miles to lula. It's 110 in the shade.

Oh, yes, it is. You've
met my daughter, delightful, haven't you?

Well, sister,

103
00:06:33,665 --> 00:06:38,300
being that brother bud
wasn't a "wegular" member of the church,

104
00:06:38,302 --> 00:06:42,570
I was hoping you'd tell me a
little something about your late husband...

105
00:06:42,572 --> 00:06:45,239
That, uh, I can include
in my "wemarks."

106
00:06:45,241 --> 00:06:47,407
Um, it doesn't have to
be anything fancy.

107
00:06:47,409 --> 00:06:51,677
Just in your own
words, what kind of man was brother bud.

108
00:06:52,813 --> 00:06:56,514
Well... he was mean.

109
00:06:56,516 --> 00:07:00,251
- Mean.
- Mean as a snake.

110
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:03,687
- I see.
- And surly.

111
00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:05,855
Surly.

112
00:07:05,857 --> 00:07:10,860
Sister, I didn't know
brother slocumb well,

113
00:07:10,862 --> 00:07:15,030
but to me,
he seemed a quiet man.

114
00:07:15,032 --> 00:07:17,265
A man
of inner strength.

115
00:07:17,267 --> 00:07:21,669
A man that knew his own mind,
kept his own counsel...

116
00:07:21,671 --> 00:07:24,271
And was at peace
with the world.

117
00:07:24,273 --> 00:07:26,773
A wise, noble, gentle man.

118
00:07:26,775 --> 00:07:31,544
Well, that's 'cause you
didn't know him till he got old and sick,

119
00:07:31,546 --> 00:07:35,247
but he was mean
and he was right surly.

120
00:07:37,117 --> 00:07:39,684
Sister, in my experience,

121
00:07:39,686 --> 00:07:43,821
it's best to remember
the happier times.

122
00:07:43,823 --> 00:07:46,757
Well, they were few
and far between.

123
00:07:47,259 --> 00:07:51,327
Let me explain
something to you, reverend.

124
00:07:51,329 --> 00:07:53,529
After my two boys
were born,

125
00:07:53,531 --> 00:07:56,298
I decided I wanted to
go back to church.

126
00:07:56,300 --> 00:08:00,468
And one time we went up
to a revival meeting,

127
00:08:00,470 --> 00:08:02,470
and I got saved.

128
00:08:02,472 --> 00:08:08,209
I was
so happy, I came rushing back to tell bud.

129
00:08:08,211 --> 00:08:09,543
He hit the ceiling.

130
00:08:09,545 --> 00:08:12,712
Cursed me out like I'd never
been cursed out by anybody.

131
00:08:12,714 --> 00:08:17,483
I said, "bud, we're talking
about your immortal soul here."

132
00:08:17,485 --> 00:08:20,886
"And if you don't take yourself
up to that revival meeting,

133
00:08:20,888 --> 00:08:23,655
your soul is gonna
be in danger forever."

134
00:08:23,657 --> 00:08:26,224
He wasn't having
any part of it.

135
00:08:26,226 --> 00:08:31,495
So, I said, "well, if that's
the way you feel about it,

136
00:08:31,497 --> 00:08:34,764
I'm just gonna cut you off
altogether."

137
00:08:34,766 --> 00:08:36,465
I-I beg your pardon?

138
00:08:36,467 --> 00:08:41,536
Not
so much as a warm handshake in 20 years.

139
00:08:41,538 --> 00:08:44,972
Well, except
for that one time.

140
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:58,351
Well, I believe
I have all the information I'm gonna need.

141
00:08:58,353 --> 00:09:00,653
All right.

142
00:09:04,858 --> 00:09:07,925
I just don't know
what I'm gonna say.

143
00:09:07,927 --> 00:09:10,460
Lord knows how I'm gonna
get through this.

144
00:09:10,462 --> 00:09:14,764
I mean, all our humiliation knowing that
daddy bud up and died...

145
00:09:14,766 --> 00:09:17,933
Knowing that you never made
nothing of yourself, junior.

146
00:09:17,935 --> 00:09:23,204
Never. Lord knows it's
gonna be sad sittin' there thinking how...

147
00:09:23,206 --> 00:09:26,273
Daddy bud died knowing
we had to sell everything...

148
00:09:26,275 --> 00:09:32,345
To move into that god-awful trailer to
pay off that big ol' dream of yours.

149
00:09:33,981 --> 00:09:35,847
Maybe you oughta set
that to music, charisse.

150
00:09:35,849 --> 00:09:38,916
I mean, that sure
should bring a tear to everybody's eye.

151
00:09:38,918 --> 00:09:42,119
I believe I was just
stating the facts, junior.

152
00:09:42,121 --> 00:09:45,122
I loved him too.
He was like my own daddy.

153
00:09:45,124 --> 00:09:47,257
Mom, he kicked me.

154
00:09:47,259 --> 00:09:48,992
And you know
something else, junior?

155
00:09:48,994 --> 00:09:54,097
I was just sitting here thinking to myself,
your family never loved me.

156
00:09:54,099 --> 00:09:57,633
Never! They're just lookin'
down on us right now...

157
00:09:57,635 --> 00:10:01,236
Just having
themselves a good ol' laugh... ha ha ha!

158
00:10:01,238 --> 00:10:07,208
Whoever thought of a machine
that cleans parking lots? I mean, really!

159
00:10:07,210 --> 00:10:10,711
All our money
just right down the crapper.

160
00:10:10,713 --> 00:10:12,612
Whoosh!
Just gone.

161
00:10:12,614 --> 00:10:15,848
What?
Damn it, boy!

162
00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:19,484
Damn shoe! Now, look,
walk around with one on your foot now!

163
00:10:19,486 --> 00:10:22,019
You know what?

164
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:25,156
I could have been
a professional, you know.

165
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:27,124
I had talent.

166
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:30,527
Talent?

167
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:34,297
Oh, and let me tell you
something else, Mr. Funny man.

168
00:10:34,299 --> 00:10:40,536
I could have been lap-tied to your cousin,
Teddy Wayne slocumb,

169
00:10:40,538 --> 00:10:43,105
and been the wife
of the lawyer.

170
00:10:43,107 --> 00:10:45,540
Keep pushing it,
charisse.

171
00:10:45,542 --> 00:10:48,109
But oh, no,
I couldn't think about myself.

172
00:10:48,111 --> 00:10:53,714
Uh-uh. I had to listen to my
foolish heart... and get married to a fool.

173
00:10:53,716 --> 00:10:57,784
A dreamer that just spent
all our money on his dream.

174
00:10:57,786 --> 00:11:01,287
- I'm gonna kill us, charisse.
- Oh, please.

175
00:11:01,289 --> 00:11:04,290
I'm gonna kill us.
I'm gonna kill us.

176
00:11:04,292 --> 00:11:05,891
You ain't gonna kill nobody.

177
00:11:05,893 --> 00:11:07,926
I'm gonna kill us!
I'm gonna kill us!

178
00:11:07,928 --> 00:11:11,763
I'm gonna kill us!

179
00:11:19,538 --> 00:11:21,638
Shut up!
Just shut it up!

180
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,375
Shut up! Just shut
it up! All right?

181
00:11:25,377 --> 00:11:28,111
My daddy just died.
Can you understand that?

182
00:11:28,113 --> 00:11:30,613
My daddy just died,
I'm 33 years old,

183
00:11:30,615 --> 00:11:33,983
I'm dead broke, I got no money, no job, no
prospects,

184
00:11:33,985 --> 00:11:37,119
three kids, and worst of all, I'm married
to you.

185
00:11:37,121 --> 00:11:39,821
Now just shut it up!
Just shut up!

186
00:11:39,823 --> 00:11:43,591
Whoo! I swear
my hand before god,

187
00:11:43,593 --> 00:11:48,062
you say one more
word about parking lots, I will kill you.

188
00:11:48,064 --> 00:11:50,697
And me too.
You got that?

189
00:11:50,699 --> 00:11:53,666
Do you got that?

190
00:11:58,606 --> 00:12:03,175
You have to get
a job and buy some bullets first, junior.

191
00:12:03,177 --> 00:12:06,244
Put that thing away.

192
00:12:06,246 --> 00:12:08,613
Put it away!

193
00:12:08,615 --> 00:12:12,783
How dare you pull that out
in front of these kids!

194
00:12:13,886 --> 00:12:17,520
Now you know your
daddy was just playing. He really love us.

195
00:12:17,522 --> 00:12:22,458
He love us. You know daddy just
goes through a little something sometimes.

196
00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:25,694
Isn't that right, baby?

197
00:12:25,696 --> 00:12:27,962
Y'all play nice now.

198
00:12:33,802 --> 00:12:37,937
Ray bud, I'm trying to make your
daddy's funeral arrangements in here.

199
00:12:37,939 --> 00:12:40,572
Okay, right now I'm guessing that ray bud's
mother and sister...

200
00:12:40,574 --> 00:12:45,243
Will probably be riding in the
hearse with the body, so tell Antoine...

201
00:12:45,245 --> 00:12:47,478
Oh, he does?

202
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,782
Well, what if one of
us drove it? Ray bud's a real good driver.

203
00:12:51,784 --> 00:12:54,317
Tell her we'll just toss him
on the back of the truck.

204
00:12:54,319 --> 00:12:57,019
Listen, honey, I'm gonna
have to let you go, okay?

205
00:12:57,021 --> 00:12:59,855
I got family comin' and not a thing to eat
in this house.

206
00:12:59,857 --> 00:13:02,691
So, I'll just stop by later
this afternoon, okay?

207
00:13:02,693 --> 00:13:06,394
And we'll work
out the rest of the details then, okay?

208
00:13:06,396 --> 00:13:09,730
Okay. Okay.

209
00:13:09,732 --> 00:13:12,099
Okay.
Thanks, merline.

210
00:13:12,101 --> 00:13:16,636
What the hell
you thanking her for? The damn thieves!

211
00:13:20,274 --> 00:13:20,905
Ray!

212
00:13:20,907 --> 00:13:24,909
Whoever thought of the term "grave robber"
had Antoine and merline's calendar...

213
00:13:24,911 --> 00:13:27,945
Hanging on
their wall. Now, ray, let's just stay calm.

214
00:13:27,947 --> 00:13:29,613
Look, I'll find your shirt.

215
00:13:29,615 --> 00:13:31,982
What's my daddy doing
down at depew's, anywa?

216
00:13:31,984 --> 00:13:33,416
The slocumbs have always
gone to Patterson's.

217
00:13:33,418 --> 00:13:38,287
Well, you know, I thought that was strange
too, but depew's is what your mama wanted.

218
00:13:38,289 --> 00:13:40,122
It's revenge.
That's what it is.

219
00:13:40,124 --> 00:13:42,624
He's got me where he wants. What are you
talking about?

220
00:13:42,626 --> 00:13:45,827
Antoine depew. Remember fourth grade
when he peed his pants?

221
00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:47,361
"P.u. Here comes depew."
You started that?

222
00:13:47,363 --> 00:13:50,497
I started it, and it followed him all the
way through high school.

223
00:13:50,499 --> 00:13:52,866
Ray, now you're starting
to talk a little crazy now.

224
00:13:52,868 --> 00:13:56,669
You know how I feel about funerals,
Lucille. I don't like funerals.

225
00:13:56,671 --> 00:13:58,637
People coming up to you,
wanting to know what you feel.

226
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:03,508
It doesn't make a difference what people
think. Honey, listen to me.

227
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:07,712
It's all right, okay?
Just relax.

228
00:14:07,714 --> 00:14:09,680
I know how hard
this is for you.

229
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:12,149
I know you had your problems
with your daddy, but...

230
00:14:12,151 --> 00:14:17,988
We're family, and we're
gonna get through this together, okay?

231
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:20,690
Okay.
Mm, there you go.

232
00:14:20,692 --> 00:14:23,192
And speaking of family,
your aunt Marguerite...

233
00:14:23,194 --> 00:14:26,328
Volunteered to spend
the night with your mama, isn't that good?

234
00:14:26,330 --> 00:14:29,864
That's good.
Good. And, um...

235
00:14:29,866 --> 00:14:33,300
Junior, charisse and the kids
are gonna stay here with us.

236
00:14:33,302 --> 00:14:35,702
No! No! No!
Ray bud, he's your brother.

237
00:14:35,704 --> 00:14:38,237
No. I'm not gonna
have junior and them mess around here.

238
00:14:38,239 --> 00:14:41,106
They can go stay at a motel.
They can't afford a motel.

239
00:14:41,108 --> 00:14:43,675
Did I hold a gun to his head,
mortgage his house...

240
00:14:43,677 --> 00:14:45,443
And blow all that money
on that pipe dream?

241
00:14:45,445 --> 00:14:49,647
Now you shouldn't talk about your brother
like that, ray bud. He tried so hard.

242
00:14:49,649 --> 00:14:52,316
Face it, Lucille.
He's an idiot, okay?

243
00:14:52,318 --> 00:14:55,452
I'm not gonna sit here
and listen to charisse running her mouth.

244
00:14:55,454 --> 00:14:57,554
And them children
are demon-possessed.

245
00:14:57,556 --> 00:14:59,789
We'll talk about it tonight.
Here's your lunch.

246
00:14:59,791 --> 00:15:03,926
But don't forget, you gotta
stop by the shoe store. Size ten-d, okay?

247
00:15:03,928 --> 00:15:07,896
I'll remember,
Lucille, okay? Good.

248
00:15:07,898 --> 00:15:09,230
And ray?

249
00:15:09,232 --> 00:15:11,532
We're not gonna have
any problems, are we?

250
00:15:11,534 --> 00:15:14,601
No, Lucille,
we're not gonna have any problems. Good.

251
00:15:14,603 --> 00:15:16,903
You just
do me one favor. What's that?

252
00:15:16,905 --> 00:15:19,238
When I die,
don't tell nobody.

253
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,841
Bury me out in the backyard
and tell everyone I left you.

254
00:15:26,179 --> 00:15:28,546
<i>Layin' in the arms
of a mother.</i>

255
00:15:28,548 --> 00:15:30,548
<i>And like
a cool wind blowin'.</i>

256
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:35,686
<i>In the middle
of the burning summer</i> ♪

257
00:15:38,957 --> 00:15:42,925
Tariq, what is that
in your mouth? What is wrong with you?

258
00:15:42,927 --> 00:15:47,129
Gimme that! Let it go! Let the
boy eat it.

259
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,867
- J-Junior?
- What?

260
00:15:52,869 --> 00:15:56,237
- What is this?
- I don't know.

261
00:15:56,239 --> 00:16:00,808
Junior, this looks
like a woman's earring, but it ain't mine.

262
00:16:00,810 --> 00:16:02,709
Junior!
What?

263
00:16:02,711 --> 00:16:06,846
- Whose is it?
- Oh, baby, I don't know that.

264
00:16:06,848 --> 00:16:12,885
Oh, you don't know. You
want me to help you remember? Is that it?

265
00:16:24,898 --> 00:16:27,765
Ray bud!
Yeah.

266
00:16:30,436 --> 00:16:32,636
Yeah.

267
00:16:33,138 --> 00:16:36,272
It's all just a mystery,
ain't it?

268
00:16:38,843 --> 00:16:42,044
Life and death.

269
00:16:42,046 --> 00:16:46,615
Yes, it is, Clyde.
Yes, it is.

270
00:16:48,752 --> 00:16:51,819
Ain't no easy thing
losing your daddy.

271
00:16:52,488 --> 00:16:55,155
Yeah, he's the one that
taught you how to bait that first hook,

272
00:16:55,157 --> 00:17:00,593
whooped that ass to teach you right
from wrong, bought you your first beer.

273
00:17:00,595 --> 00:17:02,895
It's the good things
we remember.

274
00:17:02,897 --> 00:17:06,932
Yep. I oughta get back
to this carburetor.

275
00:17:06,934 --> 00:17:10,101
We're not
just a garage, ray.

276
00:17:10,103 --> 00:17:11,836
We're family.

277
00:17:11,838 --> 00:17:13,904
Back when you wasn't nothing
but a drunken bum,

278
00:17:13,906 --> 00:17:17,240
didn't show up
for work half the time, we stood by you.

279
00:17:17,242 --> 00:17:21,811
Paid your bills,
lied to your wife. That's what families do.

280
00:17:21,813 --> 00:17:25,981
And I, uh, sure am grateful
for that, Clyde.

281
00:17:25,983 --> 00:17:30,785
Course, now I wouldn't let
Antoine and merline depew...

282
00:17:30,787 --> 00:17:33,220
Bury my dog,
much less my daddy.

283
00:17:33,222 --> 00:17:36,389
So, if you have any
problems whatsoever,

284
00:17:36,391 --> 00:17:39,024
you just give us a call.

285
00:17:39,026 --> 00:17:41,292
Thank you, Clyde.
I gotta get back.

286
00:17:41,294 --> 00:17:43,927
Now, if, uh,

287
00:17:43,929 --> 00:17:45,595
you just say the word,

288
00:17:45,597 --> 00:17:49,865
Antoine and merline will be paying more
in hearse repair...

289
00:17:49,867 --> 00:17:52,133
Than they make in a year.

290
00:17:52,135 --> 00:17:55,136
Thank you, Clyde.
I'll keep that in mind.

291
00:17:55,138 --> 00:17:57,738
Clyde's.

292
00:17:57,740 --> 00:18:02,042
Ray bud,
it's your cousin, Royce.

293
00:18:03,912 --> 00:18:06,212
This is ray.

294
00:18:07,381 --> 00:18:09,614
Where are you?

295
00:18:09,616 --> 00:18:11,282
Well, what did he say?

296
00:18:11,284 --> 00:18:14,184
He say he'd be on his way
as soon as he could.

297
00:18:14,186 --> 00:18:17,120
You just do this
to torture me, don't you?

298
00:18:17,122 --> 00:18:21,958
Yeah, mama, I siphoned out all that gas so you
and me could spend some more time together.

299
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,028
You're a demon, Royce, you know that? I
swear to god you're the devil incarnate.

300
00:18:26,030 --> 00:18:29,431
Look, mama, just keep
your drawers on, all right?

301
00:18:29,433 --> 00:18:31,399
Ray bud say he be here
as soon as he could.

302
00:18:31,401 --> 00:18:34,201
And believe me,
he can't get here fast enough to suit me.

303
00:18:34,203 --> 00:18:40,006
So, let's just sit here
and be quiet for a while, okay?

304
00:18:46,614 --> 00:18:49,381

Ahem.
Yes.

326
00:20:12,254 --> 00:20:15,255
Well, we have a number
of wonderful plans.

327
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:18,925
Let me just take you
through just a few of them.

328
00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:21,327
We have
the eternal life package.

329
00:20:21,329 --> 00:20:25,497
Seventeen hours
of unbelievable torment.

330
00:20:25,499 --> 00:20:28,066
Crying out
in unbearable agony.

331
00:20:28,068 --> 00:20:33,704
Would it kill you to do
one thing to please me, huh?

332
00:20:33,706 --> 00:20:35,205
It looks that way, mama.

333
00:20:35,207 --> 00:20:37,340
Ever since you got
fired from that sewage plant,

334
00:20:37,342 --> 00:20:39,642
you've been hanging out
with that bad crowd.

335
00:20:39,644 --> 00:20:42,745
Well, you're gonna
end up just like your brother, aren't you?

336
00:20:42,747 --> 00:20:44,580
Oh, mama, come on now.
Leave levar out of this!

337
00:20:44,582 --> 00:20:47,516
Maybe they'll put you in a cell
right next to him up there in parkersville.

338
00:20:47,518 --> 00:20:54,122
The two of you can play on your harmonicas
and beat on the bars with your tin cups.

339
00:20:54,757 --> 00:20:57,824
I don't got time
for this. You hear me talkin' to you, boy.

340
00:20:57,826 --> 00:20:59,759
You
wait up and come back here! Mama, look.

341
00:20:59,761 --> 00:21:03,295
There's a filling station not more
than two miles down this road, all righ?

342
00:21:03,297 --> 00:21:05,130
I'm gonna
walk and get some gas. I'll be right back.

343
00:21:05,132 --> 00:21:09,300
Well, go on get your gas. If I'm lucky, I'll
pass out here in the middle of the road.

344
00:21:09,302 --> 00:21:13,804
And some big semi come roll
over my head and that'll be the end of it.

345
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:16,506
You just walk
and get your gas!

346
00:21:20,411 --> 00:21:25,447
All right, mama, all right.
What do you wanna talk about?

347
00:21:25,449 --> 00:21:27,282
What are you gonna do
with yourself, Royce?

348
00:21:27,284 --> 00:21:29,884
Them unemployment checks
are not gonna come forever, you know.

349
00:21:29,886 --> 00:21:34,388
Have you thought about that? Have you
thought about your future?

350
00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:38,024
Life is not just drinkin'
and dancin' and a bunch of loose women.

351
00:21:38,026 --> 00:21:41,827
- Life is not a good time.
- Yeah, well, you're livin' proof of that.

352
00:21:41,829 --> 00:21:43,595
Boy, if you don't watch your mouth, you
gonna... whoo!

353
00:21:43,597 --> 00:21:48,399
You better straighten up and fly right. You're
gonna end up dancin' on a bed of hot coal.

354
00:21:48,401 --> 00:21:51,835
You better come up with a plan, and you
better come up with it soon.

355
00:21:51,837 --> 00:21:54,604
- I got a plan.
- Well, what is it? Where is it?

356
00:21:54,606 --> 00:21:58,975
Look, mama, you right, okay? Them unemployment
checks ain't gonna keep comin' in.

357
00:21:58,977 --> 00:22:00,810
You don't think
I think about that, but I do.

358
00:22:00,812 --> 00:22:05,714
And when they do stop coming in,
I'm gonna go ahead and find me a nice gal.

359
00:22:05,716 --> 00:22:09,617
A good Christian gal.
Go ahead and settle down.

360
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:11,085
Cut all this foolishness.

361
00:22:11,087 --> 00:22:15,456
Mama, I know you always
wanted grandbabies. You always said that.

362
00:22:15,458 --> 00:22:20,194
I think I'll go and
have me a couple kids, one or two of them.

363
00:22:22,331 --> 00:22:25,198
So I can get on welfare.

364
00:22:26,401 --> 00:22:28,067
Welfare?

365
00:22:28,069 --> 00:22:30,502
Is that your plan?
Yep, that's about it.

366
00:22:30,504 --> 00:22:35,940
You wanna know
what I say to that?

367
00:22:51,122 --> 00:22:55,491
Now, look here. Them folding
chairs aren't really part of your package,

368
00:22:55,493 --> 00:22:58,126
but I guess I'll throw them in
this one time. Thanks, merline.

369
00:22:58,128 --> 00:23:02,029
And could you bring back those funeral
wrappers first thing in the morning?

370
00:23:02,031 --> 00:23:05,198
- Okay. Bye.
- Bye-bye.

371
00:23:10,872 --> 00:23:14,206
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Oh!

372
00:23:19,179 --> 00:23:22,480
I have people coming.

373
00:23:22,482 --> 00:23:23,781
What am I gonna do?

374
00:23:23,783 --> 00:23:28,118
I hope mama raynelle
don't mind corn dogs.

375

<i>You'll not leave her by.</i>

382
00:23:55,077 --> 00:23:56,709
What about this one?

383
00:23:56,711 --> 00:23:59,545
I don't care, mama.
Whatever you want.

384
00:23:59,547 --> 00:24:02,080
Well, I like
the diplomat, myself.

385
00:24:02,082 --> 00:24:05,450
Who cares what you like, Satan? Give it
here. G-Give it here!

386
00:24:05,452 --> 00:24:07,051
I don't see where it
really matters anyway.

387
00:24:07,053 --> 00:24:10,621
Oh, it does matter. What
you gonna do, put him out in a pine box?

388
00:24:10,623 --> 00:24:14,858
Well, of course
not, aunt Marguerite. Corn dog, mama ray?

389
00:24:14,860 --> 00:24:16,526
No, thank you.

390
00:24:16,528 --> 00:24:20,796
You're a lying, dirty man.
Get out!

391
00:24:21,031 --> 00:24:24,499
Junior, is charisse
feeling all right?

392
00:24:24,501 --> 00:24:27,134
Um, well, I think
she is, Lucille.

393
00:24:27,136 --> 00:24:29,402
You know,
sometimes she gets these sick headaches.

394
00:24:29,404 --> 00:24:32,872
Oh, that's too bad. You want a corn dog?
Yeah.

395
00:24:32,874 --> 00:24:34,907
Oh, yeah.
Thank you, Lucille.

396
00:24:34,909 --> 00:24:37,009
You're welcome.
Take a napkin.

397
00:24:37,011 --> 00:24:39,578
Mm-hmm. All right.
Okay.

398
00:24:42,983 --> 00:24:45,883
Thanks, Lucille.
Y'all decide on anything?

399
00:24:45,885 --> 00:24:47,784
Mama's just thinking
about some of the models.

400
00:24:47,786 --> 00:24:51,521
You know, I say we go with
the heavenly express.

401
00:24:51,523 --> 00:24:52,688
Oh, you do, do you?

402
00:24:52,690 --> 00:24:57,325
- It's pretty.
- It seems kind of pricey to me, mama.

403
00:24:57,327 --> 00:25:00,227
No, no, ray, you can't
be thinking like that.

404
00:25:00,229 --> 00:25:03,997
This is our one and only daddy, and we're
gonna do this the right way.

405
00:25:03,999 --> 00:25:08,634
Me and ray, we're gonna handle this, and we
ain't gonna worry about how much it costs.

406
00:25:08,636 --> 00:25:11,203
- Yeah?
- That's what family's for.

407
00:25:11,205 --> 00:25:13,939
- I'll tell you what I think.
- Ray, you wanna help me...

408
00:25:13,941 --> 00:25:17,142
With some more food
in the kitchen?

409
00:25:20,446 --> 00:25:22,512
I don't mean
to interrupt.

410
00:25:22,514 --> 00:25:24,680
Charisse, how you feeling?

411
00:25:24,682 --> 00:25:28,617
Not well, Lucille. Are my kids driving you
crazy?

412
00:25:28,619 --> 00:25:31,019
Oh, no, honey.
We locked them outside.

413
00:25:31,021 --> 00:25:32,253
Oh!

414
00:25:32,255 --> 00:25:35,422
Get your ass away. Stop banging on the
window before you break it!

415
00:25:35,424 --> 00:25:37,257
I ain't playin'.
Don't make me come out there.

416
00:25:37,259 --> 00:25:39,759
I'll beat your ass
if your daddy won't.

417
00:25:39,761 --> 00:25:44,263
Uh, Lucille, listen.
I didn't bring any of my nerve pills.

418
00:25:44,265 --> 00:25:46,932
Can I borrow
some of yours, please? Oh, sure, honey.

419
00:25:46,934 --> 00:25:49,301
I'll be right back.
Come on, precious.

420
00:25:49,303 --> 00:25:51,169
Junior, get my shoe.

421
00:25:51,171 --> 00:25:53,804
Yes, ma'am.

422
00:26:05,549 --> 00:26:08,349
That's it.
There you go, sweetie.

423
00:26:09,018 --> 00:26:12,152
I'm sorry to
hear you're not feeling well, charisse.

424
00:26:12,154 --> 00:26:14,687
Mama ray, I'm the one
that's sorry.

425
00:26:14,689 --> 00:26:18,957
Because I know what it feels
like to watch something that you love...

426
00:26:18,959 --> 00:26:25,096
Just shrivel up and die
right before your very eyes.

427
00:26:25,098 --> 00:26:26,230
It's sad.

428
00:26:26,232 --> 00:26:29,199
Here you go, charisse honey.
I brought you a double dose.

429
00:26:29,201 --> 00:26:31,134
Thank you.
You are a comfort.

430
00:26:31,136 --> 00:26:35,271
- You're welcome.
- Now, come on, honey, we should just go...

431
00:26:35,273 --> 00:26:36,939
And lay you down
so you can just rest.

432
00:26:36,941 --> 00:26:42,344
Maybe you're right.
I am feeling a little faint.

433
00:26:42,346 --> 00:26:44,679
There you go.

434
00:26:45,448 --> 00:26:47,915
Whoo! Did I
just drop something?

435
00:26:47,917 --> 00:26:50,117
Charisse.

436
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,519
I believe
it's your earring.

437
00:26:52,521 --> 00:26:55,555
This is not mine, Lucille.

438
00:26:55,557 --> 00:26:58,190
Everybody, take a look
at this earring.

439
00:26:58,192 --> 00:27:03,795
I would never,
ever wear something so cheap and tawdry.

440
00:27:03,797 --> 00:27:08,266
Charisse, honey, you might wanna be
laying down when them nerve pills kick in.

441
00:27:08,268 --> 00:27:09,967
Now come on.
Come on, charisse.

442
00:27:09,969 --> 00:27:14,271
Mm-hmm. Gonna take just
a little thought, junior,

443
00:27:14,273 --> 00:27:16,573
'cause I know I know
who owns this earring.

444
00:27:16,575 --> 00:27:19,609
Okay,
come on. All it takes is a little thought.

445
00:27:19,611 --> 00:27:23,479
'Cause I'm gonna find out
who it is. Uh-huh.

446
00:27:23,481 --> 00:27:26,381
I could have married
the rich slocumb, Teddy Wayne.

447
00:27:28,385 --> 00:27:31,219
My vote's in for
the heavenly express.

448
00:27:31,221 --> 00:27:33,054
Heavenly express it is.

449
00:27:33,056 --> 00:27:36,123
Now, can we get to the subject
of the headstone,

450
00:27:36,125 --> 00:27:37,524
before we all fall dead?

451
00:27:37,526 --> 00:27:40,059
I'm sure you got something
to say about it, Marguerite.

452
00:27:40,061 --> 00:27:42,428
I think it would be nice
to have some scripture...

453
00:27:42,430 --> 00:27:44,329
On the headstone.

454
00:27:44,331 --> 00:27:47,532
And my first thought
was ecclesiastics,

455
00:27:47,534 --> 00:27:48,866
chapter 2, verse 16.
Aunt Marguerite, please.

456
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:53,937
"For there is no remembrance of the wise
more than of the fool."

457
00:27:53,939 --> 00:27:57,140
"Aunt Marguerite! Seeing that which now
is in the days to come."

458
00:27:57,142 --> 00:27:58,374
No, no, no.
No, what?

459
00:27:58,376 --> 00:28:02,044
That would
be good. We can use some of that, mama.

460
00:28:02,046 --> 00:28:05,313
Could we just slow down a little bit? Now,
mama, Antoine said...

461
00:28:05,315 --> 00:28:08,215
For the price of the stone,
we get daddy's date of birth,

462
00:28:08,217 --> 00:28:10,050
his name
and date of departure.

463
00:28:10,052 --> 00:28:11,885
- Anything else is extra.
- How much, ray?

464
00:28:11,887 --> 00:28:14,954
- Two dollars a letter.
- How many words over there, aunt Marguerite?

465
00:28:14,956 --> 00:28:19,458
That little bit of Bible
ain't gonna cost that much.

466
00:28:19,460 --> 00:28:22,427
Whatever it is, it's a damn sight more than
you'll kick in, junior.

467
00:28:22,429 --> 00:28:27,665
So, what you saying, ray? Hmm?
You saying I ain't gonna pay my fair share?

468
00:28:27,667 --> 00:28:29,967
It's easy for you to come
and shoot your big mouth off.

469
00:28:29,969 --> 00:28:34,371
"Throw daddy a big funeral." You
think he would have done the same for you?

470
00:28:34,373 --> 00:28:37,107
- Yes, I do.
- Well, you're dreaming.

471
00:28:37,109 --> 00:28:39,209
This is the last time
to show daddy we loved him.

472
00:28:39,211 --> 00:28:42,879
All you can do is sit up there
and talk about how much it's gonna cost.

473
00:28:42,881 --> 00:28:45,281
Not everybody thinks about
money all the time, ray.

474
00:28:45,283 --> 00:28:47,683
Some of us don't think about
money any of the time.

475
00:28:47,685 --> 00:28:49,985
That's why some of
us don't have two nickels to rub together.

476
00:28:49,987 --> 00:28:53,488
I saw that new used truck you
got out there. You think I ain't seen that?

477
00:28:53,490 --> 00:28:57,225
I heard about the trip
you took Lucille to swamp world last year.

478
00:28:57,227 --> 00:28:58,960
You think
I ain't heard about that? What about it?

479
00:28:58,962 --> 00:29:03,331
You think I wouldn't want to take
my kids so they can ride on them rides?

480
00:29:03,333 --> 00:29:04,732
What about that, ray?
What about it?

481
00:29:04,734 --> 00:29:08,035
Why don't you take those
little monsters out to the parking lot?

482
00:29:08,037 --> 00:29:10,937
Let 'em ride around on that
little invention of yours, whatever it is.

483
00:29:10,939 --> 00:29:13,339
So, now my kids
is monsters, huh? Yeah, they're monsters.

484
00:29:13,341 --> 00:29:16,909
You talk about my machine too. Why you
gotta bring my kids into this?

485
00:29:16,911 --> 00:29:21,546
You know what? At
least I got kids. Oh, you're a tough guy.

486
00:29:21,548 --> 00:29:24,815
- I'm gonna bite you, sucker!
- Fool!

487
00:29:24,817 --> 00:29:26,116
No, I don't think so.

488
00:29:26,118 --> 00:29:29,385
- Let me go so I can kick your ass!
- Come on! Come on!

489
00:29:29,387 --> 00:29:32,955
- You want some of this?
- Don't let him do that to you.

490
00:29:32,957 --> 00:29:37,125
- Let me go so I can...
- Ray! Junior!

491
00:29:37,127 --> 00:29:40,428
Ray! Ray!

492
00:29:40,430 --> 00:29:43,631
Stop it, stop it, stop it!

493
00:29:43,633 --> 00:29:48,569
Stop it!
Stop, don't move at all!

494
00:29:57,012 --> 00:30:00,279
Come here, Royce.

495
00:30:04,485 --> 00:30:09,554
I want you to take this down
to Antoine's, and I want you to tell him...

496
00:30:09,556 --> 00:30:15,226
That this is what I want
on my husband's headstone.

497
00:30:16,429 --> 00:30:18,228
Just 12 letters.

498
00:30:18,230 --> 00:30:20,730
My wallet's
in the kitchen.

499
00:30:20,732 --> 00:30:23,666
This will stay between us,
right, Royce?

500
00:30:23,668 --> 00:30:25,968
Yes, ma'am.

501
00:30:27,871 --> 00:30:30,671
I'm just gonna
get some air.

502
00:30:32,307 --> 00:30:35,608
Don't say anything
to me.

503
00:30:42,083 --> 00:30:44,383
Sorry, mama.

504
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,619
Ray! Mama ray?

505
00:30:47,621 --> 00:30:51,522
I cannot believe you grown boys are acting
like this...

506
00:30:51,524 --> 00:30:53,524
At a time when your mother
is going through this.

507
00:30:53,526 --> 00:30:57,828
My brother, bud, would
have been so upset. And you, demon seed,

508
00:30:57,830 --> 00:30:59,796
acting like you can't hear me
when I'm talking.

509
00:30:59,798 --> 00:31:04,167
You're gonna show me that note.
I can't believe this.

510
00:31:04,702 --> 00:31:08,403
Come on, boy. Okay.
Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

511
00:31:08,405 --> 00:31:11,339
You're a real tough guy,
ain't ya?

512
00:31:17,413 --> 00:31:20,714
"Mean and surly."

513
00:31:21,516 --> 00:31:24,083
Damn!

514
00:31:24,085 --> 00:31:28,987
<i>I'll stand even when.</i>

515
00:31:28,989 --> 00:31:32,357
Yeah, okay, okay,
aunt Marguerite.

516
00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:35,393
Oh, she's doing fine.

517
00:31:35,395 --> 00:31:37,528
Yeah, okay,
I'll hook that one up.

518
00:31:37,530 --> 00:31:42,666
Yeah, okay, I'll hook
that one up. Right.

519
00:31:45,804 --> 00:31:48,839
Well...

520
00:31:48,841 --> 00:31:51,675
Good night, junior.

521
00:31:52,244 --> 00:31:54,010
Good night, Lucille.

522
00:31:54,012 --> 00:31:56,712
<i>Put it all in your hand.</i>

523
00:31:56,714 --> 00:32:01,783
<i>And just stand.</i>

524
00:32:01,785 --> 00:32:07,555
<i>Stand even when
nights seem cold.</i>

525
00:32:07,557 --> 00:32:08,989
Hey, ray.

526
00:32:08,991 --> 00:32:12,726
<i>When you can't feel
your soul.</i>

527
00:32:12,728 --> 00:32:17,764
<i>When your thoughts
won't seem to go away.</i>

528
00:32:17,766 --> 00:32:19,499
<i>Go away</i> ♪

529
00:32:19,501 --> 00:32:22,201
Got yourself
a little taste, man.

530
00:32:26,540 --> 00:32:28,039
Yep.

531
00:32:28,041 --> 00:32:31,742
Thought you told Lucille
you quit.

532
00:32:32,711 --> 00:32:35,244
Well, you know how I lie.

533
00:32:39,116 --> 00:32:41,583
Sure is hot out here
tonight, ray.

534
00:32:45,288 --> 00:32:46,954
Damn, man, it's hot, ray.

535
00:32:46,956 --> 00:32:50,424
Reminds me of that time...
Sit down, junior.

536
00:33:01,837 --> 00:33:04,971
Mm. Ahh!

537
00:33:05,573 --> 00:33:09,741
Thanks, ray.
Sure do appreciate this.

538
00:33:12,879 --> 00:33:16,747
Sure is funny how things
work themselves out sometimes, ain't it?

539
00:33:16,749 --> 00:33:22,319
Oh, yeah, I
just laugh myself to sleep every night.

540
00:33:26,158 --> 00:33:28,825
Look, here, ray.
You know, uh,

541
00:33:28,827 --> 00:33:31,594
I didn't mean none of that stuff I said up
in there.

542
00:33:31,596 --> 00:33:36,932
I-I was real sorry
to hear that Lucille lost that last baby.

543
00:33:38,268 --> 00:33:42,970
I guess she was all tore up
about that, man.

544
00:33:54,049 --> 00:33:57,583
I wish she'd
just quit trying.

545
00:33:58,352 --> 00:34:01,886
'Cause last time
was the absolute worst.

546
00:34:03,990 --> 00:34:06,824
The doctor told her
if she didn't wanna lose it,

547
00:34:06,826 --> 00:34:10,060
she'd have to lay
flat on her back and not move for nothing.

548
00:34:10,062 --> 00:34:16,066
So, we talked about it,
made a decision to give it one more shot.

549
00:34:16,068 --> 00:34:19,369
She went to bed. I went to rexall to get
a prescription filled.

550
00:34:19,371 --> 00:34:23,773
Get her a bedpan. Got one of those chicken
buckets...

551
00:34:23,775 --> 00:34:25,975
In case she had to
go while I was gone.

552
00:34:25,977 --> 00:34:31,180
Took a little longer
than I expected, man. And when I got back,

553
00:34:31,182 --> 00:34:33,549
she had lost it
and didn't even know it.

554
00:34:33,551 --> 00:34:37,886
She lost it
in a chicken bucket, ray?

555
00:34:38,421 --> 00:34:42,089
A chicken bucket, junior.

556
00:34:44,927 --> 00:34:48,061
Damn, ray.

557
00:34:48,063 --> 00:34:53,266
That's gotta be the
most god-awful story I've ever heard, man.

558
00:34:53,268 --> 00:34:56,068
Yeah, it was
pretty bad, man.

559
00:35:01,275 --> 00:35:06,578
I was sort of sorry
to hear about your business going under.

560
00:35:06,580 --> 00:35:09,948
Well, thank you, ray.

561
00:35:19,025 --> 00:35:22,993
So, uh, you gonna
tell me or not?

562
00:35:25,997 --> 00:35:29,465
I don't know,
ray, it just kind of happened, you know.

563
00:35:29,467 --> 00:35:33,302
I-I was at the shopwell
parking lot giving them a free cleaning.

564
00:35:33,304 --> 00:35:35,337
You know,
sort of as a sample.

565
00:35:35,339 --> 00:35:36,971
And there was this girl, man,

566
00:35:36,973 --> 00:35:39,273
she started loading stuff
in the back of her car,

567
00:35:39,275 --> 00:35:40,974
and we sort of struck up
this conversation.

568
00:35:40,976 --> 00:35:45,845
So, I started telling her about
the machine, how it worked.

569
00:35:45,847 --> 00:35:47,947
She seemed
real interested, man.

570
00:35:47,949 --> 00:35:52,518
I mean, here I was, sittin' on top
of this big piece of machinery.

571
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,420
You know, sort of
the master of it.

572
00:35:55,422 --> 00:35:59,724
And here was this woman...
Starin' up at me.

573
00:35:59,726 --> 00:36:02,126
Smilin' at me.

574
00:36:02,895 --> 00:36:06,363
You know, makin' me
feel like a man, ray.

575
00:36:06,565 --> 00:36:12,535
I was in business, ray. I was a
businessman, and I had control of my life.

576
00:36:12,537 --> 00:36:14,436
What happened?

577
00:36:14,438 --> 00:36:17,138
Charisse showed up.

578
00:36:17,140 --> 00:36:19,206
She was lookin'
all hot and sweaty...

579
00:36:19,208 --> 00:36:22,809
With all them damn kids
just hangin' off of her, man,

580
00:36:22,811 --> 00:36:24,243
screamin' for a popsicle.

581
00:36:24,245 --> 00:36:27,713
You know what
she wanted to talk about?

582
00:36:27,715 --> 00:36:29,047
She wanted to talk about
the house payment.

583
00:36:29,049 --> 00:36:34,719
Talk about the car payment. Talk
about the kids needin' this and that, ray.

584
00:36:34,721 --> 00:36:38,522
And all the time
she was up there talking, man,

585
00:36:38,524 --> 00:36:41,491
I watched that woman pack up
the rest of her stuff...

586
00:36:41,493 --> 00:36:44,293
And just drive away.

587
00:36:44,662 --> 00:36:50,732
And all of a sudden, ray, I got this strong
desire to just...

588
00:36:50,734 --> 00:36:55,236
Run charisse over
with that machine, man.

589
00:36:57,607 --> 00:37:00,341
So, what happened
with the woman, junior?

590
00:37:02,712 --> 00:37:04,578
Oh, bernice Talbot.

591
00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:08,315
- Bernice Talbot?
- Oh, yeah.

592
00:37:08,317 --> 00:37:10,517
Bernice with the...

593
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:12,819
Oh, yeah, two.

594
00:37:23,931 --> 00:37:26,031
So, what you gonna d?

595
00:37:26,033 --> 00:37:29,267

00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:16,914
These is my twins right here...
Latanya and lasanya.

753
00:48:16,916 --> 00:48:20,183
Oh, you are so lucky to have
those precious babies.

754
00:48:20,185 --> 00:48:23,519
Ladies, just find some
space on the counters, wherever you can.

755
00:48:23,521 --> 00:48:26,188
And this is tomeka.
She's from my second marriage.

756
00:48:26,190 --> 00:48:31,226
Excuse
me. Has anybody seen my sister-in-law? No.

757
00:48:31,228 --> 00:48:34,295
Oh, lord, why
is he gone? Why is he gone?

758
00:48:34,297 --> 00:48:38,432
Why can't it just all be
the way it used to be?

759
00:48:38,434 --> 00:48:41,735
Oh, daddy bud!

760
00:48:41,737 --> 00:48:44,104
Oh, lord, the baby!
Charisse!

761
00:48:44,106 --> 00:48:46,940
Come on, charisse.
Charisse!

762
00:48:46,942 --> 00:48:49,042
Oh, I got her.
You got her?

763
00:48:49,044 --> 00:48:51,344
Charisse,
come on now!

764
00:48:51,346 --> 00:48:53,546
Pull yourself together!
Oh!

765
00:48:53,548 --> 00:48:55,314
Oh, child, I got you!

766
00:48:55,316 --> 00:48:59,318
Come on.
Let's go to the restroom and freshen up.

767
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,953
After I gave him his
injection, irrigate him for about an hour,

768
00:49:01,955 --> 00:49:05,122
I usually set him
on the porch to watch the sun go down...

769
00:49:05,124 --> 00:49:06,389
While I get supper ready.

770
00:49:06,391 --> 00:49:09,125
I got to be careful. One time
I got to talkin' on the phone...

771
00:49:09,127 --> 00:49:13,863
And left him out there for over an
hour, mosquitoes damn near ate his butt up.

772
00:49:13,865 --> 00:49:17,399
Are you gettin'
anything, norval?

773
00:49:17,401 --> 00:49:21,169
I had the same problem
when my daddy passed away, man.

774
00:49:21,171 --> 00:49:25,006
I guess it was something about seeing him
laid up like that,

775
00:49:25,008 --> 00:49:27,341
just made me realize, man,
he was really gone.

776
00:49:27,343 --> 00:49:30,577
Wasn't no going back.
He was gone forever.

777
00:49:30,579 --> 00:49:32,912
That's real consoling,
Royce.

778
00:49:32,914 --> 00:49:34,146
Yeah, man.

779
00:49:34,148 --> 00:49:39,050
You know,
he look really good, ray, for a dead man.

780
00:49:40,553 --> 00:49:44,221
Hey, hey, hey,
y'all seen charisse? Uh, yeah.

781
00:49:44,223 --> 00:49:46,189
Lucille just dragged her off
to the toilet.

782
00:49:46,191 --> 00:49:49,258
Shoot. I mean, I went all the way down to
the thing...

783
00:49:49,260 --> 00:49:51,760
To get the Pepsi for her.

784
00:49:52,562 --> 00:49:54,762
Oh, wow!

785
00:49:54,764 --> 00:49:56,563
Go on.
Look at that there, ray.

786
00:49:56,565 --> 00:49:58,965
I don't wanna see him.
No, he look dead, man.

787
00:49:58,967 --> 00:50:01,133
He does.
You need to look at him.

788
00:50:01,135 --> 00:50:02,901
I'm sure he does,
junior.

789
00:50:02,903 --> 00:50:06,004
Um, I'll just leave
you two fellas here...

790
00:50:06,006 --> 00:50:08,039
So y'all can do
y'all thing, you know?

791
00:50:08,041 --> 00:50:12,510
Hey, ray, I think it helps
to just try and remember the good times.

792
00:50:12,512 --> 00:50:15,813
Thank you,
Royce. All right? If you can remember any.

793
00:50:15,815 --> 00:50:19,149
You know?
I'll be out back if you need me.

794
00:50:19,151 --> 00:50:22,619
Well, there it is, ray.
Look at it.

795
00:50:22,621 --> 00:50:24,988
Come on, ray, it's death.
No.

796
00:50:24,990 --> 00:50:26,856
Look at the grim reaper
in the eye.

797
00:50:26,858 --> 00:50:29,158
He's starin' you in the face.
Stare at him back.

798
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,529
No, junior. Junior.
Come on, ray.

799
00:50:33,531 --> 00:50:36,265
Oh, damn, ray.

800
00:50:36,267 --> 00:50:37,933
You don't look too good.

801
00:50:37,935 --> 00:50:41,903
Get me outta here.
Let's go. Come on.

802
00:50:44,307 --> 00:50:48,375
How come daddy got on
them dancing shoes?

803
00:50:48,377 --> 00:50:49,876
Charisse?

804
00:50:49,878 --> 00:50:53,913
Yes?
Honey, we're getting backed up out here.

805
00:50:56,951 --> 00:50:58,684
I'll be right there.

806
00:50:58,686 --> 00:51:02,487
Okay, hurry up.
She'll be right out.

807
00:51:03,389 --> 00:51:07,324
Hello, honey.
Oh, hi!

808
00:51:14,232 --> 00:51:17,233
Out of the way.
Gotta go. Hi, mom.

809
00:51:17,235 --> 00:51:21,103
Get outta
this bathroom!

810
00:51:29,079 --> 00:51:32,480
Charisse!
Oh, charisse!

811
00:51:32,482 --> 00:51:38,486
Honey, oh, I'm just
so sorry Teddy Wayne couldn't be here.

812
00:51:38,488 --> 00:51:39,854
Hi. Hello.

813
00:51:39,856 --> 00:51:42,356
Oh, he always loved
his uncle bud so much.

814
00:51:42,358 --> 00:51:44,825
But his law practice
is doing so well,

815
00:51:44,827 --> 00:51:48,128
it just keeps him busy
day and night.

816
00:51:48,130 --> 00:51:50,230
What a shame.

817
00:51:50,232 --> 00:51:54,667
Mama ray
must be all tore up. We better find her.

818
00:51:57,872 --> 00:52:02,608
I can do this.

819
00:52:02,610 --> 00:52:04,943
I can do this.

820
00:52:05,712 --> 00:52:08,045
I can't do this.

821
00:52:19,090 --> 00:52:21,657
Course, supper's
his big meal of the day.

822
00:52:21,659 --> 00:52:23,992
But it's always a gamble
if he's gonna keep it down.

823
00:52:23,994 --> 00:52:27,528
After I give him
his evening medication and put him to bed,

824
00:52:27,530 --> 00:52:29,496
he usually sleeps
through the night.

825
00:52:29,498 --> 00:52:31,331
Course, I don't get
much rest myself,

826
00:52:31,333 --> 00:52:33,566
'cause I gotta turn him
every couple of hours.

827
00:52:33,568 --> 00:52:38,170
Mm,
I know. You're just so lucky to have him.

828
00:52:39,339 --> 00:52:41,572
I know.

829
00:52:42,741 --> 00:52:44,540
I know.

830
00:52:44,542 --> 00:52:46,909
Where-where do you want
this jell-o?

831
00:52:46,911 --> 00:52:49,544
Um... over there.

832
00:52:49,546 --> 00:52:56,450
You know, it's a shame it takes something
this sad to bring us all together again.

833
00:52:58,687 --> 00:53:02,088
Charisse, do you remember
when Lucille was part of my royal court...

834
00:53:02,090 --> 00:53:05,291
- When I was elected candied yam queen?
- No.

835
00:53:05,293 --> 00:53:07,826
Was that when I was dating
Teddy Wayne?

836
00:53:07,828 --> 00:53:12,530
Juanita, you know what?
That was such a long time ago.

837
00:53:13,366 --> 00:53:15,065
It is good to know...
Thank you...

838
00:53:15,067 --> 00:53:17,901
That we can come together
like this in a time of sadness.

839
00:53:17,903 --> 00:53:21,304
You are so right, Lucille.
So right.

840
00:53:21,306 --> 00:53:23,539
Mm-mmm.

841
00:53:24,875 --> 00:53:28,109
Now, what can I do
to help?

842
00:53:28,111 --> 00:53:32,413
- Break a nail.
- Um, honey, why don't you,

843
00:53:32,415 --> 00:53:34,348
go out there
and make everybody happy?

844
00:53:34,350 --> 00:53:37,484
- You're really good at that.
- So sweet of you, Lucille.

845
00:53:37,486 --> 00:53:40,920
Thank you. I will.
I'll do my best.

846
00:53:43,324 --> 00:53:45,424
Aunt Marguerite, hi!

847
00:53:45,426 --> 00:53:51,696
I could have been married to
that Teddy Wayne slocumb if I wanted to.

848
00:53:51,698 --> 00:53:55,566
Oh,
Lucille, I could have been rich and stupid.

849
00:53:55,568 --> 00:53:59,836
I would be good at it.
But look at me. Look at me.

850
00:53:59,838 --> 00:54:05,942
Who am I now?
I'm poor and foolish in a trailer.

851
00:54:05,944 --> 00:54:07,610
What happened to me?

852
00:54:07,612 --> 00:54:11,113
Honey, now, don't you pay
no attention to her.

853
00:54:11,115 --> 00:54:14,516
She just thinks she's happy.

854
00:54:14,518 --> 00:54:16,185
Delightful, sweetie,

855
00:54:16,187 --> 00:54:18,187
why don't you grab
that big bowl over there?

856
00:54:18,189 --> 00:54:21,023
Sweetie, be real careful with it
'cause it was my mother's.

857
00:54:21,025 --> 00:54:23,825
But, Lucille!
You're all right now.

858
00:54:31,634 --> 00:54:33,000
Thank you,
juanita, baby.

859
00:54:33,002 --> 00:54:35,369
So, aunt Marguerite, are you
still working with your church groups?

860
00:54:35,371 --> 00:54:39,673
Yes, honey. I'm the vice president
of the ladies African missionary auxiliary.

861
00:54:39,675 --> 00:54:42,075
Baby, get that rag,
wipe off over there.

862
00:54:42,077 --> 00:54:44,844
Oh, my god.
Delightful?

863
00:54:44,846 --> 00:54:47,646
Y'all go on in the front
because the food ain't out yet.

864
00:54:47,648 --> 00:54:49,547
The food will be out
in about 15 minutes.

865
00:54:49,549 --> 00:54:52,616
Is charisse still in there?
Excuse me.

866
00:54:52,618 --> 00:54:58,755
Charisse? Come on, baby, people
out here are beginning to talk about you.

867
00:54:58,757 --> 00:55:03,192
You not going to stay in there
all night, is you, charisse?

868
00:55:03,194 --> 00:55:06,094
Baby?

869
00:55:06,096 --> 00:55:08,362
Now you know you
the only woman for me.

870
00:55:08,364 --> 00:55:12,699
I knew that the first time
we went out. You remember that night...

871
00:55:12,701 --> 00:55:16,969
That we went down to the dairy whiz
and I bought you that grape fizzy cream,

872
00:55:16,971 --> 00:55:18,403
you know, the one you like?

873
00:55:18,405 --> 00:55:22,106
We sat out on that sofa that your pops
had out in the front yard...

874
00:55:22,108 --> 00:55:25,609
And talked about our future
and feeling so good,

875
00:55:25,611 --> 00:55:29,079
like,
like we had our whole lives ahead of us.

876
00:55:29,081 --> 00:55:32,282
Oh, baby, you know
I ain't good at this,

877
00:55:32,284 --> 00:55:38,488
but, I don't know, standing out in
that parking lot, I guess I lost my head.

878
00:55:38,490 --> 00:55:41,924
So now I'm praying that...

879
00:55:41,926 --> 00:55:44,293
You might maybe
want to take me back.

880
00:55:44,295 --> 00:55:50,599
Because if I learned one thing from you,
charisse, is that I am nothing without you.

881
00:55:50,601 --> 00:55:56,538
Okay, baby?
You are my world, charisse,

882
00:55:56,540 --> 00:55:59,774
and I love you.

883
00:55:59,776 --> 00:56:03,177
Oh, charisse, baby.

884
00:56:03,179 --> 00:56:05,546
I love you too, junior.

885
00:56:05,548 --> 00:56:09,216
You could of told me
it was you, Royce.

886
00:56:28,770 --> 00:56:32,271
Well, at least
it was quick. Mm-hmm.

887
00:56:32,273 --> 00:56:36,108
That's the best way, quick.
You don't want to linger.

888
00:56:36,110 --> 00:56:39,010
Tha-that'd be awful.

889
00:56:39,012 --> 00:56:40,411
Quick.

890
00:56:40,413 --> 00:56:42,713
Yeah, that's the way
I want to go... quick.

891
00:56:42,715 --> 00:56:45,782
Car crash, bolt of lightning.

892
00:56:45,784 --> 00:56:50,686
Piano... hitting
you on the head. That's what I want.

893
00:56:50,688 --> 00:56:54,289
That's what I want
for you, Clyde.

894
00:56:54,291 --> 00:56:56,391
Yeah, me too.

895
00:56:56,393 --> 00:57:02,063
God, you and I both know
there ain't nothing in this liquor store...

896
00:57:02,065 --> 00:57:04,465
That can help me
or the ones I love.

897
00:57:04,467 --> 00:57:07,034
So if you could figure out
a way to get this car started...

898
00:57:07,036 --> 00:57:12,406
Before I reach for this
door handle, I sure would appreciate it.

899
00:57:13,909 --> 00:57:15,508
Evening, ray.

900
00:57:15,510 --> 00:57:18,811
Reverend. Mrs. Hooker.
How are you?

901
00:57:18,813 --> 00:57:23,849
We're about to go over to depew's and
visit with your family for a little while.

902
00:57:23,851 --> 00:57:26,885
You want to follow us
over there?

903
00:57:26,887 --> 00:57:29,854
You bet, reverend.

904
00:57:30,990 --> 00:57:34,324
Okay.

905
00:57:35,894 --> 00:57:42,598
Thank you, god.

906
00:57:55,646 --> 00:57:57,979
Oh, hey, bernice.
So, uh,

907
00:57:57,981 --> 00:58:02,483
have you seen Royce? Uh, no, honey. Not
in a while.

908
00:58:02,485 --> 00:58:05,018
Well, um, I hope y'all
can you use this.

909
00:58:05,020 --> 00:58:07,887
Well, thank you, bernice.

910
00:58:10,925 --> 00:58:14,059
Ooo, that's awful.
Oh! No, uh-uh.

911
00:58:14,061 --> 00:58:17,762
We're about to start
real soon, merline, okay?

912
00:58:17,764 --> 00:58:20,030
We're about to start
real soon, all right?

913
00:58:20,032 --> 00:58:21,231
Oh, delightful,
honey, do me a favor.

914
00:58:21,233 --> 00:58:25,568
Take and put this somewhere up in the
kitchen up high where can't nobody get to it.

915
00:58:25,570 --> 00:58:30,472
Whoo! That's just
a bowl full of funk. That's bernice's dish.

916
00:58:30,474 --> 00:58:34,909
- Is that bernice Talbot?
- Uh-huh.

917
00:58:35,745 --> 00:58:38,112
She looks a god-awful
mess. Well, she ain't... charisse.

918
00:58:38,114 --> 00:58:43,684
Never been no prize to nobody, and you
know she'll lift that skirt up for anybody.

919
00:58:43,686 --> 00:58:44,551
Poor thing.

920
00:58:44,553 --> 00:58:49,522
I saw her not two weeks
ago, staggering out some old Cadillac...

921
00:58:49,524 --> 00:58:53,158
With her blouse on backwards
and one earring hanging off.

922
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,527
Just tacky.

923
00:58:55,829 --> 00:58:58,563
- All right, y'all...
- Has anybody seen charisse?

924
00:58:58,565 --> 00:59:02,567
Let's get started, okay?
You know, I think we oughta get started.

925
00:59:02,569 --> 00:59:04,135
Bernice Talbot?

926
00:59:04,137 --> 00:59:05,936
What did I say?
Charisse. Now, honey,

927
00:59:05,938 --> 00:59:09,773
there are a lot of people...
My husband done did it...

928
00:59:09,775 --> 00:59:13,510
To that child
in the shopwell parking lot?

929
00:59:13,512 --> 00:59:15,945
Lord, take me now!

930
00:59:15,947 --> 00:59:21,116
People, don't pay her no mind,
she just likes attention.

931
00:59:21,118 --> 00:59:23,952
All right, y'all...
Will you quit harping on that?

932
00:59:23,954 --> 00:59:26,187
Get up before you
make your dress dirty.

933
00:59:26,189 --> 00:59:28,989
All right, come on
y'all. We got a lot of good food up here.

934
00:59:28,991 --> 00:59:34,494
We got baked beans, macaroni and cheese,
some Greens, some yams.

935
00:59:34,496 --> 00:59:37,129
And look, somebody
even brought us some...

936
00:59:41,001 --> 00:59:43,434
Who brought this?

937
00:59:44,603 --> 00:59:47,537
Lucille?
Honey, what's wrong?

938
00:59:49,474 --> 00:59:53,809
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?

939
00:59:54,511 --> 00:59:59,146
Out! Out!
Out! Out!

940
01:00:00,549 --> 01:00:03,082
Lu-Lucille?
Leave me alone!

941
01:00:03,084 --> 01:00:04,283
Oh, god!
Charisse!

942
01:00:04,285 --> 01:00:08,020
Come on out of here. Don't nobody care
about your husband and bernice Talbot.

943
01:00:08,022 --> 01:00:10,489
If you don't come out of here,
I'm gon...

944
01:00:10,491 --> 01:00:11,923
I'm gonna sic

945
01:00:11,925 --> 01:00:17,228
Please, just let me come
in for just a second. Just leave me alone!

946
01:00:17,230 --> 01:00:20,264
You just don't understand!

947
01:00:20,266 --> 01:00:23,467
I don't understand?
I don't understand?

948
01:00:23,469 --> 01:00:25,869
Honey, you think
you're the only one with heartache, huh?

949
01:00:25,871 --> 01:00:28,304
I'll have you know I have a son
in the penitentiary.

950
01:00:28,306 --> 01:00:33,475
You don't see me wallowing on the
flo', hiding up inside somebody's closet.

951
01:00:33,477 --> 01:00:36,778
Well, this closet's taken,
and you can't have it!

952
01:00:36,780 --> 01:00:41,315
Move! Let me
tell you one thing, young lady.

953
01:00:41,317 --> 01:00:44,251
You listen to me.
Like it or not, we are family.

954
01:00:44,253 --> 01:00:48,755
We are the slocumbs,
and we are going to serve this dinner...

955
01:00:48,757 --> 01:00:52,291
With our heads held high
if it kills us.

956
01:00:52,293 --> 01:00:56,662
Now you come on.
You come on outta here!

957
01:00:58,465 --> 01:01:01,098
Come on, people,
get your plates. Take these...

958
01:01:01,100 --> 01:01:05,702
Pass these plates out.
We ain't got all day.

959
01:01:05,704 --> 01:01:10,506
I am so glad you could come,
reverend. Good to see you.

960
01:01:10,508 --> 01:01:15,644
Mrs. Slocumb, I'm so sorry
for you, and I'm glad that I can be here.

961
01:01:15,646 --> 01:01:17,912
I'm just so sorry, ray.

Thank you, Charles.
Thank you.

963
01:01:20,783 --> 01:01:25,285
You know, I had no idea
your daddy was a dancer.

964
01:01:27,055 --> 01:01:30,556
Well, it was a pretty
well-kept secret, Charles.

965

We thank you, lord,
for these blessings.

966
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:38,229
And last but not least, lord, you know the
names of all the men in this room...

967
01:01:38,231 --> 01:01:41,565
Who've done filthy things
with bernice Talbot.

968
01:01:41,567 --> 01:01:44,568
I don't need to repeat
their names, lord,

969

but I could, if I was provoked, amen.
Amen.

970
01:01:48,740 --> 01:01:52,274

Everybody step lively, we have to eat up.

Mama, Antoine
told me what you requested on that stone.

I'm not
having it. It's gonna say, "rest in peace,"

give us a two-dollar credit.

Come on, help me up.

01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:22,292
Can't say I do.

1013
01:05:22,294 --> 01:05:24,894
These were
my embroidery scissors.

1014
01:05:24,896 --> 01:05:28,397
My mother gave them to me
after I married your father.

1015
01:05:28,399 --> 01:05:32,667
I used to do all kinds
of things with these.

1016
01:05:32,669 --> 01:05:37,772
Did all the quilts,
made clothes for you kids.

Just... everything.

1018

And one day
they just up and disappeared.

1019
01:05:43,345 --> 01:05:47,780
I looked everywhere for 'em, I
tore this house up. I never saw them again.

1020
01:05:47,782 --> 01:05:54,286
And yesterday, when I went
looking for your daddy's good cuff links,

1021
01:05:54,288 --> 01:05:57,989
I found them
in with his stuff.

1022
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:04,261
I can't for the life
of me figure out what he wanted with them.

1023
01:06:04,263 --> 01:06:08,465
Never even occurred to
me to ask him if he knew where they were.

1024
01:06:08,467 --> 01:06:10,800
Isn't that funny?

1025
01:06:13,104 --> 01:06:14,570
I guess so, mama.

1026
01:06:14,572 --> 01:06:19,341
It came to me that your father's
like these scissors.

1027
01:06:19,343 --> 01:06:22,377
We didn't lose him
on Wednesday.

Did you love him?

1030
01:06:36,226 --> 01:06:38,993
Did you love him?

1031
01:06:40,062 --> 01:06:45,432
Sometimes I loved him,
sometimes I hated him, mama.

01:19:50,916 --> 01:19:54,183
A man of inner strengths.

1203
01:19:54,185 --> 01:19:57,953
And I believe that...

1204
01:19:57,955 --> 01:20:02,757
Ooh. Now I believe that...

1205
01:20:02,759 --> 01:20:06,494
If he was here today,

1206
01:20:06,496 --> 01:20:10,564
he would send a message
to his family.

1207
01:20:10,566 --> 01:20:13,333
The message would
simp-simply...

1208
01:20:13,335 --> 01:20:16,836
Say...

1209
01:20:16,838 --> 01:20:20,539
Oh, uh-oh.

1210
01:20:25,512 --> 01:20:29,814
Would you all don't
mind just excusin' me for just a minute?

1211
01:20:29,816 --> 01:20:35,052
I'm-I'm gonna be right back.

1212
01:20:36,622 --> 01:20:39,522
Don't bring it over here.

1213
01:20:50,067 --> 01:20:54,536
The reverend always was
a man of few words.

1214
01:20:56,540 --> 01:21:02,010
Baby, it doesn't matter
if we have children or not.

1215
01:21:02,012 --> 01:21:05,179
What? It doesn't matter if we
have a baby.

1216
01:21:05,181 --> 01:21:09,816
You're all I ever
wanted. Oh, ray.

1217
01:21:10,118 --> 01:21:12,918
I hate to break up
this little party,

1218
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,188
but how are we going
to have a funeral if there is no pastor?

1219
01:21:17,190 --> 01:21:20,157
Sit down, Marguerite.
We don't need no pastor.

1220
01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:24,961
We got ray
bud. Go on up there and say a few things.

1221
01:21:24,963 --> 01:21:27,964
Feel that
little door opening.

1222
01:21:27,966 --> 01:21:31,167
Go on, say it for
us. Go on, baby.

1223
01:21:33,304 --> 01:21:36,505
You can do it.

1224
01:21:48,051 --> 01:21:50,184
Aunt Marguerite,
you wanna?

1225
01:21:50,186 --> 01:21:52,186
Oh. Well, thank you, ray.

1226
01:21:52,188 --> 01:21:58,192
Um, there seems to be a
passage here in Isaiah that says, "whoa..."

1227
01:21:58,194 --> 01:22:03,197
Hey, ray.
What about that part from psalms, man?

1228
01:22:03,199 --> 01:22:08,402
The part that goes, uh,
"though my father and mother forsake me...

1229
01:22:08,404 --> 01:22:10,237
"Then the lord
will take me up.

1230
01:22:10,239 --> 01:22:14,107
"Teach me thy way, o lord,
and lead me in a plain path,

1231
01:22:14,109 --> 01:22:18,010
"and let me see the goodness of the lord
in the land of the living.

1232
01:22:18,012 --> 01:22:20,545
"Wait on the lord
and be of good courage,

1233
01:22:20,547 --> 01:22:23,781
"and he shall
strengthen thine heart.

1234
01:22:23,783 --> 01:22:27,351
Wait, I say, on the lord."

1235
01:22:32,658 --> 01:22:35,458
You got it, ray.

1236
01:22:40,264 --> 01:22:43,965
That was real good, Royce.

1237
01:22:43,967 --> 01:22:46,834
That was real good.

1238
01:22:50,005 --> 01:22:51,404
Uh...

1239
01:22:51,406 --> 01:22:56,709
I guess this is the part
where I'm supposed to...

1240
01:22:56,711 --> 01:23:01,146
Tell you all how great a man
my father was.

1241
01:23:01,148 --> 01:23:03,281
Well, I'm not
gonna do that.

1242
01:23:03,283 --> 01:23:07,051
I'm gonna do what
he would've done.

1243
01:23:09,355 --> 01:23:10,854
I'm gonna tell the truth.

1244
01:23:10,856 --> 01:23:16,426
My father was a hard man.
I'm not judging him, I just...

1245
01:23:16,428 --> 01:23:23,499
It's just the facts. Daddy wasn't real big
on soft words.

1246
01:23:25,970 --> 01:23:29,338
And I know
he wasn't good at...

1247
01:23:29,340 --> 01:23:33,342
Expressing what he felt
in his heart.

1248
01:23:34,445 --> 01:23:37,145
So, as I stand here today,

1249
01:23:37,147 --> 01:23:41,582
I can tell you this.

1250
01:23:41,584 --> 01:23:46,486
If I could do one thing
all over again...

1251
01:23:47,922 --> 01:23:52,658
I'd tell my father
I loved him,

1252
01:23:52,660 --> 01:23:56,495
instead of waiting
my whole life...

1253
01:23:56,497 --> 01:23:59,564
For him to tell me first.

1254
01:24:02,635 --> 01:24:06,970
So, as you step up here today...

1255
01:24:06,972 --> 01:24:10,340
To say your last good-bye...

1256
01:24:10,342 --> 01:24:13,643
To woodrow "bud" slocumb...

1257
01:24:15,146 --> 01:24:18,614
I hope you'll open up
the door to your heart.

1258
01:24:18,616 --> 01:24:21,116
I hope you'll take time...
Take a moment...

1259
01:24:21,118 --> 01:24:25,920
To truly consider the folks
in your life that mean something to you.

1260
01:24:25,922 --> 01:24:29,390
Because people
don't last forever.

1261
01:24:30,326 --> 01:24:33,126
They really don't.

1262
01:24:35,697 --> 01:24:38,230
And letting a person in,

1263
01:24:38,232 --> 01:24:43,969
that's the most cherished
treasure this life has to offer.

1264
01:24:44,805 --> 01:24:48,106
So, I'm proud to
stand here today...

1265
01:24:48,108 --> 01:24:51,042
And say that in his own way,

1266

my father taught me that.

1267
01:24:57,116 --> 01:24:58,915
Amen.

1268
01:24:58,917 --> 01:25:02,618
