[Plays slow ballad intro]
:04:03
Don't sweep the dust
straight out the door.
:04:06
If you do, you sweep out
the good fortune.
:04:08
Whatever that means.
:04:10
MAXINE: Didn't Daddy say that?
:04:12
Daddy was the most
superstitious man I ever met.
:04:15
LEM: I got one.
:04:17
[Plays moderate tempo]
:04:18
If you step on a crack,
you break your mama's back.
:04:27
Did you try my fish cakes?
:04:29
I made them this year,
and I'm very proud.
:04:32
My plate's full.
:04:34
My plate's full, too.
:04:36
Y'all ain't right.
:04:38
Y'all ain't right,
but that's all right.
:04:40
My boo likes 'em.
That's all that matters.
:04:43
You ain't got to worry
about cooking...
:04:46
'cause you can do hair.
:04:48
Miss Teri can't cook nothing.
:04:50
Right, Ma? That's why you
always had me cookin', huh?
:04:54
I wasn't in the kitchen 'cause
Mama and Daddy had me study.
:04:58
That's why
I'm a successful lawyer.
:05:01
AHMAD: Moms and Aunt Teri
don't get along.
:05:04
Never have, maybe never will.
:05:07
Big Mama said she should have
named them Vinegar and Oil...
:05:08
We have you down at 10:00
with Sterphan. Thanks. Bye.
:05:10
'cause they don't mix.
:05:12
It started in the early
eighties, before I was born.
:05:12
I knew you'd call.
:05:14
Simuel. Let me take
your briefcase, baby.
:05:14
It started in the early
eighties, before I was born.
:05:17
The rule was if one of
the Joseph girls had a date...
:05:17
-Come on over here.
-Here we go.
:05:19
I'm glad you made it.
:05:20
a sister had to come along,
like a chaperone.
:05:21
There's something
I wanna talk about.
:05:23
-Is that right?
-Yeah. Have a seat.
:05:24
When Teri and my pops
were going out...
:05:25
Why don't you let me
hook up your fade?
:05:26
Big Mama had Moms tag along,
in case Pops tried anything.
:05:27
-Fade?
-Yeah.
:05:29
Edge you up,
clean you up a little bit.
:05:30
MAXINE: Hey, all right.
:05:32
You're looking good,
but I can make it better.
:05:33
Check it out, y'all.
Unh! Mm-hmm.
:05:35
Dig that.
:05:39
He-e-e-ey.
:05:41
That's how you got to work it,
how you got to skate.
:05:41
What's this all about...hmm?
:05:44
That's how you gotta do it. Ow!
:05:46
What do you mean?
:05:48
You acting like I'm Big Willie
or something.
:05:51
You treating me all good.
What's going on?
:05:51
KENNY: You all right?
:05:56
Actually, l, um...
:05:57
I need a favor.
