00:05:30 I wanted to thank you too
00:05:32 - You know, I love it.
00:05:34 ...I wanted a watch about as bad
00:05:38 Nobody could afford it.

00:06:30 - Look.
00:06:32 You're making me nervous. Go.
00:06:34 Come and taste some of this.
00:06:35 - I want your stamp of approval.
00:06:38 Should have told them 4,
00:06:40 It's frustrating being the only person
00:06:44 You know your brothers
00:06:47 That don't make it right.
00:06:48 Why don't you come late,
00:06:51 - You know what? See, you...
00:06:58 This is like hitting the lottery.
00:06:59 - Especially if we finance it ourselves.
00:07:03 I'd be a millionaire before I'm 40.
00:07:05 I should be able to get
00:07:07 ...while I'm in New York.
00:07:09 But you're gonna have
00:07:11 I'm pretty sure
00:07:14 - Well, that would be a happy holiday.
00:07:17 - Now, that's a car right there.
00:07:19 I'll call you when I get a chance.
00:07:26 - Nice.
00:07:28 Nice.
00:07:31 Got that new-car smell
00:07:34 Damn, you got your name on the car?
00:07:37 Hey, Joe, you need to get
00:07:42 Hey, how much this set you back?
00:07:43 My old man's got a dealership
00:07:46 ...so I got a deal,
00:07:48 It's a smart investment.
00:07:50 Kelli's got herself a new car too.
00:07:53 Merry Christmas.
00:07:54 - Guess she's smart like you, Malcolm.
00:07:57 - Joe, how you doing?
00:08:00 - Good to see you.
00:08:02 You look like your mama
00:08:05 Get over here and hug me, girl.

00:08:10 Maybe, but when you gonna

00:08:19 - Get the rest of those bags.
00:08:21 - What you got in these bags, girl?
00:08:23 - Yeah? You bring anything for me?
00:08:26 If I get any free time,
00:08:29 Lisa, you regifted me last year.
00:08:31 You know you wanted

00:08:46 Damn, Baby, look at you,
00:08:49 You guys better stop calling him Baby,
00:08:53 He's my youngest,
00:08:57 He'll always be my baby.
00:08:58 Ain't that right. She's just a hater.
00:09:00 You just treat him special
00:09:03 My favourite is whoever
00:09:06 The one that needs
00:09:08 You should've called us.
00:09:11 - Maybe you'd have been on time.
00:09:13 See our new Escalade outside?
00:09:15 - You know, I rented a BMW convertible.
00:09:18 - Hey, can I try that?
00:09:21 Can't blame a brother for trying.
00:09:23 So I guess that means things
00:09:26 I can't complain.
00:09:29 You need to let me come to New York
00:09:32 What you need to do is get a college
00:09:36 So, Ma'Dere, is there anything else
00:09:39 - Y'all want me to make something?
00:09:42 What? I can cook.
00:09:44 Girl, you can't make reservations.
00:09:46 She orders up a mean Chinese.
00:09:49 Merry Christmas, Claude!
00:09:51 - Oh, my child.
00:09:53 - You look so good in your uniform.
00:09:57 Claude's got all them girls

00:10:06 Yeah, when are you gonna settle down?
00:10:09 Well, I know, whoever she is, just
00:10:12 ...and she can cook like your big sis.
00:10:15 ...going to college while others chose
00:10:19 And those who stayed home
00:10:22 ...while the rest of us,
00:10:24 ...jetted off to college
00:10:27 Are you two listening to yourself?
00:10:29 A stranger wouldn't know
00:10:31 - She started it.
00:10:34 Kelli, fix some Kool-Aid
00:10:36 Are you sure you don't want me
00:10:38 - No.
00:10:41 Don't hurt yourself.

00:11:04 - So, what's up with you, Malcolm?

00:11:12 Rains, fires, mudslides.

00:11:21 Oh, my God. Look at my... Hey!
00:11:24 - Hey, Fred. How you doing?
00:11:27 Welcome home, Mel.
00:11:28 Ma'Dere didn't tell me
00:11:31 I couldn't miss Mama's cooking.
00:11:32 I missed you.
00:11:35 - In the kitchen.
00:11:37 You go do that. Get in there.
00:11:45 You got a name, homes?
00:11:51 Devean.
00:11:54 Brooks.
00:11:56 Well, you know, she did
00:12:00 I'm about to go change.
00:12:02 - Come on, get your bags.
00:12:04 Y'all are punks, man.
00:12:09 - Devean Brooks.
00:12:13 Can we join hands?
00:12:18 Bless, O Lord, almighty God...
00:12:20 ...the Whitfield family and home.

00:12:35 ...the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
00:12:38 May this blessing remain
00:12:41 ...this home
00:12:44 ...through Christ, our Lord.
00:12:47 - Okay. Dig in, everybody.
00:12:52 Pass that corn bread down here.
00:12:54 Macaroni and cheese.
00:12:56 - What...? Don't put that on your plate.
00:12:59 No, that's turkey.
00:13:01 Everybody's good?
00:13:06 Okay, okay, everybody.
00:13:07 Let's do the family business first.
00:13:09 Here are the shares
00:13:12 Okay? Each one of you has your own.
00:13:16 - Merry Christmas.
00:13:18 You know you didn't have to do that.
00:13:20 We didn't expect anything.
00:13:22 - I do. Thank you, Mama.
00:13:24 - Can you warm this up?
00:13:26 - It came out of the oven.
00:13:28 I'll put it in the microwave.
00:13:30 That thing's going off
00:13:32 Well, if you must know,
00:13:34 It's Christmastime, and they wanna
00:13:37 I know Baby better not be
00:13:40 It's time for me to have
00:13:43 Too late.
00:13:44 Yeah, I learned more
00:13:48 I'm gonna take this in the other room.
00:13:50 Thank you, baby.
00:13:52 You mind?
00:13:55 - Thank you.
00:13:57 When you're finished...
00:13:58 ...pass the plate over here
00:14:02 - Shut up, Kelli.
00:14:04 ...what do you got planned
00:14:07 Well, after breakfast,
00:14:10 We're gonna go buy the tree.
00:14:11 Then Christmas morning
00:14:14 I didn't know your father
00:14:16 No, he's not. He's a deacon.
00:14:19 My bad.
00:14:21 Yeah, our father moved on.
00:14:25 I'm sorry to hear that.
00:14:26 No, he didn't die. He just moved on.
00:14:32 So, Devean...
00:14:34 ...you and Mel go
00:14:36 She goes to Spelman.
00:14:39 I knew that.
00:14:40 - No, you didn't.
00:14:44 - I go to Morehouse.
00:14:45 ...how do you like attending
00:14:48 - Don't start with that nonsense.
00:14:51 I went to Harvard. What's your point?
00:14:53 Can you let the man
00:14:55 Go on. I just wanna know
00:14:58 ...attending an all-black college.
00:15:00 I wanna answer. Morehouse has certain
00:15:03 ...by which its existence stands.
00:15:05 It includes an appreciation for the
00:15:09 ...humane treatment of all people...
00:15:11 ...development of spiritual self
00:15:13 Sounds like you got it from
00:15:16 I did. But that's also why I go there.
00:15:19 Not because it's all-black...
00:15:20 ...but because it embodies
00:15:23 The fact that all the students
00:15:27 - I like that, young man.
00:15:30 Well, Mel, your boyfriend has
00:15:33 I hope some of his smarts rubs off
00:15:40 Stop, now. Mel's smart.
00:15:44 - Getting her four-year degree in what?
00:15:47 I've changed my major a few times.
00:15:50 First a doctor, then a journalist.
00:15:52 - Pre-law.
00:15:54 Mel's major is always determined
00:15:58 Devean, what's your major?
00:16:06 - Pre-law.
00:16:09 Come on.
00:16:11 That is wrong on so many
00:16:14 That was so good, Ma'Dere.
00:16:16 We have some sock-it-to-me cake.
00:16:18 As tempting as that sounds, Ma'Dere,
00:16:23 Let me see you out. Hold up.
00:16:25 - Bye, family.
00:16:27 Bye, Fred.
00:16:29 - That boy, he need to slow down.
00:16:32 I know.
00:16:34 - Six?
00:16:35 - Seven?
00:16:39 I'm gonna hurt him real bad
00:16:42 Not till we get that 25 G's
00:16:44 Or Luther will hurt you.
00:16:47 Don't let your temper
00:16:49 What happens
00:16:51 It's on Luther, man. I wouldn't wanna
00:17:16 - We about to run a Boston on you.
00:17:23 I think now is a good time for us
00:17:27 We have a dry-cleaner situation?
00:17:29 Ma'Dere's been running
00:17:31 What little money she makes
00:17:34 Whatever's left over after that,
00:17:38 ...that amount to, what, lunch money?
00:17:40 You spending way too much money
00:17:43 Look, we each own a percentage
00:17:46 I think it's a good idea if we sold it.
00:17:48 You trying to sell the cleaners?
00:17:50 - She wanna sell her portion, let her.
00:17:53 You can't sell a percentage.
00:17:56 I guess you're shit out of luck...
00:17:58 ...because we don't
00:18:01 Well, we haven't been
00:18:03 And I'm the one that's keeping
00:18:05 How is Ma'Dere gonna maintain
00:18:08 Mel, she doesn't need
00:18:10 You trying to sell the house too?
00:18:12 Well, especially since Baby
00:18:15 I mean, he's gonna wanna
00:18:17 Says who? I ain't going nowhere.
00:18:20 Please. All these little girls
00:18:22 ...you are gonna wanna get
00:18:25 All I know is everybody here
00:18:28 You sell this house and you ain't gonna
00:18:32 It's that simple. I mean,
00:18:34 I got a date. I'm gonna holler at y'all.
00:18:37 Well, despite what Baby says, he is
00:18:40 This place is just too big
00:18:42 I mean, they can get
00:18:45 What makes you think Ma'Dere
00:18:48 Hello. He's been living with her
00:18:53 - Joe's been living here?
00:18:55 Think you the only one
00:18:57 Okay, stop. My God.
00:19:01 I can't hear about Ma'Dere
00:19:04 I don't wanna intrude
00:19:06 Then don't.
00:19:09 This was probably your idea, anyway.
00:19:11 You know, Kelli...
00:19:13 ...I'm not gonna dignify that
00:19:15 You don't have to.
00:19:17 - Oh, come on.
00:19:19 ...I'm not smart enough
00:19:21 No, you're weak-willed
00:19:23 - So you're saying my wife is stupid.
00:19:27 I said, you sometimes allow
00:19:31 - So now I can't think for myself?
00:19:33 Why don't you concentrate
00:19:35 Kelli, I know exactly where
00:19:39 Everybody just bring it down a notch.
00:19:42 The thing to do is just
00:19:45 Well, we can't have a family vote
00:19:48 Quentin isn't here, so there.
00:19:53 Dessert, anyone?
00:20:14 Go ahead, now.
00:20:20 Go, bougie. Go, bougie. Go, bougie.
00:20:47 That's my baby right there!
00:21:10 Come on, Devean.
00:21:21 Come on, Mama.
00:21:27 He's here.
00:21:40 Quentin! Oh, my goodness.
00:21:43 - Hey, Mama.
00:21:46 - Oh, look at you.
00:21:54 So I've been doing a lot of travelling,
00:21:58 I recorded an album out there.
00:22:00 It's been four years.
00:22:01 You haven't changed a bit.
00:22:04 - Don't blow his head up.
00:22:07 - You look good too.
00:22:09 You didn't bring no luggage, man?
00:22:10 No, no. I just, you know...
00:22:13 I got another tour,
00:22:16 So you're not gonna be
00:22:19 Ma, I might make it back
00:22:21 I'm just not sure yet.
00:22:23 Well, I guess I'll go up
00:22:26 I wasn't expecting you to be home.
00:22:28 Lisa, take care of him, now,
00:22:30 Oh, my gosh.
00:22:32 - He's almost as tall as you.
00:22:35 - He really is.
00:22:37 Oh, be quiet.
00:22:39 You won't believe
00:22:41 - Joe?
00:22:43 We have a big breakfast
00:22:45 And then the mens are gonna go
00:22:48 On Christmas morning,
00:22:50 Church? You know I don't do church.
00:22:53 So, what's that mean, man?
00:22:55 You don't do church.
00:22:58 Church ain't something you do.
00:23:00 It's a place you go to commune
00:23:02 I don't believe in God.
00:23:04 - Not in the traditional sense.
00:23:07 I mean, I'm a spiritual person,
00:23:09 I believe in a higher source. But...
00:23:13 - But you don't believe in God.
00:23:18 Okay.
00:23:22 I'm gonna go let Ma'Dere
00:23:24 - I'll see y'all.
00:23:26 All right. You do that.
00:23:27 - Good night, Joe.
00:23:31 - Why you gotta be like that?
00:23:34 - "You do that, Joe."
00:23:37 How he come in?
00:23:39 - Come on, now. You know it's Joe.
00:23:42 Quentin is the problem.
00:23:45 If Quentin says no,
00:23:47 The guy doesn't even live here.
00:23:49 Ever since Senior left,
00:23:52 Okay, well, Lisa,
00:23:55 Talk some sense into the man.
00:23:57 I'm telling you, Malcolm. We've been
00:24:01 I don't know what it is, but it's like...
00:24:04 I don't know.
00:24:06 Same damn reason Joe and Ma'Dere
00:24:08 ...like Joe doesn't live here.
00:24:10 Oh, come on. You telling me
00:24:13 No. Quentin doesn't know.
00:24:16 He's been that way
00:24:18 Like he thinks one day
00:24:26 Hey. Hey, Lisa.
00:24:30 Lisa?
00:24:32 What?
00:24:37 Never mind.
00:24:45 You said your dad moved on.
00:24:47 What does that mean?
00:24:49 A little after Baby was born...
00:24:51 ...Senior decided to go off and,
00:24:53 ...chase his dream of playing jazz.
00:24:55 He upped and left
00:24:58 She wouldn't let Quentin Jr.
00:25:00 She was afraid he'd leave too,
00:25:03 - And did he?
00:25:05 Up and leave her?
00:25:07 First time he's been home
00:25:09 A lot of phone calls and postcards,
00:25:13 Senior's piano is in the garage.
00:25:14 She thinks that music is the root
00:25:18 Hell, the rest of us are afraid
00:25:23 Look at that smile, girl.
00:25:26 I love to see you happy.
00:25:27 Well, it's because you are such
00:25:31 You're a real good woman,
00:25:34 And beautiful too.
00:25:36 Okay.
00:25:38 - Tomorrow morning?
00:25:41 I'm gonna pick up a few things.
00:25:43 I'm gonna take off, but I'll be back.
00:25:44 Okay.
00:25:47 Merry Christmas, baby.
00:25:58 Malcolm.
00:26:03 Malcolm.
00:26:05 Malcolm.
00:26:11 Hey, baby.
00:26:56 I thought you had gone.
00:27:00 I was checking something
00:27:02 Oh, yeah? What's that, Joe?
00:27:09 Christmas lights, brother.

00:52:09 Well, as you know, I'm a fireman.
00:52:12 We do this every year

00:53:55 You wouldn't understand that, being
00:54:00 Oh, and I don't work?
00:54:01 I guess I just stay at home
00:54:03 ...and raise your kids.

00:02:51 - But not your family.
00:02:54 - I don't mean to get in your business...
00:02:57 ...before they get in your business?
00:03:05 Well, if we sell,
00:03:07 Including you.
00:03:10 What about Ma'Dere?
00:03:12 Joe and Ma'Dere keep the house.
00:03:13 We can put Ma'Dere's profits
00:03:15 - They'll be fine.
00:03:17 What's he got to do with the house?
00:03:21 Joe and Ma'Dere
00:03:23 ...since Mel went away to college.
00:03:25 What?
00:03:50 Just sit down. Relax.
00:03:52 Been in situations like this before.
00:03:55 Guy with a gun, crowded club.
00:03:58 Nobody remembers nothing.
00:04:00 Hey, this dry-cleaner situation...
00:04:03 ...it's gonna make
00:04:09 How long have you two
00:04:11 - A while.
00:04:14 No, we're in...
00:04:16 ...money management.
00:04:19 Sis.
00:04:21 What'd they say?
00:04:23 The club manager's
00:04:25 - Good, he can come home with us.
00:04:27 Then what, exactly?
00:04:30 - Claude is AWOL.
00:04:34 They gonna let me talk to him now.
00:04:38 So, what? While I'm sleeping...
00:04:40 ...everybody was out
00:04:42 Sit up when I'm talking to you!
00:04:45 - Get the kids ready for bed?
00:04:48 - Now they're taking their baths.
00:04:52 - You already cooked for Christmas.
00:04:55 If you want to eat tonight,
00:04:57 And we gotta make cookies
00:05:00 Why?
00:05:01 He's already had Kelli's cookies.
00:05:03 Should we call a lawyer
00:05:06 - Don't even worry about it.
00:05:08 Quentin said he's gonna
00:05:10 - I'll call Joe and tell him.
00:05:12 Kelli, cook dinner.
00:05:14 I'm going upstairs to rest. Okay?
00:05:16 When Quentin gets here,
00:05:19 Because...
00:05:22 You ain't telling me. I'm telling you.
00:05:24 I came home because Christmas
00:05:27 - I promised her.
00:05:29 No, you don't know her.
00:05:30 So you go AWOL so you don't
00:05:33 - Not Ma'Dere. Sandi.
00:05:38 Now, you got the two green peppers
00:05:41 And you people think
00:05:43 - Watch out, now.
00:05:46 Spicy.
00:05:48 Okay. Two green peppers, chopped.
00:05:53 - Got to broil the bacon.
00:05:56 You're supposed
00:05:58 Adding the sausage.
00:06:01 - Enough sausage?
00:06:02 Now pour gravy over the onions.
00:06:05 Slow, though.
00:06:06 That is not how it looks
00:06:09 - I am not eating that.
00:06:12 Don't burn yourself. Watch out.
00:06:14 Y'all know what you're doing?
00:06:16 The drippings, it says here.
00:06:20 - Drippings, huh?
00:06:24 - Okay. Doesn't look like Ma'Dere's.
00:06:29 - Try stirring it up.
00:06:31 That didn't help either.
00:06:33 It looks good, huh?
00:06:35 Maybe you should bake it?
00:06:43 Yup. Oh, believe me,
00:06:47 - Is that Quentin calling about Claude?
00:06:51 Tell Lisa that my flight's been delayed
00:06:55 His possession isn't here,
00:06:58 Tell Kelli I said,
00:07:00 He said merry Christmas.
00:07:05 All right, man.
00:07:12 You missed Malcolm's call.
00:07:13 - What'd he say?
00:07:15 - Where's Claude?
00:07:18 - Then where is he?
00:07:19 - AWOL?
00:07:22 They're shipping him to Pendleton.
00:07:23 - We need to call him a lawyer.
00:07:26 - Is he all right?
00:07:29 Are we gonna see him
00:07:31 MP said they'll call
00:07:33 They need him in uniform. Somebody
00:07:37 It just doesn't makes sense.
00:07:38 - Claude's never been in trouble before.
00:07:42 Ma'Dere, that's Sandi Whitfield,
00:07:48 Damn.
00:07:50 - Lisa, this is not funny.
00:07:52 But I'm gonna keep drinking
00:07:54 Claude and I got married
00:07:56 We wanted to surprise you.
00:07:58 Congratulations, we're surprised.
00:08:00 Kelli, Claude had her
00:08:03 A hotel?
00:08:04 He talks about you guys all the time.
00:08:07 - You're exactly like I imagined you.
00:08:10 Hush.
00:08:13 Welcome to the family, Sandi.
00:08:17 - Can we get you something to eat?
00:08:20 They offer you food, you don't accept,
00:08:23 Well, in that case, I'm starving.
00:08:26 A sense of humour.
00:08:28 Mel, help her get settled upstairs.
00:08:31 Yeah, and I'll get you that plate.
00:08:33 - Come on.
00:08:37 - Can I get you a glass of water?
00:08:39 You don't want some water?
00:08:41 Get a glass of whatever
00:08:43 And stop asking me crazy questions.
00:08:46 Are either of you married
00:08:48 No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
00:08:51 - Oh, well, thank God, merry Christmas.
00:08:53 - I'm Dude.
00:08:57 - The pleasure's all ours.
00:09:00 - No, no, no. They...
00:09:02 - We're starving.
00:09:03 ...before they lose their reservations.
00:09:05 Nonsense. You're friends of Quentin,
00:09:09 We have plenty of room.
00:09:10 That's very kind of you, ma'am.
00:09:13 Make the two of these gentlemen
00:09:15 - Appreciate it, ma'am.
00:09:18 - I seem to have lost my appetite.
00:09:21 ...you're not gonna eat?
00:09:24 - Probably why she lost her appetite.
00:09:31 How long did you guys think you were
00:09:35 It wasn't a secret. It was a surprise.
00:09:38 Yeah, I think we kind of covered that.
00:09:41 Because his leave was denied.
00:09:44 He didn't inform his superiors
00:09:48 But Claude wasn't
00:09:53 He told me that he knew
00:09:55 ...from the first moment
00:09:58 He knew, just like that?
00:10:00 He said some things
00:10:02 - Like marriage?
00:10:06 You're pregnant too?
00:10:09 - Did I just say that?
00:10:13 They're not fans of Claude.
00:10:16 - Because he's...
00:10:19 Okay, let me get this straight.
00:10:22 You're a newlywed, pregnant...
00:10:24 ...your husband's AWOL and in jail...
00:10:27 ...and your parents don't like him
00:10:29 - Damn, girl.
00:10:33 But I can't because I'm pregnant.
00:10:36 Look, you with family now, it's okay.
00:10:41 It's okay.
00:10:47 I'll drop this stuff off with Claude
00:10:50 I'll go with Joe and let Claude know
00:10:53 Give him my love.
00:10:55 I know a first sergeant in the Corps
00:10:59 I'm gonna see if he can work it out
00:11:02 ...before they take him back, okay?
00:11:11 I know the Lord will make it happen.
00:11:13 I put my money on Joe first.
00:11:15 - Baby.
00:11:25 Mama, I think we need to talk.
00:11:34 I still can't believe it.
00:11:37 What, AWOL or married?
00:11:39 Both.
00:11:41 I know, he's a decent kid.
00:11:44 I should know.
00:11:49 - Why do you do that?
00:11:53 Make everything about you.
00:11:55 Trust me, it's not about me.
00:11:57 I'm the last person it's about.
00:11:59 Then why are you constantly reminding
00:12:03 Because when I look down
00:12:06 ...I'm not even on it.
00:12:08 You chose to work at
00:12:10 You chose to get married,
00:12:13 Like you chose to raise Claude.
00:12:14 Now you want us to feel guilty?
00:12:16 Somebody had to stay here
00:12:20 You think I wanted to stay here
00:12:22 You took away my choice
00:12:24 I'm selfish. I'll own that.
00:12:27 But you deserve better, Lisa.
00:12:29 What are you really trying to say?
00:12:33 What? I'm bossy,
00:12:36 - I shouldn't have married Malcolm...
00:12:48 I know.
00:12:50 You know?
00:12:52 I didn't have to go to college
00:12:57 What do you want me to say?
00:12:59 - I got two kids, no degree...
00:13:02 So it doesn't make me particularly hot
00:13:05 Plus, I'm not trying to start all over.
00:13:07 Sharing your husband with another
00:13:11 Pathetic? You know,
00:13:14 Since you don't have responsibilities
00:13:17 ...about anybody but yourself.
00:13:21 You know what?
00:13:23 ...you'll go 10 rounds just to satisfy
00:13:27 ...because you didn't go to college. To
00:13:31 But when Malcolm says jump...
00:13:33 ...your Oprah alter ego runs
00:13:35 You let that fraction of a man run you
00:13:39 Women do it every day,
00:13:42 Drop by a magazine rack,
00:13:45 ...and stop taking this shit out
00:13:50 Get out of my face, Kelli.
00:13:53 Come here!
00:14:06 - Let go!
00:14:08 Stop! Stop! Stop!
00:14:11 Get away from me, Mel!
00:14:13 Forget you
00:14:15 - Oh, my hair!
00:14:18 We just had a discussion.
00:14:21 So dumb!
00:14:26 Senior was a good man.
00:14:28 But he was a terrible husband
00:14:31 But did you love him?
00:14:33 At one point, more than life itself.
00:14:37 Yeah, but he still left, didn't he?
00:14:39 Quentin, he left
00:14:41 Senior had a calling with his music.
00:14:44 It broke my heart...
00:14:48 ...but it would have killed him
00:14:50 See, some men aren't fit
00:14:54 They're just too selfish.
00:14:59 Now, Joe, he came much later,
00:15:04 He has respected me in ways
00:15:07 I got better things to do with
00:15:10 Quen, I brought you into this world,
00:15:14 ...if you ever use that tone
00:15:16 - Now, you understand?
00:15:19 By the time you wake up
00:15:24 "When you wake up
00:15:27 You are truly your father's son.
00:15:30 You know what?
00:15:31 Baby was right about you.
00:15:34 - It's kind of sad, Mama.
00:15:36 Your hatred for Senior,
00:15:39 It makes it impossible for that boy
00:15:41 Honest? Honest about what?
00:15:43 That's something you're gonna
00:15:47 I'm just sorry that I was
00:15:52 You know?
00:15:56 Merry Christmas, Mama.
00:16:01 What does "discussion" mean?
00:16:03 We got in an argument, one thing led to
00:16:07 Where's your new sister-in-law?
00:16:09 - She's asleep.
00:16:12 You sleep a lot when you're pregnant.
00:16:15 - She's pregnant?
00:16:22 Jesus.
00:16:23 That's why Claude married her.
00:16:25 Nope.
00:16:26 Claude doesn't even know
00:16:30 Poor thing, she must be so scared.
00:16:35 Okay, look, let's get out
00:18:05 Hey, man, look what I found.
00:18:06 Some sock-it-to-me cake, man.
00:18:08 Wack.
00:18:09 - Appreciate you, man.
00:18:13 Y'all comfortable, man?
00:18:15 Look, man, you talk
00:18:17 Man, you'll get your money.
00:18:19 You think you could
00:18:21 Man, she may have low standards,
00:18:24 Hey, man, her husband ain't here.
00:18:26 And if she don't holler,
00:18:29 You don't get to disrespect
00:18:32 - I'll tell you right now.
00:18:35 Now, you owe us 25 G's, man.
00:18:38 Tomorrow's Christmas,
00:18:40 The day after that,
00:18:43 Looks like we spend Christmas
00:18:46 Hey, what's going on, y'all?
00:18:50 Nothing, man. It's good.
00:18:53 I haven't had the opportunity
00:18:56 Oh, that's Mo and Dude.
00:18:58 How you doing, sir?
00:19:01 I'm Dude. Nice to meet you.
00:19:03 Mo and Dude.
00:19:05 Ma'Dere's asleep, you know, so...
00:19:08 Yeah, you go on up, man.
00:19:09 I'm gonna come say good night
00:19:13 You gonna come upstairs
00:19:16 Yeah.
00:19:18 In your mother's room?
00:19:19 Yeah, that's what I said.
00:19:21 Okay.
00:19:24 Well, then, let's shut it down.
00:19:27 You know, we got a big day
00:19:31 - All right, man, good night.
00:19:34 Good night, Joe.
00:19:53 - Hey.
00:19:55 I'm sorry. I know we were
00:19:58 Time slipped away from me, and...
00:20:00 No, no, no, it's all good.
00:20:03 You all right?
00:20:04 You know, you just wouldn't believe
00:20:08 With my family and...
00:20:10 It's just not a good time right now.
00:20:13 No, I understand.
00:20:18 Okay. Good night, Gerald.
00:20:21 Clark High School.
00:20:25 Say what?
00:20:27 1993.
00:20:30 I remember this skinny ninth-grader.
00:20:33 With bony legs
00:20:38 She dropped all of her books
00:20:41 Now, I went down
00:20:44 But she was so late for class...
00:20:47 ...that she never even
00:20:50 And then I see you in the club...
00:20:53 ...with your family...
00:20:56 ...and I thought, "Wow, there she is."
00:23:56 Welcome to the stage!
00:23:58 - Superstar!
00:24:01 Yeah, just wrapping
00:24:03 Yeah.
00:24:05 Merry Christmas, big bro.
00:24:08 Yeah!
00:24:09 Wonder what it is.
00:24:13 Thanks, bro.
00:24:17 I wanna tell you, man, I'm...
00:24:19 I'm sorry, man.
00:24:21 For what?
00:24:22 Just the way I chose to live my life.
00:24:26 Choices I made.
00:24:29 ...you gotta stay
00:24:31 I gotta find the right way
00:24:33 Right time to tell me what?
00:24:36 Shit.
00:24:38 What is it, Baby,
00:24:41 You know, Mama...
00:24:43 ...this is not my conversation, so...
00:24:46 Well, I'm gonna let y'all talk.
00:24:50 Good night.
00:24:53 I've been meaning to tell you,
00:24:56 ...it hasn't seemed to be
00:24:59 Ever.
00:25:01 But I guess now that you know,
00:25:04 - Know what?
00:25:06 And I can really sing too.
00:25:09 - I can...
00:25:12 See, that's what I'm talking about!
00:25:16 - It's about me, Mama, me.
00:25:19 You might not,
00:25:21 I'm damn sure gonna listen?
00:25:23 Ma, I love you with all my heart,
00:25:26 But I'm gonna sing, and sing for me.
00:25:28 I can't be ashamed of wanting
00:25:30 ...just because
00:25:32 They didn't leave because of you,
00:25:36 And I can't live my life
00:25:39 In the end I'll hate myself,
00:25:42 - You watch your mouth.
00:25:44 - You watch how you talk to me.
00:25:48 Because he really loves you.
00:25:50 But I can't one day look back
00:25:53 - I just can't.
00:25:54 And you!
00:25:56 Somehow I think that you haven't
00:26:01 But the sad truth is you haven't
00:26:14 Good night, Mo.
00:26:20 Good night, Dude.
00:26:23 You know, I was just thinking.
00:26:26 It was cool the way Quentin
00:26:30 That was really,
00:26:32 He's a sweet guy.
00:26:34 Why do you suppose he did that?
00:26:42 Damn.
00:26:45 Ticket. Wallet.
00:26:48 Son of a bitch!
00:27:03 Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
00:28:15 You must think we're stupid.
00:28:16 Honestly? Yeah, I do.
00:28:20 Yeah, we gonna show you
00:28:22 Get his ass up. Get up.
00:28:26 Get off of me!
00:28:28 Get off me, man!
00:28:31 Get him, get him.
00:28:38 That's enough.
00:28:40 - Leave him alone. Back up.
00:28:43 He owes you money.
00:28:49 That's 10 right there.
00:28:51 Take the money
00:28:53 You must be joking, old man.
00:28:57 Now, you take this,
00:29:00 That'll ruin everybody's Christmas.
00:29:04 Or I call the police.
00:29:07 ...both of y'all have warrants.
00:29:09 You ain't tough guys, man.
00:29:12 Now, take this.
00:29:15 You stay alive, you stay out of jail.
00:29:17 My gift to y'all.
00:29:26 Merry Christmas.
00:29:30 - Can we have our gun back?
00:29:48 How'd you know
00:29:51 Their kind always has warrants.
00:29:54 How'd you know what was going on?
00:29:56 Same way I knew about Darryl
00:29:59 ...after school in the sixth grade.
00:30:03 Darryl and Benny?
00:30:05 - Darryl and Benny.
00:30:07 But you couldn't stop
00:30:09 Is that your way
00:30:11 Quentin, let me tell you something.
00:30:13 What you really have left
00:30:16 ...is family,
00:30:24 That's my train.
00:30:27 I gotta get out of here.
00:30:32 Quentin.
00:30:44 - Morning, everybody.
00:30:47 How's my little bumblebee?
00:30:49 Merry Christmas!
00:30:52 - So we got company, Baby?
00:30:54 - Claude's what?
00:30:56 You know, like:
00:30:59 - Malcolm, right? Lisa's husband?
00:31:02 I recognise you from the pictures.
00:31:04 Right.
00:31:07 Claude's wife.
00:31:11 Claude's wife!
00:31:17 So...
00:31:20 This is it, huh?
00:31:22 Yeah, I guess it is.
00:31:23 I go back to New York tomorrow.
00:31:26 Well, how often
00:31:29 I generally don't have time
00:31:31 You know.
00:32:08 Gerald!
00:32:11 Yeah?
00:32:13 You ever been to New York?
00:32:15 No, but I've always wanted to go.
00:32:17 Well, if I send you a plane ticket,
00:32:20 I think I can buy my own plane ticket.
00:32:24 Well, you just got one.
00:32:29 Hey, Kelli!
00:32:31 Merry Christmas.
00:32:33 Merry Christmas, Gerald.
00:32:42 Santa's coming to town.
00:32:51 Looks like I was missed, huh?
00:32:53 And you're gonna find out
00:32:55 - Soon as you get out of those clothes.
00:32:59 Why don't you go wash
00:33:02 Good idea.
00:33:03 - I'll take a shower real quick.
00:33:07 - Baby, you been working out?
00:33:10 That thing's paying off.
00:33:12 Looking good!
