Congratulations, Thelma.

So far you've made
burnt oatmeal, loose oatmeal,

but this is the first oatmeal
I've ever seen

that you can
plaster the ceiling with.

Ma made it.

Oh, as I was saying,
looks good enough to eat.

Hey, Michael,

you try some
of that oatmeal,

and if you make it
through the bowl,

then I'll try some.

Okay, I'll make you
some fresh oatmeal,

all right?

Forget it.

I'll settle for this.

I think I'll
have breakfast

down at the club.

What club?

Any club where Thelma
don't do the cooking.

Anyway,
being a future millionaire,

I might as well
join a club or two anyway.

How you plan
to become a millionaire?

By selling your body

to Believe it or Not?

Simple, waffle-face.

By winning the lottery.

Oh, now, that's a nice
original way to get rich.

Wonder why nobody else
ever thought of that before?

No, Ma, we could
win the lottery.

No kidding.

Oh, J.J.

You know how I feel
about gambling.

It's illegal.

Mama, that's not illegal.

The lottery is run
by the state of Illinois.

MICHAEL:
That's right, Ma,

and the money is used
for important things,

like health, education--

And politicians' girlfriends.

J.J., you buy
a ticket every month,

and you
haven't won yet.

Well, it's time
for my luck to change.

You know,

I got one of these
in every color of the rainbow.

One of these babies
gots to come through.

Or one of these babies.

Yeah, or one
of these babies.

Ah, what a big waste
of good money.

Do any of you
really think you got a chance?

You all got your hopes way up,
and for what?

There's one in a million
that you're gonna win.

Now, you think there's a fortune
around every corner

and a pot of gold
at the end of every rainbow,

but there is no way in the world
you're gonna win.

Not as long
as I got these.

We gonna be as rich
as the Rockefellers, huh?

We gonna be richer
than the Rockefellers.

How you
figure that?

Make a couple
extra dollars

by delivering ribs.

Ooh, and I'll quit
my job at the store,

and Thelma can give
remedial reading lessons.

Oh,
that reminds me,

Edna's due here
in a half an hour

for a lesson.

Yeah, Thelma, how she doing?

Oh, she's doing great.

I only gave her one lesson,
so she still can't read,

but she's beginning
to know that alphabet.

Hey, yeah.

That's very important.

You must know your A-B-Cs

if you want to make
some M-O-N-Y.

J.J., maybe you
should take a class too.

Hey, Michael, I was just jiving.

You know, I can spell "money"
in 10 different languages,

you know?

Dinero, peso,

"ruble," like in "Ruby Begonia,"
you know what I mean?

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Oh, hi, Edna,
come in.

Hi, Thelma.

You're a little early.

Oh, am I?
I ain't got not watch.

Oh, "ain't got no"
is a double negative.

It really means
you do have a watch.

Honest, Thelma,
I ain't got no watch.

I know, Edna.

When you use
two negatives

in one sentence,

they cancel
each other out.

Now, remember that,
okay?

In that case,

I ain't got
no million dollars,

which means

I really do
have a million dollars,

but every time
I reach into my pocket,

I come out
with lint.

So that means

that somebody's
ripped me off.

Come on, let's try
to ignore tall and dark.

Uh, you forgot
handsome.

Well, in your case,
I wasn't the first.

Oh, hi, Mike.
Hi, Mrs. Evans.

Hello, Edna.
Hi, Edna.

Have you had
breakfast yet?

Yeah.

Well, not really.
I had a cup of coffee.

Oh,
that's no breakfast.

Sit down,
I'll fix you some oatmeal.

Um, hold on, Ma.

Edna, a great
personal sacrifice.

Have mine.

Hey, Flo.

Honey, put on
the television, pronto.

Take it easy,
Willona.

Captain Kangaroo
ain't on yet.

Negro, please.

Willona, I ain't got no time
to watch television.

Today's laundry day.

Oh, well, if you
gonna do laundry,

you gotta go downtown
and do it.

All our machines
was ripped off yesterday.

How long does this thing
take to warm up?

Let me put it to you
this way, Willona.

If you wanna watch
the Saturday night movie,

you gotta turn it on
Thursday night.

Oh.

MICHAEL:
Willona, don't
worry, I'll fix it.

I got
the magic touch.

Then touch it.

Willona, what is
so important on TV?

They're giving out

the winning
lottery numbers, honey.

[HOLLERING]

Honey, and my set quit

soon as
they started rolling.

FLORIDA:
No kidding.

Willona, are all
those tickets yours?

They sure are,
and if I don't win something,

I'm gonna have to
wallpaper the bedroom with them.

Hey,
it's coming on.

Oh, Willona,
you remember Edna.

Oh, hi, Edna.

How's your reading
coming, honey?

Okay.
WILLONA: Good.

ANNOUNCER [OVER TV]:

Come on, daddy needs
a new pair of shoes.

Hey, hey,
sweet daddy,

Willona needs
a condominium.

Come on, come on,
Mama needs

a little bit
of everything!

Hey, Michael,
what you got there?

Nothing except
my rabbit's foot,

my four-leaf clover,
and my lucky key chain.

Uh-huh, it's
a good thing

you're not
superstitious.

And the winners are
blue, four, nine, two,

eight--

[TELEVISION GOES OFF]

ALL:
Hey, come on!

Hey, Michael, you keep
kicking that set like that,

Walter Cronkite won't be able

Those were the winning numbers.

Oh, we done miss it.

Here are

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

A handshake
will do fine, thank you.

$2500!

$2500!

$2500!

$2500?

That's almost as much
as I tip my maid.

Hey, Edna,
isn't this great?

Yeah, man.

Do you realize
how much money?

Look out, world,
I'm outta sight.

Think of
the new and rich

Kid Dy-no-mite!

Well, cow,

look like I'm gonna be
sending you out to pasture.

Well, family, we're rich.

Anything you all want is yours.

All right.

Well, J.J., I'm gonna
start the ball rolling

by getting me
a new pair

of professional
basketball sneakers.

I'll be playing
pro ball in no time.

Hey, yeah.

And I'll get me
some new paints and brushes

and get rid of
this tired old canvas in here.

Well, Ma,
the world's your oyster.

Pick a pearl.

ALL: All right!

THELMA:
Oh, there's this coat.

A big fur coat.
I just gotta get it.

FLORIDA:
Yeah, baby!

WILLONA:
Yeah, sure.

They got these
bad dresses

just came in the boutique
just the other day.

They're so outta sight,

they make
Whistler's grandmother

jump up and do the hustle.

Chantilly lace
from here to there.

And now that we can afford it,
I'll get--

What am I talking about?

I'm not a member
of the family.

Oh, yes, you are,
Willona.

We're rich.
We'll lend you the money.

FLORIDA:
Oh, that's right.

How can I
pay you back?

Don't worry
about that, Willona.

We'll lend you that too.

Hey, you know, you boys
could use a new sofa bed.

I saw a great one in the window
at Marshall Fields.

Buy it, Ma. Buy it.

We are rich.

All right.

And Thelma,
you've been studying Spanish

out of those tacky
old Spanish books.

From now on,
you gonna get the real thing.

You going to Spain.
Olé!

[ALL CHEERING]

And, Ma,

you need
a new winter coat.

What do you like?

Ermine, mink,
or sable?

What about all three?

I can wear the mink
for the laundry,

the ermine for the bus,

and the sable
for putting out the garbage.

[CHATTERING]

Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

Listen to us.

We sound like
a bunch of pigs at a trough.

All this buying
and spending.

Kids, your daddy and I
had big dreams for you.

Thelma and Michael
were going through college,

and J.J.
was gonna have an art career.

Now, I'm not about
to give up on those dreams.

That's what that money is for.

We'll just have to make do
like we always did,

'cause that money
belongs in the bank.

Well, J.J.?
It's your money.

Well, err, uh...

Well?

Well...

Well, cow.

Look like
we're riding the range again.

That's my boy.

Oh, J.J.,
put that thing down

and stop
acting silly.

Way you carrying on,

anybody would think
we were millionaires.

But what
can I say, Ma?

When you got it,
you show it.

Well, J.J.,
we ain't got it,

so stow it.

Mrs. Evans,

here is your bank book.

Oh, good.

Just sign
here, please,

so that
we may have

a copy
of your signature.

All right.

Wait a minute, Ma.

Don't sign nothing.

Look here, man.

You ain't shown us
no whistling tea kettle,

no combination
hot-comb dryer,

no pop-up toaster,

you call yourself
a bank?

We don't give premiums,

but we do
pride ourselves

on our fiduciary
responsibility.

Oh yeah?

Well, if we can't get
one of them pop-up toasters,

lay one of them
fiduciaries on us.

J.J., what
Mr. Woodruff means

is that this is

a very safe,
conservative bank.

Yes, each account is insured
by the United States government.

Well, these days,
who's insuring them?

J.J., I've had just
about enough of you.

You've had enough of him?

I'm way beyond that.

Mrs. Evans,
I want to thank you

for doing business
with a neighborhood bank.

I hope that this
is going to be

the beginning of a long
and lasting relationship.

Well, it sure is
a beginning,

'cause we never had
a savings account before.

Well, bra,
thanks a lot.

Oh, by the way, do you
validate parking?

J.J., we don't
have a car.

In that case,

you mind stamping
our bus transfer?

Oh, come on.

Thelma, how come
I always gotta

dry the dishes?

Because we're
sharing the work.

I wash, you dry.

Well, I think
there should be

a new system
around here.

Like maybe one day you
wash and dry the dishes,

the next day, Mama washes
and dries the dishes,

and the third day, J.J.
washes and dries the dishes.

And what about you,
mister?

I can't do menial
work like that.

I'm too busy making
out the schedule.

Oh.

Oh, boy.

Oh, Ma,
did you make the deposit?

It is safe and sound.

All right.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Yeah, Michael,
I almost got us a fiduciary

while we were down there.
What's that?

Oh, hello,
Edna.

I didn't know you were
coming over today.

Edna, we don't have
a lesson today.

Oh, I know.

Me and my kid
sister, Rozzie,

just thought
we'd come by.

Aw,
that's nice.

Come on in,
kids.

Come on, Thelma,
I'd better put that away.

EDNA:
All right.

You made
your deposit.

Now we're here
for the withdrawal.

Edna, what
in the world

do you children
think you're doing?

Well, we ain't delivering
Girl Scout cookies.

Look here, Mama, you just
do an up and down.

Shut up
and sit down.

Now,
just hold on there.

You can't talk to my mother
like--

There ain't much of you
to put a hole in,

but I can do it.

Lock that door,
stupid.

All right.

Not you,
stupid.

You, stupid.

Oh.

Edna...

do you always have
to call me "stupid"?

Sorry, dummy.

Don't call me
"dummy," either.

Just 'cause
I never went to school

don't mean I'm dumb.

Edna, I can't believe
you're really doing this.

But you're
just kids.

Well, we grow up fast
around here, Mama.

Yeah, everything I know
I learned from Edna.

Didn't I?

Listen, let's stop
the yakking.

We're here
after the money.

We don't have the money.
It's in the bank.

We know that.

That's why you
and Rozzie

are gonna go down
to that bank,

and you are gonna
bring the money here,

and just to
make sure you do,

me and...

my friend,

we gonna be
keeping an eye on

Black Pride,

Black Beauty,

and the Creature
from the Black Lagoon.

There's no way
in the world

I'm gonna leave you here
with my children.

[GUNSHOT]

Ma! Go to the bank,
Fast!

All right,
all right.

But God help you

if you hurt
one of my children.

EDNA:
Roz--

I know:
"Close the door, stupid."

EDNA:
Now, everybody be cool,

and nobody gets hurt.

I don't want no tricks.

THELMA:
J.J., this is like
a nightmare.

I can't
believe this.

Yeah, man,
what we gonna do?

Don't worry.

I've been watching this chick
eyeballing me

every time she
come over here.

All I gotta do is
make a couple of moves, and...

voilà.

She's in my arms.

J.J., be careful.

Yeah, man,
be careful.

Don't worry.
You're talking to

the black Casanova
of the projects.

Hey there, sweet mama.

Anybody ever tell you
you're beautiful?

Well, no.

Hey, did anybody ever tell you
you were handsome?

Well, you know.
What can I say?

Just say they lied.

Playing hard to get,
huh, mama?

Look here, why don't
you just relax

and let amourtake
over your toujours.

Listen.

You keep running
that line of jive on me,

and you gonna be

one turkey served up
before Thanksgiving.

What's taking you
so long?

Why can't you
just get the money?

I've got to fill out
this withdrawal slip first.

Oh yeah.

Well, you better
make it out

for the whole
2-5-0-0,

'cause I'm not as stupid
as Edna makes out.

I canread numbers.

Uh-huh. See, see,
this is 7-5.

See? This is
Mean Joe Green's number,

and my dress size.

That's what
Edna say.

If you're smart enough
to read numbers,

why didn't you learn
reading like Edna did?

She only did it

'cause her probation
officer made her.

Edna was smart
to play along.

I don't think
either one of you

is so smart.

In fact, what you're doing
is downright dumb.

You think
we're dumb?

You're the ones
giving up the $2500.

I'd give up 25 million

where my children
are concerned,

and if you
didn't have that gun

I'd give you 25 million
licks upside your head.

Hold it.

You're writing
too much.

Those are letters.

Now, you make out
a new one, go ahead,

and I don't want to see
nothing but numbers.

Go ahead.
Right there.

Thelma, I'm scared on
what could happen to Ma.

Don't worry,
Ma will be all right.

That girl wouldn't dare
try anything with her.

Hey, shut up, y'all.

WILLONA:
Hey, what--

what's going on?

Anybody in there?

ALL:
No!

WILLONA:
Well, nobody,
what's going on?

ALL:
Nothing, Willona!

WILLONA:
Open the door.

Uh, there's no one
here, Willona.

WILLONA:
J.J., open this door.

[BANG ON DOOR]

Hey, listen, you'd better
open the door

before she gets jumpy,

but you all better act
like nothing's wrong,

because I'm gonna have this
covering you all the time,

and if you think
of doing anything slick,

you think of your life.

I can't help
but think of my life.

It's flashing
right in front of me.

Well, well, well.
How's everybody doing?

You know, I've seen
a warmer greeting

given to John Wayne
by the Indians.

What's going
on in here?

The door's
all bolted

and you all sitting around
like you in a cemetery.

[GULPS]

All right, now,
where's your mama?

Uh, Ma?

Uh, uh...

Ma, er, uh, uh--

Thelma?

Uh, well, she, um--

Michael?

Um, well, um,

Mom...

She's downstairs
doing the laundry.

Laundry? I already told her
the machines--

Oh, today is laundry day,
ain't it?

Well, I'm gonna go on home
and change my shoes.

I'll be right back.

You ain't going no place,
fancy pants.

Don't wave that old toy
in my face, girl.

Willona, it's not a toy.

It's a Saturday night special.

But I don't mind using
it on Wednesdays.

Wednesday. I'm glad
you reminded me.

I got to go get
my license changed.

Sit down. I'm
counting to three.

Willona, she means it.

Uh, well,
in that case,

I'll make it
in one.

What's, uh, happening?

Willona, she's holding
us here hostage

while her sister's
down at the bank

making Ma take
all the money out.

WILLONA:
Lord, have mercy.

Where do you get off
robbing poor people?

Where do you get off
robbing anybody?

Oh, poor people?

Hey, with this great crib?

Listen, you got everything.

And you with
your fine threads.

Humph.

Ooh-la-la, mama, lookee here.

Hmm, expensive perfume, huh?

I ain't never had
nothing like this.

You talk to me
about poor people?

I'mpoor people.

Hmm.

Well, little girl,
I got news for you.

We're all poor people,

but maybe the difference is

we all don't pick up a gun
and rip off our friends.

Your mother
must be real proud of you, Edna.

Well, when she sobers up,
I'll ask her.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Edna, it's me,
Roz.

Are you kids all right?

They're okay.

They're okay, Flo.

They're okay.

If they hurt one hair on--

WILLONA:
Flo, they all
right, honey.

Oh, nobody
touched nobody!

Hey, where's
the money?

She tried to cheat me,
but I stopped her.

Come on, let's
get out of here.

Hey, uh, Rozzie.

How do you know Edna
won't cheat you too?

What do you mean?

Well, when
she was here,

she said she was gonna
wind up

with all the money.
Sure did.

That's not so.

Hey,
they're lying.

No, we're not lying.

That's right.

Look,
you wouldn't believe

these jive turkeys,
would you?

My kids don't lie.

I don't know, Edna.

You're all the time
calling me "dummy."

And "stupid."

But I wouldn't
cheat you.

Come on!

Edna, you won't take
my share, will you?

She said she would.

Shut up, you.

Rozzie,
don't be a dummy.

Rozzie, see that?

she called you
a "dummy" again.

Rozzie...

That's two "dummies"
and one "stupid."

Edna, you've always
cheated me,

even when
we were kids.

I want my share.
Now!

Okay, dummy.

And don't call me "dummy"!

That's right.

Get the gun!
Get the gun!

Hold it!

Freeze, freeze!

Freeze.

All right,

get over here
on the couch.

Both of you.

Get on.

Get on.

Get on over here
and sit down.

Thelma, you call
the police,

and tell them
to hurry.

Ma, we won't
get no police

in this
neighborhood.

Oh, yes, we will.

You tell them we white.

Yeah, hello, police?
This is an emergency--

They put me on hold!

Oh, Willona,

I'm so glad
you were here.

And thank God

none of you kids
were hurt.

Oh, I'm a
lucky woman.

Well, Rozzie,

you really
loused this one up.

I'm sorry.

Edna, for some fast money,

you know you gonna
wind up in jail again?

Well...

At least I'll smell rich.
