All right, here's more bread. Anything
else? No, Carl, you still can cook,

Carl, we're fine. Sit down.

Okay, I'll help you.

Hey, Carl, could you get me some more
mac and cheese?

Uh -uh, pump the brakes on that. You
ain't finna be telling my daughter what

do. Get me some more mac and cheese. She
ain't none of your maids. Just a

friend. Bread is my gift. It's okay.

Well, I guess you can get it yourself.

Don't be like that.

Carl, while you're in there, give me the
hot sauce. Just like this.

Mr. Brown, why can't you get the hot
sauce yourself?

Because Cora's going to get it. Cora, I
need the hot sauce. I need the hot

sauce.

You know what? I don't understand why
Cora and I have to do all the work

here.

Now, don't you go start messing with the
laws of nature, party.

It is a woman's duty to take care of her
man.

Is that why you still live with your
mama?

I don't live with my mama. She lives
with me.

In her house?

Well, it's only temporary.

Okay, here you are. Until I find the
right girl.

Nothing.

You better keep looking, because the
only girl around here is Brianna, and

can't date until she's Carver's age,
which is about... Mr. Branch!

I was going to say 20 and 10, though.
He's talking about it.

Oh, okay. Don't worry about it. Your
father is just playing dumb.

Ain't nobody playing.

Yes, give me some more of these rolls,
Cora.

Mm, I'll take one. Yeah, it's only two
left. I'll take them, too, both of them.

I don't want to alarm anybody, but am I
the only one that sees a little lady at

this table?

Where?

That's Miss Daisy.

Daisy! There you are.

Oh, hello. We were so scared. Hi. You're
a chicken.

I'm done.

Now, wait a minute. Let me get this
straight.

You share a cave with a little Bigfoot
here, and you were scared.

I smell the soul food, and you know I
like me some grits.

You didn't know that Daisy was here?

No, I was doing my hair, then all of a
sudden she just disappeared.

That's shocking.

That Daisy should sneak off undetected?

No, that you can get a cone through that
rolled up nest on your head.

Is that your breath?

Cora, this gobbler is the best.

That's because of my secret ingredient.

Oh, so what's your secret ingredient?

Nutmeg?

Brown sugar?

No, extra peaches.

You know, I don't think anything can
make it better except a little ice cream

the side.

Oh, it's coming in the freezer.

Oh, good.

Ain't you going to get it?

Oh, sure, sure.

And maybe some coffee?

Well, I'll have to make you some instant
coffee.

Well, I didn't think it was going to
make itself, Cora.

But hurry up. I don't want to miss the
previews. Oh, well.

Um, phone.

What? Wait.

Wait a minute. Hello?

Oh, it's your mother.

No, I'm eating.

Oh, he says he's eating.

Oh, she said she figured that.

It's an emergency, she said.

Okay, fine.

Hey, Mama.

Yes, light starts.

And don't forget to put the crease in my
jeans.

Okay.

When I get there.

Okay.

You know good and well that ironing is
woman's work.

What? Well, what else is woman's work?

Uh, everything that's not man's work.

Are we ready yet?

Looks like it is.

You want to bring it to me?

Your legs broke?

No.

Do you want them to be?

I told you to stop playing, Cora.

You must be reading that I Want to Be
Alone magazine.

You're going to mess around and make us
late.

No, you're going to make us late.

I'm not even in the mood to go to a
movie now, Reggie.

What?

But you're supposed to drive.

I'm not going.

This is the thanks I get for trying to
show you a nice time?

This is a nice time?

What? What?

I see that I'm not appreciated around
here.

Then I'm out of here. Bye.

Have I been reading a loan magazine? You
don't want to be a loan actor like

that. Would you please give me a ride
home?

I need to drive.

Call your mama to pick you up. Who's
calling mama?

Bye.

Mama!

I bet Billy Dee would have got his own
coffee.

Hey, Cora.

Oh, hey, Sasha.

Where's your boo, Reg?

He's at home with his mama.

What happened?

I thought the two of you were going out
to the movies.

Reggie and I had an argument.

What kind of man expects a woman to wait
on him hand and foot?

The kind that's breathing.

Oh, Will doesn't do that. Well, not
anymore.

Honey, that's because I broke him.

Reggie's already broke.

Laura, honey, you have been single for
way too long.

Okay, listen to me.

Men mean well, but they're really like
lumps of clay.

You mowed Will?

Of course I did.

But the trick is that you have to make
him think that it's their idea.

Well, maybe you're right, Sasha. Of
course I'm right, Cora.

Oh, well, thanks.

Hey, Cora. You like the way Will
dresses?

Yes. Will dresses nice.

Girl, that's because I taught that man
how to dress.

Listen, poor Mr. Brown. He had to fend
for himself.

And we both know how that turned out.

Laura, look, baby, my point is that you
got to work with your man.

Work with my man? Work with your man.

Well, I think it's easier just to kick
him out of a moving vehicle.

Well, I slowed down a little.

Look, I'm too much like Madea.

I don't have the patience for all of
this. And how long has Madea been

I get your point.

Come see, come see, baby. Let me school
you.

Let me school you, baby. Okay, listen.

The next time Reggie asks you to do
something, don't lift a finger.

Why not?

A good woman takes care of her man.

Well, honey, Will is very well taken
care of, okay?

But the point is that you're just too
nice.

I am not too nice. Could you go out and
get the mail?

Oh, sure.

See, that's what I'm talking about.

Why? For I could have gotten the mail
myself. I was closer to the door.

I was just trying to be nice.

Treat Reggie like he's garbage?

You do that, and you will be on your way
to a well -balanced relationship that

you control.

I get it. I get it.

I'm coming.

But knocking on the door like that.

Oh, hey, Colonel, you can come in, but
you got to tie your horse up outside.

Why don't you go find your neck, you
little weasel?

You bet you want a good old fat apple.
So, Brown, what's up?

Oh, I called you over here because I got
a call from Daisy's cousin, Lorraine.

She'll be here any minute now.

What cousin?

Daisy doesn't have any relatives?

What idiot told you that?

Daisy?

I'm ready for my close.

I rest my case.

Oh, I told you, I don't like when people
just come. Everybody keeps...

We don't want no American.

I'm Daisy's cousin, Lorraine.

I finally got here.

Oh, come on in. We were just about to
have her put down.

Oh, don't listen to him.

I'm Edna.

And this is the Colonel.

How do you do?

And you must be Brown.

Yes. Oh, I've heard a lot about you.

Oh, and you must be... I heard nothing
about you. She ain't said nothing.

Daisy and I grew up together.

Well, yes, good.

You were together, yes. Grew up
together, good, all that good stuff. I'm

Thank you.

Um, tell me.

Hmm? Where is my cousin, you colorful
little man?

I know you just didn't call me color.

When you're talking about my clothes,
I'm about to get upset.

Here she is.

Lorraine? Daisy!

Oh, look at... Oh, Daisy, I love that
frock.

Why is she dressed like a peacock? I
don't know. Oh,

I haven't seen you since March 29th,
1959.

She made that date up, right?

No, no, that was the day she left for
Hollywood.

Lorraine, sit down right here. Be
comfortable.

Now, why are you dressed like a peacock?
I was working as a cigarette girl.

And Lorraine convinced me that life was
too short and I should go to Hollywood

and become...

I'm going to stop.

So what went wrong with that idea?

My cousin had everything it took to make
it to the top. Look, talent,

determination. So what was missing?

A car.

But she didn't let that stop her.

Daisy took a bus the whole way.

She's really something back in our
hometown.

They even named a street after me. Oh,
really? What's it called?

The Roulette.

Ah, that's right down the street of
washed up in Hasbin Avenue.

So,

um, where do you live now?

Oh, in Palm Beach, Florida.

That's the Lord's waiting room.

Palm Beach. That's where all the stars
go to retire.

And die.

Somebody put this genie back in his
bottle.

I'm trying to make the white lady
disappear.

Palm Beach sounds like a wonderful
place.

That's why I thought it would be a great
place for you to live.

Oh, well, I like living here with my
friends in California.

Daisy, this is Atlanta.

Idiot.

See, you don't even have to take her
nowhere. You just tell her you're

there. Daisy, we're in China.

Now, after all this time, you and I will
finally be able to be roommates.

I know, isn't it, Grand?

Oh, we'll have so much to talk about.

Do you know what happened to George
LaPelle?

Who's George LaPelle?

Oh, he was my high school sweetheart.

And the reason I never married, I could
never find a man as wonderful as he.

Oh. Well, honey, of course I know what
happened to George. Well?

I married him.

You tramp.

Uh -oh, there's going to be a fight.
There's going to be liniment and gray

everywhere. Back up, and I don't want
you to bite nobody.

Come on, fight. Push him.

Okay, here, I'll tell you what. I know
what to give him.

And action. You tricked me.

You tricked me into moving to Hollywood
so you could get your claws into my

sweetheart. I'll tell you what. Knock
this off her shoulder. It wasn't like

at all.

I never want to see you again.

Somebody should be getting whooped right
now.

I'm going to stay here with my friends
in Manhattan.

We're in Australia, Daisy.

And you.

Stop staring at me like I'm some cheap
floozy.

Then we better look at Edna, then.

Look, I brought you some tart lemonade,
just like you always used to like it.

You know, I didn't come here to upset
you, honey.

Oh, why would I be upset?

You just took away everything I ever
wanted.

Um, aren't you being just a little
dramatic?

I'm a diva, darling. That's what we do.

Honey, I didn't steal George from you.
We didn't even get together until after

you'd gone away.

Ever since we were children, you always
had to top me.

If I got a dollhouse, you had to have a
treehouse. If I got horseshoes, you got

a horse.

And when I got teacups, you got teacups.

Well, I am older than you.

Everything except these girls, they're
barely legal.

The point is...

You tricked me into going to Hollywood
so you could steal my man.

It wasn't that way at all. I wanted you
to chase your dream.

Oh, I'll bet you two had an incredible
life together.

Oh, I'll bet you'd be wrong.

George was a cashier in a department
store for a year until he started his

illustrious career as a couch potato.

What? Oh, yeah.

He died on the recliner in our living
room.

It was a day and a half before I even
noticed.

I can't believe it.

Well, believe it. Those jet black curls
of his became kind of a charcoal gray

comb over.

What a shame. They were so beautiful.
Yeah, it really was.

You were the lucky one.

You became Daisy LaRue, star of stage
and screen.

I became...

The widow of a couch potato.

Oh, you poor thing.

So, can you forgive me?

Oh, what for?

Oh.

No,

really, I mean, what for?

Um, Daisy, you want to come live with me
in Palm Beach?

Oh, I don't want to put you out.

Put me out?

George may not have amounted to much
when he was alive, but he left me a

-dollar life insurance policy.

You want to come help me spend it?

Could I have my own room?

You could have your own floor.

I'm in!

Oh, Daisy.

Oh, my God.

Hey.

You're late.

Well, since you refused to pick me up, I
had to get a ride from my mom.

You picked up the bus.

I did.

I can't help it that y 'all live at the
end of her route.

I thought we was having dinner.

We are.

I don't smell no grub.

It's because you're taking me to my
favorite Italian restaurant.

I am so thirsty.

Oh, would you like something to drink?

Yeah. Oh, it's some lemonade in the
kitchen.

Give me some when you go to school.

Carl, what's wrong with you today?

Oh, nothing.

I don't think I like your attitude.

I don't have an attitude.

I'm acting like you.

You are not being cool.

Neither are you.

I'm not your maid, your cook, nor your
servant, Reggie.

Oh, I understand, Cora.

I treat you as good as my mama.

Well, maybe you need to treat your
mother better, then.

That's funny. She said the same thing.

All the way across town.

Reggie, a relationship is by give and
take.

Oh, that's what every woman I ever dated
always said.

I guess this is when you're going to
break up with me.

It doesn't have to be over, Reggie. We
can fix this.

You want to fix it for me?

We can work on this together, Reggie, if
you think it's worth it. I don't think

you're worth it.

I know you're worth it.

How many luggage did that woman have?

Daisy, come on, the cab is here.

What the?

Oh, I

didn't say you had to stop.

You look great. You look stunned.

That too.

Is it raining or something?

Miss Daisy, we're going to miss you so
much. Oh, Sasha, I'm going to miss your

beautiful smile and your kind words.

Oh, you're so sweet. Thank you, Miss
Daisy. Thank you.

Keep in touch, Miss Daisy. Oh, I'll
never forget your beautiful spirit.

You ain't going to remember none of
this.

You've been like a sister to me.

But you look like an uncle to me.

And you've been like a sister. to me.
Oh.

You take care of yourself. You too.

And Colonel, oh, I'll miss your
commanding presence and how, how very

strong you are.

Colonel!

I'm gonna miss you, Daisy.

Pull yourself together crying like a
little old girl.

You gonna miss me too?

Oh. I think I'm going to miss you most
of all, Scarecrow.

You are truly one of a kind.

Oh. You too, you too.

I'll miss the way you mocked me and
called me names, but I know you didn't

a word of it. Most of it, I did.

Oh. You want to go to Africa? Go on back
to Africa. That's where you're going to

go. Africa.

Sweetheart, come on. We don't want to
miss the flight. I'm hosting a singles

mixture tonight at the country club. Oh,
how exciting.

Yes, it is.

And there's a man there that I think you
ought to meet. He thinks he's Clark

Gable, and I don't know if he's taken or
not.

Thank you, my dear.

I don't give a damn.

Well, bye -bye.

Goodbye, everyone.

Oh, I am going to really miss you
people.

Come on, everybody.

Group hug, group hug.

Hey, everybody, guess what I got?

Ugly -eyed.

No, a coupon for some dog biscuits.

No,

it's a postcard, Cora.

Oh, from Miss Davis?

No, no, from Lorraine.

Read it. What's it say?

Okay, it says, um, hey, hey. It's been
great.

It was great meeting you all. We had a
wonderful time. Daisy and I made it to

Florida safely.

Daisy's having a great time seeing and
meeting new friends.

Everything is perfect except one thing.

We haven't seen her in three days.
