.

YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT FOOLING WITH YOU ‐‐

I'M FITTING TO GO BACK TO BED, BUT YOU BETTER LET ME KNOW,

'CAUSE HE WAS ABOUT TO GET TWO TO THE BODY THEN.

WH‐‐ I THOUGHT I WOULD BE UP BEFORE YOU, MAMA.

HOW YOU FIGURE THAT WHEN YOU SLEEP ALL DAMN DAY?!

NO, I DON'T!

YES, YOU DO.

I'M GOING TO BED.

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THIS HERE.

NEXT TIME, YOU BETTER WARN ME.

DAMN. NOW I'VE GOT TO PEE.

I'M SO SORRY.

IT'S OKAY.

MY MAMA.

LET ME GUESS. REFILL?

YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, WE DO SERVE FOOD HERE.

I KNOW.

BUT I LIKE THE COFFEE.

OKAY.

UH, I'M PHILLIP. AND YOU ARE...?

NOT FEELING YOU.

SORRY?

LINDA.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

SAYS IT ON MY NAME TAG.

YOU BEEN LOOKING AT IT FOR A WEEK NOW.

I'M SORRY, LINDA.

THANK YOU FOR THE COFFEE.

SURE.

Hattie Mae: MAKES ME SICK.

THIS MAKE MY DOGGONE BLOOD BOIL.

AND SHE LET HIM SLEEP ON MY DOGGONE SOFA, TOO.

WELL, I GUESS IT'S BETTER

THAN LETTING HIM SLEEP IN HER BED.

EVEN THOUGH SHE PROBABLY NEEDS

SOMEBODY SLEEPING IN HER BED.

SHE NEED TO GET HER OWN PLACE.

I KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME.

I'M NOT HIDING IT.

I'M RIGHT HERE.

WELL, I AM GETTING MY OWN PLACE.

GOOD. WHEN?

MIGHT TAKE A WHILE IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T START TIPPING!

YOU MEAN HE AIN'T STARTED TIPPING YOU YET?

NO.

WELL, HE LEFT A DOLLAR THIS TIME, BUT...

CHEAP TALE.

BUT I HAVE BEEN SAVING SOME MONEY,

SO I WILL BE MOVING OUT.

GOOD.

HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT SAVED?

$3,000.

WHAT?!

THAT'S RIGHT.

WORKING HERE?!

YEAH.

BUST YOU IN YOUR THROAT.

WELL, I JUST BEEN LETTING HER LIVE RENT‐FREE

SO SHE CAN GET OUT AND GET HER OWN PLACE.

MAKES SENSE.

WELL, I'LL BE LOOKING FOR A PLACE THIS WEEK,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WELL, GOOD VERY MUCH.

WILL'S GONNA TAKE ME OUT AND SHOW ME SOME PLACES.

JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS YOUNG MAN, LINDA?

UGH! DON'T.

YOU SOUND LIKE DANNY NOW.

WELL, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH DANNY AND YOUR MOM, ALL RIGHT?

YOU BEEN SPENDING AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME WITH THIS BROTHER.

LOOK, I LIKE HIM. HE LIKES ME.

Y'ALL KILL ME.

"LINDA, FIND A MAN." "GO ON A DATE."

"DON'T STAY AT THE HOUSE." "DON'T BE COUPED UP."

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE." "STOP!"

"GET TO STEPPING, LINDA, GET TO STEPPING!"

"YOU AIN'T GOT TO GO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOING,

YOU CAN'T BE HERE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS!"

"I GOT TO BRING MY MAN OVER!"

"I GOT TO HAVE MY ‐‐" LINDA!

SHE WENT TO A NERVOUS BREAK DOWN THERE, DIDN'T SHE?

MADE ME NERVOUS.

[ SCOFFS ] I'M GLAD I WAS STANDING BEHIND YOU.

THEN WHEN I DO,

Y'ALL TALKING ABOUT, "OH, LINDA, BE CAREFUL."

"YOU DON'T KNOW HIM."

Y'ALL NEED TO RELAX.

I MEAN, LINDA, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU, ALL RIGHT?

AND WE JUST, YOU KNOW, TRY TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU.

YEAH, WE DO.

I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY

WHERE SHE GET THE HELL OUT MY HOUSE.

HATTIE...

WELL, THE DAY IS COMING SOON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE.

WELL, GUESS SHE GOT ME TOLD THEN.

YOU KNOW WHAT THOUGH, HATTIE, I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BROTHER.

THERE'S SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT HIM.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE SAME THING I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU.

[ Imitating Hattie ] WELL YOU KNOW,

IT'S THE SAME THING I KNOW ABOUT YOU.

[ Normal voice ] FOR SURE.

HEY, LINDA.

UM, YOU KNOW WE GOT AN APARTMENT OVER AT MY BUILDING?

UNH‐UNH. DANNY WOULD HAVE A FIT IF I WAS THAT CLOSE.

OH, YOU PROBABLY RIGHT.

BUT I AM LOOKING ON THE WEST SIDE.

GOOD. THAT'LL KEEP SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN US.

YEP. THAT'S FINE WITH ME, TOO.

FINE BY ME, TOO.

HEY, BABES.

HEY! HEY.

HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD, GOOD. OH, HERE.

WHAT'S THIS?

THE MONEY I OWE YOU.

TAKE IT. OH! THANKS.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GIVE IT BACK TO ME ON FRIDAY.

NAW, I GOT IT FROM MY WORK EARLY.

YOU KNOW, JUST TO PAY YOU BACK.

I DON'T LIKE BORROWING MONEY.

WELL, THANK YOU.

NO, THANK YOU. IT WAS MY BAD.

I SHOULD'VE HAD MY WALLET FOR DINNER.

WELL, I FELT LIKE I SHOULD PAY 'CAUSE I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME.

OH, WE GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME TONIGHT.

OOH, WHAT'S TONIGHT? SALSA DANCING, BABY.

OH, OKAY. OKAY.

A'IGHT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

YEAH, IT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN.

ALSO, I'LL PICK YOU UP AFTER WORK, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY. DO THAT. BYE‐BYE.

LINDA.

YES?

YOU GAVE THAT MAN SOME MONEY?

[ SIGHS ] MAMA, YOU AND UNCLE FLOYD ARE SO NOSEY.

DID YOU?

NO, WE ARE NOT NOSEY!

DID YOU GIVE HIM SOME MONEY?

YOU TWO NEED TO STOP.

NO, YOU NEED TO STOP!

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

LINDA, I DON'T LIKE THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE GIVING THIS MAN MONEY.

MAMA, WE WENT TO DINNER,

HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS WALLET, SO I PAID.

I TOLD YOU THAT!

AND YOU FELL FOR THAT OLD TRICK?

WHAT TRICK?

WHEN THE MAN GO TO PAY

AND THEN ACT LIKE HE FORGOT HIS WALLET AND EVERYTHING ‐‐

GIRL, I USED TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME.

AND THEN ME AND MY DATE WOULD ROLE PLAY,

I LIKE, YOU KNOW, TAKE HER TO THE ATM,

"TAKE OUT ALL YOUR MONEY!"

AND I HAVE A MASK ON AND EVERYTHING ‐‐

FLOYD! I TAKE $300...

THAT WAS HER LIMIT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY Y'ALL ARE SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE.

HE GAVE ME THE MONEY BACK.

YEAH. I DON'T LIKE THAT THERE.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEM,

'CAUSE THEY START OUT WITH A SMALL AMOUNT

AND THEN THEY GO TO GETTING BIG MONEY.

THEY BE GRADUATING WITH THEM DOLLARS AND THINGS.

GRADUATING?

YEAH, THEY DO A GRADUMERATION CEREMONY ON YOUR TAIL.

YOU BE LOOKING CRAZY.

WON'T HAVE NARY A DIME TO YOUR NAME.

SO, YOU THE REASON WHY THE BOOKS ALWAYS COME UP SHORT.

'CAUSE YOUR MATH SENSE MAKES NO SENSE.

[ SIGHS ] COME ON, GUYS. IT'S GETTING LATE.

I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS GUY.

I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT HIM.

I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT SAM, TOO.

BUT I OVERLOOK IT.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

QUESTION, BRO.

UM...WHY YOU DON'T EVER ORDER ANY FOOD HERE?

BECAUSE I LIKE THE COFFEE.

DUH.

WELL, THE BIGGER QUESTION IS,

WHY YOU LEAVE SUCH A SMALL TIP?

WELL, THAT'S FIFTEEN PERCENT OF A DOLLAR.

COFFEE IS A DOLLAR.

MAN, YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.

I'M SORRY. [ CLEARS THROAT ]

W‐WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU WANT SOME MORE COFFEE?

HE AIN'T GONNA TIP YOU.

I'M GLAD YOU LIKE OUR COFFEE.

YOU KNOW, MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE USED TO MAKE THAT.

THE SECRET IS IN THE BEANS, YOU KNOW.

WELL, IT'S THE BEST.

IT TASTES LIKE MY WIFE'S, BEFORE SHE DIED.

OHH, NO.

HEY, THIS ISN'T FUNNY! LET'S GO!

I'LL BE BACK, HATTIE.

OOH...

CHEAP STRIPPERS.

WHERE IS SHE?

WE COULDN'T FIND HER. I'M WORRIED SICK.

SHE WASN'T AT THE PINK COLONETTA.

THAT PLACE WAS DISGUSTING.

BUT I DID MAKE 30 BUCKS.

YOUR POLE WORK WAS BREATHTAKING.

I ALWAYS KNEW I LIKED YOU.

I'VE CALLED HER CELLPHONE AND SHE WON'T EVEN ANSWER.

I SURE HOPE I DIDN'T PUSH MY BABY

INTO THE ARMS OF A PREDATOR.

WELL, YOU DID.

AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

UNCLE FLOYD, STOP IT.

WELL, I MEAN, WELL, SHE SHOULD.

I KNOW, BUT JUST STOP IT.

Y'ALL NOT GONNA SIT HERE AND JUST TALK ABOUT ME

LIKE I'M NOT HERE.

THIS IS SO INSANE!

WHAT ARE THE ODDS SHE WOULD MEET A GUY LIKE THIS?

ACTUALLY, IN YOUR CASE, PRETTY HIGH.

[ LAUGHING ] HEY, Y'ALL.

MAMA! WHAT THE ‐‐

GET AWAY FROM HER.

DANNY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I HEARD OF LITTLE MAN BEING PROTECTIVE,

BUT THIS IS CRAZY.

YEAH, WELL, I GOT YOUR "LITTLE MAN"!

AND SLIGHTLY STRONGER.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

LINDA...

BABY, LOOK.

HE'S A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER.

WHAT?

WILL...

I CAN EXPLAIN THAT.

IS THIS TRUE?

LET ME EXPLAIN.

MAYBE AIN'T NOTHING FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN.

YOU NEED TO GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE.

LINDA, BABY ‐‐

SHE IS NOT YOUR BABY.

LET ME EXPLAIN!

I SAID YOU NEED TO GO.

LINDA!

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO.

NOW.

YOU HEARD THE OLD BAG OF BONES.

LINDA, PLEASE, LET ME EXPLAIN.

BROTHER, THERE AIN'T NOTHING FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN.

FINE!

MAMA, I AM SO SORRY.

BABY, WE DIDN'T KNOW.

WE HAD NO IDEA.

NONE OF US DID.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU GOT OUT,

YOU KNOW, BEFORE YOUR HEART GOT INVOLVED.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MY HEART IS ALREADY INVOLVED.

BUT, LINDA, YOU'VE ONLY KNOWN THIS GUY FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS.

I KNOW THAT.

BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THAT DOOR TO MY HEART WAS ALREADY...

CLOSED.

MAMA... NO. NO.

DON'T...

DON'T "MAMA" ME.

Y'ALL NEED TO LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME LIVE ‐‐

LET ME LIVE MY LIFE AND LET ME DO WHAT I WANT TO DO.

I DON'T WANT TO DATE ANYBODY.
