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

: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.
:08:00
Lem and Bird are doing good.
:08:02
They got their own place...
:08:03
and they're expecting
their baby any day now.
:08:07
My mama and Aunt Teri are
cool again, at least for now.
:08:11
And Faith is finally a part
of the family, too.
:08:14
As you can see,
we didn't sell the big house.
:08:17
No way, no how.
:08:19
Even though we miss Big Mama's
cooking, laughter, and love...
:08:24
none of us feel
like life cheated her.
:08:26
She accomplished
what she set out to do--
:08:29
to build a strong family
with a rich tradition...
:08:32
and to leave love
in her footprints.
:08:35
Thanks, Big Mama.

BOYZ Il MEN SINGING:
You taught me everything
:08:45
Everything you've given me
:08:47
I'll always keep it inside
:08:50
And you're the driving force
in my life
:08:54
Yeah-eah-eah
:08:56
There isn't anything
or anyone that I could be
