BABY, YOU GOT TO LEARN ‐‐

LEARN TO TALK ABOUT IT.

THE ‐‐ THE FACT THAT I FEEL LIKE A FOOL?

YOU AIN'T NO FOOL.

HE WAS PLAYING ME.

YEAH, HE WAS.

AND I WAS FALLING FOR HIM.

I KNOW.

I'M A FOOL.

BABY, YOU AIN'T NO FOOL.

THEN WHAT AM I, MAMA?

[ SCOFFS ] MAMA.

AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

MAMA.

LOOK, BABY.

WHEN YOU BEEN HURT BY A MAN...

AIN'T NOTHING LEFT TO DO

BUT PACK UP YOUR THINGS AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.

YOU HEAR ME?

BUT WHEN YOU PACK...

MAKE SURE YOU CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU PACKING.

YOU CAN'T TAKE DIRTY LAUNDRY OVER INTO THE NEXT RELATIONSHIP.

'COURSE, IF YOU DO,

YOU GONNA FIND YOURSELF

RIGHT BACK IN THE SAME SITUATION YOU WAS IN.

IT AIN'T NOTHING LIKE MAKING A NEW MAN PAY

FOR AN OLD MAN'S MISTAKES.

TRUST ME, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I'VE BEEN THERE.

YOU HEAR ME?

[ SIGHS ]

WELL, THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

BECAUSE I'VE GIVEN UP.

GIVEN UP ON WHAT?

ON LOVE. ON ALL OF IT.

LINDA.

MAMA, DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THIS HURTS?

YEAH, I DO.

BABY, IT HURT SO BAD SOMETIME, IT JUST...

IT JUST KNOCK THE WIND OUT OF YOU.

AND YOU DON'T EVEN WANT TO WAKE UP TO SEE THE MORNING.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT TOMORROW, THERE'S ALWAYS A BRIGHTER DAY.

[ Voice breaking ] MAMA, I'M SO ANGRY.

I KNOW.

I'M ANGRY WITH...

I'M ANGRY WITH GOD.

[ SOBS ]

I'M ANGRY WITH HIM. I'M ANGRY WITH MYSELF.

WHY YOU ANGRY WITH YOURSELF, LINDA?

BECAUSE I LET THIS HAPPEN, AND I SAID I WOULDN'T.

LET WHAT HAPPEN?

[ SIGHS ]

MAMA, I LOVE HIM.

[ Voice breaking ] I WISH I DIDN'T, BUT I DO.

BUT YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG, BABY.

THEN WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I DID?

BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HEART, BABY.

MAMA, I FEEL LIKE...

GOD IS PUNISHING ME FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.

HE WOULDN'T DO THAT TO YOU.

GOD IS PUNISHING ME.

NO, BABY.

[ COUGHS ]

LOOK, LINDA.

[ SNIFFLES ]

MAMA, I'M CELIBATE.

I DON'T SLEEP AROUND.

I GO TO CHURCH. MAMA, I'M A GOOD PERSON.

I KNOW.

AND THE WHORE ON THE CORNER IS LIVING BETTER THAN I AM.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, LINDA.

YOU AIN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP DOING THAT THERE NOW.

AIN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO KEEP OFFENDING THE WHORES.

MAMA, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[ EXHALES SHARPLY ]

I JUST TRY TO MAKE YOU LAUGH.

[ SNIFFLES ]

BABY, LOOK.

YOU HAVE A CALLING ON YOUR LIFE.

AND YOU NEED TO REALIZE

YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THINGS OTHER PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH,

'CAUSE GOD WON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.

YOU JUST NEED TO ACCEPT IT ‐‐

THAT YOU GOT TO WALK UP RIGHT BEFORE IT.

WHEN DID YOU GET SO DEEP?

YEAH, I RUN AROUND HERE AND ACT A FOOL AND EVERYTHING...

BUT I KNOW I'M WISE.

LINDA, YOU'RE SPECIAL.

AND WHATEVER YOU DO,

DON'T YOU LET THAT GO, YOU HEAR ME?

[ SNIFFLES ] WELL, I'M GOING TO.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I'M TIRED OF BEING A GOOD GIRL, MAMA.

LINDA.

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO LET MY HAIR DOWN AND FIND SOME FUN.

LINDA. LINDA!
