- So what happened?

- Well, last night, she said she didn't want anything

to do with Mr. Lindor.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

- Oh my. - That's crazy to me.

- Now where did that come from?

- I have no idea. What was it?

Like five minutes ago she said she was, "In love with the boy."

- [laughs] Well, she seemed like she really liked him.

- That's what I thought. - CORA: Mm.

And now she don't wanna be with him?

- It was a whole shebang-bang.

- Wow. - Suh.

- There's more to that story. - Uh.

You ain't got to tell me.

- So, honey, let me tell you something though.

The thing about it is, when your kids bring home

somebody that the parents don't like--

- Mm-hmm. - --it makes them just

dive in just that harder to prove you wrong.

- Ooh, and will get under your skin about it.

- Yes, but when y'all embraced him, you know,

that took all the fun out of it.

- You mean just because we like him,

now she doesn't like him?

- Yes, that's how it goes.

If you like him, then--then they wanna run 'em away then.

- Oh.

- Y'all probably broke 'em up by y'all liking him.

- Huh-uh, don't you do that. Don't you put that on me.

- [laughs] Well, yeah.

Well, I'm just kidding.

Now if you go back to hating him, they'll get back together.

- Mm. - And that's what you really

want in the end though. - Oh my God.

- 'Cause he seems like a good kid.

- He does seem like a good kid.

I don't know, but we like him.

But we're afraid that he might be being abused.

- Really? So what did he say?

- Nothing.

Cora, there was a--I don't know, it's just like

a sadness with that kid. - Really?

- I just felt all in my spirit that something is wrong

in his home. - Well, you know what?

You just have to follow your heart.

- [sighs] I hear you. - But you can't turn your backs,

especially when kids are involved.

- Yeah.

But I just don't know how we find out what's going on.

- Don't worry about that, baby.

All things will come to the light.

- Don't it? - Yes, it will. Trust me.

- Yeah. - It will.

But until then-- - Mm-hmm.

- --come on over here, I'm gonna show you

how to cook a few things. - Mm.

Yes, show me how to cook a few things,

'cause this a mean cup of joe right here.

- Oh, well, thank you. - Mm-hmm.
