[Men coughing]

MAXINE: No.
:06:20
FAITH: Oh, my God.
:06:22
REVEREND WILLIAMS:
Oh, my goodness.

:06:25
Oh, no.
:06:26
MAXINE: What happened?
:06:27
KENNY: I don't know.
:06:29
I...
:06:31
LEM: Ohh.
:06:38
I forgot.
I left the towel on the stove.

:06:43
MAXINE: Oh, Ahmad...
:06:45
[Thud]
:06:46
ALL: Aah!
:06:50
MAXINE:
Uncle Pete, are you all right?

:06:52
Got a little on your face.
:06:54
He didn't mean nothing.
:06:56
This is, uh, my surprise,
everybody.

:07:00
Uncle Pete.
:07:04
KENNY: Uncle Pete?
:07:07
[Maxine laughs]
:07:08
KENNY: I'm--I'm sorry, man.
:07:10
AHMAD: Look at this.
:07:11
-What?
-What?

:07:13
LEM: Ho ho!
:07:14
AHMAD: Look at all this money!
:07:15
WOMAN: Yay!
:07:18
AHMAD: Big Mama really had
hidden a pile of money.

:07:20
It was in the last place
we'd look--

:07:24
Uncle Pete's TV.
:07:25
[Cheering]
:07:27
AHMAD: Now I understand
what soul food was all about.

:07:30
During slavery, black folks
didn't have a lot to celebrate.

:07:33
Cooking was how we expressed
love for each other.

:07:37
That's what
those Sunday dinners meant.

:07:39
More than just eating.
:07:41
It was a time for sharing
our joys and sorrows.

:07:43
Something old folks say
is missing in today's families.

:07:49
Things got better
for my family after that.

:07:51
Even though Miles
and Aunt Teri broke up...

:07:53
that doesn't stop Miles
from coming over...

:07:56
and filling his belly
with Mama's soul food.
