Curtis!

What!

Curtis, we need to talk.

I don't want to talk.

No, we don't.

Yes, we do, Curtis.

In the kitchen now!

I'm not going to the kitchen.

Curtis.

Curtis, if you don't get into this kitchen!

What did I just say?

What did I just say?

You better get in this kitchen.

Who the hell does she think she is?

Your wife.

Right. I'm the husband.

- Mm. - Me!

Yeah.

I'm the man of the house!

Me!

The leader.

The lion.

And the king of my castle.

What does that mean?

That means she don't tell me what to do,

- that's what it means. - Mm-hmm.

You sure about that?

Yes, I am.

Okay.

So you just gonna stand there?

You just gonna watch me?

Okay.

Hmm.

Curtis!

That's my name, don't wear it out.

Curtis, you better go on back in that kitchen.

What did I say? I said I'm not going in that kitchen, Jo.

Okay, okay, okay. But you know what's going to happen?

- What? - You talk about Nyla being homeless.

You're going to be homeless.

You don't get it, you don't get it,

you don't get it, you don't get it.

See, I'm not going to be homeless

because this is my house.

Jo-Jo.

I run this, okay.

I make the rules.

And you not staying.

You out.

You out this door.

Mr. C., Mr. C. I'm sorry.

- Don't! Save it! - I'm sorry, I'm...

I don't want to hear it.

Okay, now it's your little crazy boyfriend

wanted to stay with him.

Now you want to come apologizing to me.

I was wrong, okay.

- I was wrong. I'm sorry. - Yes, you were.

Say it again.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Say it just like that

when you tell them at the shelter.

Say it. Say it just like that.

Curtis.

- You'll get in. - Curtis!

What?

She is not going to any shelter.

Oh, she staying with you?

No, she ain't staying with me.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, now come on now Curtis.

What about her kids?

What about 'em?

Well, they... they're beautiful little angels.

Who the hell are you talking about?

Her kids!

Them little demon, disease carriers?

They are worse than the walking dead!

- [GROANING] - Don't talk about my kids!

What did you just say to me?

You talking to me?

Yes, I don't want you talking about them.

Whoo-hoo, let me tell you about them little...

Curtis!

Get, get, get!

Curtis!

Well, close the door.

Born in a barn.

Curtis.

- Hey, baby. - Unh-unh.

No, no, no.

Don't "baby" me.

What?

Didn't I tell you to come in this kitchen.

Baby, I didn't hear you.

Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

I ignored you.

Oh, really.

Yes, please.

I learned to do that years ago.

Kept my sanity.

Curtis.

Did you just say something?

You say Curtis? Did you say something?

No, I'm just making sure it's there.

Okay, I'm with you.

Okay, Curtis, Nyla made a mistake.

Right.

And she has to stay here.

Ella, she is not our responsibility.

Curtis, I know that.

But I want to help her.

Well, I don't.

Well, you don't have a choice.

What?!

- You don't have... - What do you mean,

how you gonna take a choice from me?

How you gonna take my choice?

That's mine.

I know, cu-huh.

I know we not talking about taking choices

away from somebody.

When I lived in Atlanta and now I live in Florida.

Huh? Curtis.

This, this right here,

I took it away when this right here happened.

And it's not this finger, it's this one,

with the ring on it.

I'm glad you mentioned that,

because I've been meaning to tell you, baby,

that's not real.

I gave the real one to Diane.

And I should have got with Diane,

like my aunt Michael said.

Really!

Snaggle-toothed, hump-backed aunt Michael.

You don't talk about my family.

Curtis.

She is staying.

Aunt Michael?

Nyla!

Baby, she left those kids in this house by themselves.

I know that.

I mean, that alone!

Just because of that, she got to go.

There's a whole list like this.

Just because of that, she got to go.

Does she now?

Yes, what kind of parent does that, Ella?

Where they do that at?

Name one.

You!

Curtis, you did it.

When did I do that?

Curtis, oh, now you don't remember.

So you can't hear, nor do you remember.

Curtis, you left Calvin when he was seven.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, you left him.

No, I didn't. I never did that!

Curtis, yes you did.

You left him in the house.

I came home from work, he was sitting on the couch.

There's a big old lie right here.

Work, Ella?

Did you just say work?

Thank you, God, thank you.

This ain't work. You ain't never had a job.

I've had several jobs.

I worked at the mall.

[LAUGHS]

What are you laughing?

I know I shouldn't be laughing now,

cause I know this is an intense situation,

but, baby, that ain't no job.

Try this, no, mmm.

[MUMBLING]

Does this make me look fat?

Yes, it does. Let me get another one for you.

Curtis.

You play too much.

Playing too much.

And I'm not doing this with you.

I'm not doing this with you.

Well, whatever, I know this is not right.

Okay.

I'm not doing this with you Curtis.

Well, I'm not doing it with her.

Okay, she gots to go, period.

Oh, so you can leave Calvin in the house

but when she makes...

I was right across the...

Town! Town!

You were right across town, Curtis.

Calvin was responsible.

He was seven.

He was mature and Beverly was right outside.

On the corner.

You know, I'm really getting sick

of that judging thing you do.

And I wasn't even gone that long, okay.

- I just went to go get... - A scratch-off.

[IMITATING CURTIS] A scratch-off.

I'll be right back. I gotta get a scratch-off.

[GRUNTS]

Let's try it again. [GRUNTS]

You are a mess. You something else.

Curtis, what?

And you think that makes it right?

I won.

You forgot that part, huh?

I'm so tired.

Curtis, listen to me.

She is staying here, okay?

And I don't want to say nothing else about it.

All right, fine.

Fine.

Whew, this is what they call an impasse

in court.

An impasse.

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay, Curtis, what does...

what does this mean, Curtis?

What is an impasse.

Impasse?

I'm going to tell you.

Can I... can I do it?

I don't know what it means.

Hah. Right!

I know what it is.

Okay, okay.

If a car trying to pass another car

and there's a roadblock,

it impasses.

That good for you?

You get it now?

I'm not doing this with you right now, I'm not.

I'm not doing this with you right now.

I mean it, Ella.

Either she goes or I go.

Are you serious?

I mean, really, are you doing this right now?

You're saying this to me right now?

Yes, I am.

Okay.

What?

Okay.

Okay.

So you go tell her to go.

[CHUCKLES] No.

I'm gonna go pack your clothes.

[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]

Whew, boy, ha.

Miss Ella Payne, boy.

Don't you even worry about it.

I don't want you going near my clothes.

- Okay? I'ma do it. - Okay.

- Good. - I got it.

Good.

I'm doing it, cause I'm leaving.

Oh, really?

On the midnight train to Georgia.

Hoo-hoo.

I'm the one singing the song!

Okay, Curtis, bye.

Bye.

Y'all come on in here.

? ?

What took you all so long?

We were talking.

Well, I called you in here a long time ago.

Sit down.

Hmm!

This is all your fault.

- What? - You, me!

- What's going on? - I'm leaving.

Where are you going?

I don't even know.

But we not talking right now.

What?!

- Ella? - Yeah, her.

I was talking to Ella.

Well, you need to make yourself clear.

Ella.

Yes, her.

Curtis, hush! Ella.

Yes, what?

Yes.

You going to let him move out?

Yes.

That's his choice.

Well he actually said leaving, you said moving.

But either one is okay with me.

Ella, really?

Miss Ella, I don't want you two arguing over me.

Little too late for that.

I thought you were going to pack.

I am.

Well you can't do that standing right down here.

You know what, you know what, Ella.

What kind of Christian are you?

What kind, 'cause I can't figure it out.

I've been trying to figure it out all these years

and I just can't figure out, what kind are you?

What sect are you?

What sect you from, huh?

You down with Jesus or his bloods?

Curtis, I am the kind of Christian,

that will not put this girl and her kids out on the streets.

Oh, that's so nice of you.

But you'll put your husband out.

That's your choice.

You did that.

With no place to go.

Curtis!

Fine!

I'll just be out on the street like little baby Jesus.

[LAUGHS]

Baby, you are far,

far, far from baby Jesus...

And little.

Don't judge me, Ella.

Go pack, Curtis.

I am.

Okay, Curtis, bye.

Adi�s...

amigos.

Arrivederci.

Pwah-pah.

That's bye in every language.

Wah-waah.

Every language on earth, there you go.

Go pack, Curtis. How about that?

I'll just ship up.

Miss Ella.

I am not letting you go out there and be homeless.

But I was wrong.

Yeah, oh, yes.

Yes, you were.

And I know that.

And now you two are arguing.

Just can't.

Ho, ho, don't do this, don't do that.

"And now you two are arguing."

You should have thought about that.

You know what, don't worry about it.

Look, Curtis and I will talk.

CURTIS: No, we won't!

When he calms down, yes, we will.

We will talk.

CURTIS: No, I ain't.

And then this will all blow over, I promise you.

So come on, everybody just sit down...

The hell it will.

Ella, I think we should all just take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.

I don't need to do that. I'm calm, baby.

Okay, you sure?

Yes, I am calm. Do you see this?

- Sit down! - Oh!

This is my calm.

Ohhhh, ooh, oh, okay.

Whew!

Well, this wouldn't be happening

if I didn't fall in love with Hendrik.

[LAUGHS]

- Well... - I know, I know.

You know, baby, it's hard for people to change.

Yeah, tell me about it.

And for you to go out on a limb for him...

I know, I know.

Who you hollerin' at?

Nobody.

You weren't hollerin' at him.

"Can we stay with you."

"No."

Now you want to holler.

"Kids, come on. We gonna move out.

We gonna do this, we gonna do that."

I sure hope that you have learned your lesson,

I really do.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay, good!

Nyla, do not leave these kids again,

do you hear me?

- I won't. - Okay.

- We talked about this already. - Okay, well...

[CHUCKLES]

Ella, he's really going.

Well?

I'm leaving.

Y'all need to stop this.

No, Jo-Jo, she needs to stop it.

Okay, she made the choice.

Oh, Curtis, now you know that is crazy.

No! No!

No, now she chose Nyla and her kids over me.

She didn't choose me.

Okay.

Curtis, that is not what I did.

Your honor, will you please ask the witness

what she calls it?

- Uh, he says... - I heard him!

Okay.

- Well, she said... - I heard her.

You d... I'm out of this.

Curtis, I did not tell you to leave.

You made that choice.

You did that.

Because you won't put her out.

No, I sure won't.

And that's just wrong.

Curtis, we got this big old house

that you brought me to, against my will.

Oh!

Against my choice.

You still on that?

Yes, we are. Yes, we are, baby.

Yes, we are.

So, the least we can do is give her some kindness.

Help her out, just a little bit.

- You know what... - Show her some...

Unh-unh. This kindness mess.

What is it with the kindness, huh, every day?

Every day, Ella, huh?

- What's with the nice? - Curtis!

It's the godly thing to do.

I don't even know why I asked.

I don't even know why I asked.

Cause I knew you was going to say that.

That's your go to... God.

God, Ella?

- God. - Now, for now?

Yes, Curtis, God.

Okay, so you gonna let God come between us, Ella?

Curtis, God has always been between me and you.

He is the reason why I'm still with you.

Ella.

The Bible say you supposed to...

Curtis! You know what.

Don't you dare!

Don't you dare quote the Bible.

- Don't go there. - I won't.

I'm just going to go.

I'm just going to go.

Mr. C., please.

I won't do that, but I will leave.

I'm just going to go.

Are you talking to me?

Did you just say something to me?

I'm sorry.

Yeah, o-o-okay.

He wants to go, let him go.

I said I'm going!

But you're still here.

Bye, Curtis.

Bye.
