:03:00
about the things
that pulled us together...
:03:03
and things
that tried to pull us apart.
:03:06
AHMAD: Let's see.
Where should I begin?
:03:09
EMCEE: Give it up for the last
Joseph sister to get married--
:03:12
Bird and Lem.
:03:13
AHMAD: Aunt Bird's wedding
is as good a place as any.
:03:16
Everyone who was anyone
was there.
:03:19
EMCEE: Just the party people
to the dance floor.
:03:21
If you got more than $5.00,
let me see you shake it!
:03:25
We got food! We got music!
:03:27
We got a party happening here!
:03:30
There you go, Big Mama!
:03:31
AHMAD:
That's my mom and dad dancing.
:03:34
They got two and a half kids--
me, my sister Kelly...
:03:38
and whoever that is in the oven.
:03:41
That's Aunt Teri
and Uncle Miles--
:03:43
Iike Miles Davis.
:03:44
They're both lawyers
and got big-time dough.
:03:47
I'm talkin' dollar bills, y'all.
:03:51
The bride is Big Mama's
youngest, Aunt Robin.
:03:54
We call her Bird
'cause she used to be skinny.
:03:59
The groom is my new uncle, Lem.
:04:01
Folks are always doggin' him
'cause he's done time in jail.
:04:05
MOTHER JOE: Go on, baby.
Go pin it on her.
:04:08
AHMAD: That's Big Mama there.
Big Mama Joe.
:04:11
People always said she never
made one enemy in her life...
:04:15
'cause if she did...
:04:17
she'd feed 'em her green beans,
sweet potato pie...
:04:20
and Southern fried chicken...
:04:22
and they'd be down with her
after that.
:04:28
That's my baby.
:04:35
AHMAD: Reverend Williams--
:04:36
ain't even kin, but he's always
got something to say or eat.
:04:39
REVEREND WILLIAMS:
Mama Joe, how you doin'?
:04:41
You lookin' so good.
:04:42
Them daughters
are looking good, too.
:04:44
Especially that Lady Bird.
:04:46
I was teasin' her. I said,
"Would you marry the Reverend?"
:04:49
She said, "If I marry,
I need sex every night."
:04:52
I said,
"Put me down for Tuesday."
:04:54
EMCEE: Got to change it up.
:04:57
Something new.
:04:59
Something new
from the underground.
