AAH -- OH.

WHAT?

BABY, THAT COFFEE SMELL GOOD.

GO AND POUR ME A CUP OF THAT.

CURTIS, I STILL GOT THESE

EGGS OVER HERE.

CAN YOU JUST GET IT YOURSELF?

CHECK THIS OUT.

THIS WOMAN HAD HER PINKIE TOE

REMOVED SO THAT SHE COULD FIT

HER FEET IN HER SHOES.

THAT IS CRAZY.

THE BIBLE DOES SAY IF YOUR FEET

OFFEND YOU TO CUT IT OFF.

SO ERGO THE PINKIE TOE.

CURTIS, YOU HAVE GOT TO READ

THE BIBLE BEFORE YOU CAN QUOTE

THE BIBLE.

HUH?!

MAYBE IF I HAD MY COFFEE, I'D

HAVE GOT IT RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

GET IT YOURSELF, CURTIS!

GET IT YOURSELF, HUH?!

BABY, CALM DOWN.

BABY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME ON BACK, BABIES.

GOOD MORNING.

SIT DOWN.

EGGS ALMOST READY.

OH, HEY, AUNTIE, INSTEAD OF

EGGS, I'M GONNA GET CEREAL.

YOU WANT SOME COLD CEREAL?

AFTER I HAVE BEEN OVER HERE

SLAVING OVER THIS STOVE FOR

THESE EGGS, A NUTRITIOUS MEAL

FOR YOU -- YOU KIDS DON'T

APPRECIATE NOTHING.

NOTHING!

HA!

DID I SAY "CEREAL"?

I MEANT "EGGS."

I MUST BE TRIPPING.

AH, AUNTIE, CAN YOU MAKE MINE

SUNNY-SIDE UP, PLEASE?

OH, YES, AND I WANT MINE

FRIED.

THE EGGS ARE SCRAMBLED...

HARD.

AND ALL OF YOU WILL EAT THEM AND

ENJOY THEM!

Both: OH, OKAY.

SCRAMBLED'S GOOD.

SCRAMBLED'S GOOD, YES.

MORNING.

POP.

COME HERE.

DO NOT GO NEAR THE STOVE.

If you want to cherish your

life, do not bother Auntie.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y'ALL?

Y'ALL TRIPPING.

Don't -- don't you go...

TICKLE, TICKLE, TICKLE!

AAH!

OOH.

CALVIN...

DON'T DO THAT!

AND YOU'RE ALWAYS MESSING WITH

ME.

CURTIS!

I TOLD YOU.

BOY, JUST SIT DOWN.

NO, THANK YOU.

I-I JUST CAME BY TO DROP OFF MY

LAUNDRY.

WHO GONNA DO YOUR LAUNDRY?

WHO DO YOU THINK GONNA DO THIS

LAUNDRY, HUH?!

CALVIN, SIT DOWN.

[ Sighing ] SIT DOWN, AND LET'S

JUST EAT.

LET'S JUST EAT BREAKFAST.

BUT I'M NOT HUNGRY.

DID I ASK YOU IF YOU WERE

HUNGRY?

NO, MA'AM.

DID I ASK YOU ANYTHING?

HAVE I EVER ASKED YOU FOR

ANYTHING?!

NOT EVEN THIS DIRTY LAUNDRY.

I NEVER ASKED YOU FOR NOTHING.

DIG IN.

I SAID DIG IN!

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,

WAIT, NOBODY WANTS TO PRAY?

[ LAUGHS ]

NOBODY'S GONNA SAY GRACE?

CAN YOU PRAY?

WE'RE A PRAYING FAMILY.

A FAMILY THAT PRAY TOGETHER STAY

TOGETHER.

PRAY.

WE NEED TO PRAY BEFORE YOUR

HEAD STARTS SPINNING AROUND AND

GREEN GOOP START COMING OUT YOUR

MOUTH.

EVERY HEAD BOW.

* ELLA THOUGHT SHE HAD ME *

* ALL SPITTING GOOP ON ME *

* ALL OVER THE PLACE *

I WAS JUST PLAYING, BABY.

[ SOBBING ]

I LIKE MY LAUNDRY WELL-DONE!

CRAZY.

WHAT YOU GUYS DOING?

All: NOTHING.

CHIEF, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

YOU'RE NOT SCHEDULED TILL LATER.

I'M HIDING OUT.

THE I.R.S. FINALLY CAUGHT UP

WITH YOU, EH, CHIEF?

NO. MY MOM IS TRIPPING.

I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE OVER A

SLICE OF TOAST.

THAT ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME

ONCE, BUT IT WAS OVER AN APPLE

FRITTER.

HEY, CHIEF, WHAT'S GOING ON

WITH MISS ELLA?

OR SHOULD WE ASK WHAT DID YOU

DO?

NOTHING.

I DIDN'T DO NOTHING.

I BREATHED -- THAT'S WHAT I DID.

YEAH, THAT COULD HAVE DONE

IT, 'CAUSE SOMETIMES YOUR BREATH

IS HUMMING.

[ LAUGHS ]

SHUT UP, CALVIN.

IT'S NOT MY BREATH.

IT'S ELLA.

FIRST -- FIRST SHE'S HAPPY.

[ HUMS ]

THEN SHE'S SAD.

[ SIGHS ]

THEN SHE'S CRYING.

[ WHIMPERS ]

OOH, OOH, CHIEF, CHIEF.

I SAW THIS ONCE ON TV.

YEAH, MAYBE ALIENS TOOK THE REAL

MISS ELLA AWAY...

[ WARBLES ]

...AND REPLACED HER WITH AN

ANDROID.

[ Robotic voice ] HOW WOULD YOU

LIKE YOUR BISCUITS BUTTERED?

SOOKIE, SOOKIE, SOOKIE.

[ Normal voice ] OH.

[ LAUGHS ]

BART, I THINK YOU'RE AN ALIEN.

[ LAUGHS ]

I'M SERIOUS.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT

IF IT'S THE REAL MISS ELLA, YOU

SHOULD ASK HER QUESTIONS THAT

ONLY THE REAL MISS ELLA CAN

ANSWER.

LIKE WHY DID I HIRE YOU IN

THE FIRST PLACE?

CHIEF, MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST

ASK HER WHAT'S WRONG.

I DID THAT.

I ASKED HER THE OTHER DAY, AND

SHE WENT CRAZY -- LOCKED HERSELF

IN THE BATHROOM, TALKING ABOUT

SHE NEED TO GO FIND HERSELF.

I TOLD HER, "ELLA, YOU IN THE

TOILET."

THAT SETTLES IT -- IT'S YOU.

WAIT, DIDN'T YOU SAY SHE WAS

DEPRESSED ONE DAY?

DEPRESSED, MOODY, IRRITABLE,

TIRED, FORGETFUL.

I GOT IT.

SHE'S PREGNANT.

YEAH.

I'M FINALLY GONNA BE A BIG

BROTHER.

NO, NO, TRUST ME, THAT'S NOT

IT.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN -- YOU KNOW --

IN A WHILE.

A WHILE?

WHAT'S A WHILE?

TWO DAYS?

NO.

TWO WEEKS?

NO.

TWO MONTHS?

[ Sobbing ] YEAH.

[ CRYING ]

PAPITO, LO SIENTO.

POBRECITO.

DOS MESES ES MUCHO TIEMPO.

YO TRABAJO. TRATO.

YO QUIERO MI MAMí.

POBRECITO.

OH, Sí.

¿QUIERES UNA GALLETITA?

OH, UN POQUITO.

UNA GALLETITA.

GRACIAS.

SO, MALIK GOT DETENTION IN

EVERY CLASS?

OH, YES, AND DON'T FORGET

CLASSES HE DIDN'T HAVE.

REALLY, AND HOW DO YOU GET

DETENTION IN CLASSES YOU DON'T

EVEN HAVE?

WELL, BETWEEN CLASSES, HE

WORKED OTHER TEACHERS' NERVES.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT -- WHEN HE

GET HOME, I'LL BET YOU I'M

GONNA WHUP --

CURTIS, PLEASE, YOU KNOW C.J.

DON'T WHUP THESE KIDS.

C.J. AIN'T HERE RIGHT NOW, IS

HE?

HEY, EVERYBODY.

MALIK, WHY ARE YOU GETTING

DETENTION?

UH...I MISS MY DADDY, SO I'M

ACTING OUT.

ELLA, HE'S TRYING TO PLAY

YOU!

YEAH.

YOU SET THE FROGS LOOSE IN

BIOLOGY?

UGH, AREN'T THEY DEAD?

THAT'S WHY THEY DIDN'T GET

TOO FAR.

WELL, THEN HOW DO YOU GET A

DETENTION IN ART CLASS?

I PAINTED A PICTURE OF MY

TEACHER.

IT LOOKED JUST LIKE HER,

THOUGH...

[ LAUGHS ]

...EXCEPT FOR THE HORNS.

YOU PUT HORNS ON HER?

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU GOT A -- YOU GOT DETENTIONS

IN PE?

HOW DO YOU GET DETENTIONS IN PE,

MALIK?

OKAY, UNCLE CURTIS, THAT'S

"P.E."

WELL, HOW DO YOU GET

DETENTIONS IN THE P.E. CLASS?

WE WAS PLAYING KEEP-AWAY WITH

BILLY'S WOODEN LEG.

[ LAUGHS ]

HE WAS HOPPING MAD.

[ LAUGHS ]

WITH THE WOODEN LEG!

HE WAS HOPPING...

[ LAUGHS ]

THAT BOY'S CRAZY.

THAT BOY'S CRAZY.

HE SAID WOODEN LEG --

CURTIS, THAT AIN'T FUNNY.

I KNOW WHAT YOU DOING.

I KNOW WHAT YOU DOING.

[ LAUGHS ]

WAIT ONE MINUTE, BABY.

YOU KNOW WHAT, MALIK?

WHEN YOUR DADDY GET BACK FROM

THAT CONVENTION, NO VIDEO GAMES,

NOTHING FOR A WHOLE WEEK!

HUH!

OKAY.

COOL.

IT'S FOR A GOOD REASON.

WHOO!

WHOO, LORD, I AM BURNING UP!

OOH.

UH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y'ALL?

OH, CAN WE PLEASE TURN UP THE

HEAT?

CALVIN, JUST PUT ON ANOTHER

JACKET AND SOME SOCKS OR

SOMETHING, BABY.

CURTIS, COME ON TO BED.

WHAT?!

ALL SHE'S GONNA DO IT BE UP ALL

NIGHT.

PACING THE FLOOR.

BUT THEN AGAIN, MAYBE I CAN GET

SOME BODY HEAT.

I GET UNCLE C's WARM SPOT!

NO. I SHOULD GET IT.

WITH THE SIZE OF HIS BUTT,

THAT WARM SPOT IS BIG ENOUGH FOR

ALL OF US.

YEAH, YEAH.

[ ALL SIGH ]

GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!

BUT I THOUGHT YOU AND MOM

WERE...GONNA CUDDLE.

SHE KICKED ME OUT.

CHANGED HER MIND.

SO NOW I'M KICKING YOU OUT.

MALIK, COME ON.

GET OFF MY CHAIR.

BOY, YOU ARE EATING TOO MUCH.

COME ON. COME ON, CALVIN.

GO ON, NOW.

YOU'RE NOT EATING ENOUGH.

AND YOU AIN'T GONNA EAT IT HERE.

EAT IT OUT THERE.

COME ON, COME ON.

UNCLE CURTIS LOVES YOU.

WHATEVER AUNTIE ELLA GOT...

UNCLE CURTIS GOT IT NOW.

NO. HE'S NORMALLY LIKE THAT.

I THINK THAT SHE CAUGHT THE

"MINI-FLU" FROM HIM.

Shh, shh, shh.

Curtis...

MOM, ARE YOU OKAY?

DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO SHUT UP?

OH, GOD, FEEL MY HEAD, CURTIS.

FEEL MY HEAD.

WAIT, DON'T TOUCH IT!

DON'T TOUCH IT!

MY HEAD! CURTIS!

I FELL LIKE THE FALCONS AND THE

HAWKS ARE PLAYING SOCCER, LIKE,

AT THE ROSE BOWL IN MY HEAD.

CALVIN, YOUR MAMA'S

DELUSIONAL.

GO GET HER SOME ASPIRIN.

NO, NO, NO.

Shh. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

I GOT IT.

I SEE IT. I FEEL IT.

I KNOW WHERE IT IS.

DON'T NOBODY MOVE.

CALVIN!

DON'T MOVE.

OKAY. HEY, CL--

CLARETHA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING

HERE?!

I USED YOUR EMERGENCY KEY.

OH, A-AND YOUR MAGAZINE

SUBSCRIPTION IS ALMOST UP, AND

YOU OUT OF CHIPS.

I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH YOU

RIGHT NOW.

CLARETHA, I THINK I'M SICK.

WHAT? WHAT'S WRONG?

I CAN'T SLEEP, I'M HOT, AND

I'M COLD ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

I KEEP GETTING THESE HEADACHES,

AND MY FINGERS -- MY FINGERS ARE

TINGLING.

AND, CLARETHA, I CAN'T -- YOU

KNOW -- WITH CURTIS.

HUH, WELL, I CAN UNDERSTAND

YOU NOT WANTING TO -- YOU

KNOW -- WITH CURTIS.

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU CAME TO YOUR

SENSES.

BUT AS FOR THE REST OF IT, IT'S

THE BIG "M".

MENOPAUSE?

YEAH.

NO.

YOU GOING THROUGH THE CHANGE.

I AM SO GLAD Y'ALL CAME OVER

TO SEE ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO

WITHOUT MY SANCTIFIED SOUL

SISTERS.

GIRL, NO PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU.

I JUST FEEL SO...MISERABLE.

OH, THAT WILL PASS.

THEN IT WILL COME BACK.

THEN IT WILL PASS AGAIN.

AND THEN IT WILL COME BACK.

I GUESS I'M GETTING OLD.

UNH-UNH.

YOU ARE GETTING BETTER.

MM-HMM.

NOT IN BED.

SOMETIMES, I JUST CAN'T STAND TO

EVEN LOOK AT CURTIS.

OH, HONEY, THAT'S NOT

MENOPAUSE.

THAT'S JUST COMMON SENSE.

HEY, AUNTIE ELLA.

ARE YOU FEELING ANY BETTER?

YES, I AM, BABY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

MM-MMM.

HEY, AUNTIE.

HMM?

MISS CLARETHA SAID THAT YOU

WERE GOING THROUGH "THE CHANGE."

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU CHANGING

INTO?

WELL, JAZMINE, AUNTIE IS

GOING THROUGH...

[ SIGHS ]

...M-MENOPAUSE.

AND IT'S A CHANGE ON THE INSIDE,

AND IT'S LIKE -- IT'S LIKE A

CATERPILLAR WHEN A CATERPILLAR

TURNS INTO A BEAUTIFUL

BUTTERFLY.

OH, YOU'RE TURNING INTO A

BUTTERFLY?

THAT'S NICE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

JAZMINE, I, UM...

I KNOW I'VE BEEN DIFFICULT

LATELY.

I THINK THAT'S AN

UNDERSTATEMENT.

I'M TRYING TO APOLOGIZE.

OKAY?

WELL, AUNTIE IS GOING TO GO TO

THE DOCTOR SO THAT HE CAN HELP

HER BECOME HER OLD SELF AGAIN.

OKAY?

AUNTIE, TONIGHT, TURN THE

HEAT DOWN AS LOW AS YOU WANT TO.

OH, THAT'S SWEET.

THANK YOU, BABY.

THANK YOU. THAT IS SO SWEET.

AHH.

OOH!

STOP ACTING LIKE YOU OLD.

AND DRIED UP.

AND UNDESIRABLE.

I WASN'T EVEN THINKING THAT

UNTIL YOU JUST SAID IT.

UNCLE CURTIS, MALIK HAS

SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT?

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

OH, MAN. COME ON.

MORE DETENTION SLIPS.

YEP.

MALIK, MALIK, MALIK.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH YOU?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT MY DADDY

WOULD DO.

HE'D BEND ME OVER HIS KNEE,

NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER TWO, HE WOULD SHOW HIS

BELT TO ME FACE-TO-FACE.

NUMBER THREE, HE WOULD HIT ME...

* WITH PRECISION! *

...TILL HE HEARD A LOUD POPPING

SOUND DOWN THE STREET.

AND THEN YOU HAVE TO REPEAT

THE STEPS...

* AS NECESSARY *

YOU KNEW MY DADDY?

ANYWAY, YOUR DADDY'S ON THIS

NEW -- THIS ALTERNATIVE

PUNISHMENT -- "WE GOT TO KISS

THE KIDS EVERY TIME THEY DO

BAD."

BUT I'M NOT!

SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS I'M

GONNA ADD TO YOUR PUNISHMENT.

HUH? HUH? WHAT DID YOU SAY?

YOU HEARD ME?

I'M GONNA ADD TO YOUR

PUNISHMENT.

FROM NOW ON, YOU GOT YOUR CHORES

AND JAZMINE'S CHORES.

YE-A-AH!

[ LAUGHS ]

NOW, WHAT YOU GOT TO SAY

ABOUT THAT?

COOL. THAT'S GREAT.

[ STAMMERS ]

I THINK YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR

DADDY.

I THINK YOU RIGHT.

SO, POPS, YOU KNOW YOUR SHIFT

IS OVER, RIGHT?

BUT THAT'S OKAY.

I'M GONNA STAY RIGHT HERE UNTIL

THAT MENOPAUSE MESS IS OVER.

WELL, YOU MIGHT BE HERE A

LONG TIME, CHIEF.

MY AUNT HAD IT TILL THE DAY SHE

DIED.

HOW OLD WAS SHE?

41. MY UNCLE KILLED HER.

HE JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT

ANYMORE.

YEAH, I REMEMBER WHEN MY MOM

WAS GOING THROUGH MENOPAUSE.

WAS IT DIFFICULT?

AT FIRST.

BUT WHEN WE GOT HER OFF THE

ROOF...

[ WHISTLES ]

[ IMITATES EXPLOSION ]

...WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE

PROBLEMS.

HMM.

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE DOING

SOMETHING.

YOU SHOULD.

SINCE MOM IS HOT ALL THE TIME,

TAKE HER TO A GROCERY STORE, AND

SHE CAN STAND IN THE FROZEN-FOOD

SECTION.

AND WHILE YOU'RE THERE, PICK UP

THESE GROCERIES FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, CHIEF, YOU COULD

ALWAYS ASK ANGEL WHAT SHE

THINKS.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

ANGEL!

HEY, CHIEF, WHAT'S UP?

HEY, HEY, HEY.

LOOK HERE, BABY.

UH, YOU IS A WOMAN, RIGHT?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

YEAH, YEAH, YOU'RE A WOMAN.

YES, YOU'RE A WOMAN.

UM, SO YOU KNOW ABOUT WOMEN'S

STUFF, YOU KNOW, AS A WOMAN.

LOOK, HOW LONG DOES THIS

MENOPAUSE THING LAST?

I DON'T KNOW.

EVERY WOMAN'S DIFFERENT.

BUT CRAZY SEEMS TO BE THE

COMMON DENOMINATOR.

NO, SILLY.

SOME WOMEN DON'T EVEN HAVE

SYMPTOMS AT ALL.

WELL -- WELL, TELL ME THIS.

WILL ELLA EVER WANT TO -- YOU

KNOW -- AGAIN?

I DON'T KNOW.

PERO SI USTED LA ABRAZA

SUAVECITO, ELLA NO VA A...PARA

SIEMPRE.

SAID "Sí."

SHE SAID "Sí."

SEE, "Sí" -- "Sí" MEANS "YES."

SEE, I KNOW THAT.

I SPEAK A LITTLE --

"Sí" IS "YES." "Sí" IS YES.

SHE SAID "Sí."

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

OKAY, CEASE. CEASE.

I'M TELLING YOU, THAT'S "B".

HEY.

HEY.

HERE'S SOME MORE DETENTION

SLIPS.

OKAY, OKAY, I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

CURTIS, GIVE ME YOUR BELT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING

ABOUT, BABY!

THE BELT?

YES!

YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW, BIG

HEAD.

THE BELT IS A TERRIBLE THING

TO WASTE.

HERE YOU ARE.

MALIK...

MALIK, THAT IS THE LINE, AND YOU

HAVE CROSSED IT!

Both: "THE LINE"?!

MALIK, GIVE ME MY DOGGONE

BELT!

THIS SAYS RIGHT HERE THAT YOU

GOT DETENTION FOR NOT TURNING IN

YOUR HOMEWORK.

WHAT IS GOING ON?!

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GONNA TELL YOUR FATHER TAKE

YOU OUT OF THAT SCHOOL AND JUST

PUT YOU IN MILITARY SCHOOL.

THAT WILL GET HIM.

YEAH, THAT --

NO, PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME OUT

OF SCHOOL.

PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME OUT OF

SCHOOL.

I WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE

MISS JAMISON ANYMORE.

I THOUGHT YOU WAS OVER HER.

I LIED.

SO WHUP ME NOW.

YOU HEARD HIM, UNCLE CURTIS.

GIVE AUNTIE ELLA THE BELT.

WHUP HIM.

GET HIM, BABY.

I'M SAVING UP TO BUY HER A

RING.

BUT ONE DAY -- ONE DAY -- SHE

WILL BE MRS. PAYNE.

OOH-HOO!

THAT BOY IS CRAZY!

GOT GOOD TASTE, THOUGH.

MALIK, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR

MIND?

YES!

YES, I HAVE LOST MY MIND.

I'M CRAZY.

I MEAN, EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY

EYES, I SEE HER FACE.

MISS JAMISON.

[ SIGHS ]

MISS JAMISON.

MISS JAMISON.

YOU GET ANOTHER DETENTION,

THE NEXT TIME YOU OPEN YOUR

EYES, YOU'RE GONNA SEE MY BELT.

MY BELT.

MY BELT!

THIS IS CRAZY.

I KNOW SHE THINKS MY FAMILY IS

CRAZY.

ONE CHILD STEALS RATS --

HEY, IT WAS NOT A RAT.

IT WAS A HAMSTER, AND I SAVED

IT.

AND THE OTHER CHILD GETS

DETENTION ON PURPOSE!

WHAT -- WHERE YOU ALL GET THIS

FROM?!

JANINE'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY.

YOU KNOW THAT.

HEY, YOU GOT ANY MORE DETENTION

SLIPS?

NO.

NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY, NONE

OF MY TEACHERS WILL GIVE ME

DETENTION.

I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT KISSING

MISS JAMISON.

BOY, YOU ARE CRAZY.

WELL, I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT

I DIDN'T DO IT.

WELL, GOOD.

NICE TO KNOW YOU HAVEN'T TOTALLY

LOST IT.

YEAH. BUT HE'S REAL CLOSE.

WE GONNA GO TO THAT SCHOOL,

AND YOU GONNA APOLOGIZE TO HER.

NO. NO, I'M NOT.

I CAN'T STAND HER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YESTERDAY, YOU WAS IN LOVE WITH

HER.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE PICKED SOMEBODY ELSE AS

HALL MONITOR.

[ SMOOCHING ]

FORGET YOU, JAZMINE.

SHE WASN'T THAT CUTE, ANYWAY.

HMM.

YOU BETTER GET YOUR EYES

CHECKED.

THAT WOMAN IS FINE!

All: GET OUT!

I WAS GOING TO GET SOME

WATER-- I'M THIRSTY.

YOU AIN'T THE BOSS OF ME.

THIS IS MY HOUSE!

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, ELLA.

EVENTUALLY, THERE WILL BE NO

MORE CRAMPS, NO MORE BLOATING,

AND NO MORE AUNT FLOW.

AMEN TO THAT. AMEN TO THAT.

[ HORN BLOWS ]

[ LAUGHTER ]

OOH. OOH, OOH, OOH.

I THINK I'M HAVING MY OWN

PERSONAL, PRIVATE SUMMER RIGHT

NOW.

THAT'S WHY I MADE THESE

DRINKS.

MENOPAUSE MOJITOS.

DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH.

IT WILL SNEAK UP ON YOU.

WOW.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I AM GOING

THROUGH MENOPAUSE THIS SOON.

OH, PLEASE.

ELLA, HONEY, SOME WOMEN GO

THROUGH PREMATURE MENOPAUSE AS

EARLY AS THEIR 20s.

UNH-UNH. REALLY?

YEAH.

BUT FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT.

WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE OUR

SANCTIFIED SOUL SISTER, ELLA, AS

SHE GOES THROUGH THIS RITE OF

PASSAGE WITH A HOT-FLASH BASH.

MM, WHOO!

* HALLELUJAH! *

* HALLELUJAH! *

* HALLELUJAH! *

[ Off-key ] * HALLELUJAH! *

YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS DO MISS

THAT NOTE.
