LINDA, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHAT IS THIS REALLY ALL ABOUT?

THAT'S MY LITTLE BABY DANNY.

THAT'S A GROWN‐ASS MAN.

YOU GONNA HAVE TO LET HIM GROW UP AT SOME POINT.

NOW, LINDA, YOU WRONG.

YOU DONE MADE A WHOLE LOT

OF DUMB‐ASS DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE.

AND YOU WAS JUST AS YOUNG AS DANNY WAS.

AND WHAT DID I HAVE TO DO?

I HAD TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT.

MAMA, YOU DIDN'T SPEAK TO ME FOR TWO YEARS.

AND THAT'S HOW I DEALT WITH IT.

HOW DID IT FEEL WHEN I DIDN'T TALK TO YOU FOR TWO YEAR?

MAMA, IT'S OKAY TO SAY YOU'RE WRONG.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I KNOW IT IS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TO ME.

AND I'M TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU DONE TO DANNY AND TROY.

BUT YOU DIDN'T SPEAK TO ME FOR TWO YEARS!

OKAY. KEEP IT UP, LINDA.

AND I'M A‐THINKIN' IT MIGHT NOT BE SUCH A BAD IDEA.

OKAY. TEST ME, THEN.

MAMA, I DON'T LIKE THAT GIRL.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT GIRL.

‐I KNOW ENOUGH. ‐WHAT IS IT THAT YOU KNOW?

MAMA, I KNOW SHE TOOK MY LITTLE BABY DANNY.

SHE KIDNAPPED HIM!

SHE TIED HIM UP!

AND SHE DRUG HIM TO VEGAS!

AND MARRIED HIM.

AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT DANNY DIDN'T DRAG HER TO VEGAS,

TIE HER UP,

SLAM HER ON THAT BED,

THROW HER LEGS UP IN THE AIR ‐‐

MAMA!

STOP IT!

I KNOW BECAUSE MY BABY...

DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TIE A KNOT,

AND HE DOES NOT ‐‐

AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHERE VEGAS IS.

WELL, HE DAMN SURE TIED THAT KNOT.

THAT'S A GOOD AND TIGHT KNOT, THERE.

MAMA, YOU ‐‐ YOU ACT LIKE ‐‐

YOU ACT LIKE THIS YOUR HOMEY, THIS YOUR GIRL, LIKE ‐‐ LIKE ‐‐

NOW, THERE AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT GIRL.

I THINK SHE'S A NICE GIRL.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

DANNY KNEW HER FOR ONE MINUTE.

YOU COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN HER FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS.

I WAS IN VEGAS WITH THEM.

FOR A DAY.

YEAH, I WAS THERE FOR A DAY,

BUT I STILL LIKE HER FOR HIM.

‐DO YOU? ‐I DO.

AND, LINDA, MAYBE IF YOU CALL HER,

YOU MIGHT LIKE HER, TOO.

I DON'T KNOW.

I KNOW YOU WILL CALL HER.

AND AFTER THAT, YOU GONNA CALL AND YOU GONNA TALK TO DANNY.

YOU HEAR ME?

YOU GOT ME?

AND THIS WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.

YOU SURPRISED?

UH, HELLO. NOTHING AROUND HERE IS CONSISTENT.

EXCEPT FOR THE DECLINING FOOD SCORE FROM THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

TOO BAD THAT HATTIE THINKS THE "D" STANDS FOR "DELICIOUS."

MISS LINDA, YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK I NEED TO LEAVE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD.

BUT BEFORE I DO, I JUST WANT TO SAY

ONE LAST THING TO YOU, PLEASE.

SPEAK.

YOU SEE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR SON.

YOU AND YOUR MOTHER HAVE BABIED HIM.

IT'S LIKE HE'S A 12 YEAR OLD, BUT HE'S A MAN

AND A GROWN‐ASS MAN, AT THAT.

AND I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP HIM GET THERE.

I LOVE DANNY, AND I SEE ALL THAT HE CAN BE.

I KNOW HIS DREAMS, HIS HOPES.

I'M JUST TRYING TO BE THE BEST WIFE FOR HIM.

YOU SEE, WE BOTH LOVE HIM,

AND WE BOTH WANT THE SAME THING FOR HIM.

AND HE'S HAVING NIGHTMARES BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT RETURNING

HIS CALLS.

SO, YOU CAN HATE ME ALL YOU WANT,

BUT YOUR SON LOVES YOU.

CAN YOU JUST STOP TREATING HIM LIKE THIS?

I'M WILLING TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY

IF IT WILL HELP YOU WITH HIM, BUT JUST DON'T DO THIS TO HIM.

THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY. EXCUSE ME.

W‐W‐WAIT.

YES?

I CAN TELL THAT YOU LOVE HIM.

HOW?

ALL THAT CHATTERING YOU WERE JUST DOING.

REALLY?

YEAH.

AND ‐‐ AND I HATE THAT ‐‐

IT'S UNFORTUNATE YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO,

BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS DANNY IS MY BABY.

AND HE HAS BEEN BY MY SIDE SINCE THE DAY HE WAS BORN.

WELL, HE REALLY MISSES YOU.

I KNOW THAT HE DOES, AND I MISS HIM, TOO.
