It don't matter if Sister
wears that mink stole or not...

:45:06
because she is dead.
:45:10
And she's gonna be buried shortly...
:45:12
and everybody will just forget about it
in no time flat anyway.

:45:15
It don't matter!
:45:17
So just hush up!
:45:19
Both of ya!
:45:22
[ Breathing Heavily ]
:45:26
- You wanna know why she don't
want Mama buried in that stole?
- No! I don't want to know!

:45:31
'Cause she wants it for herself.
:45:33
Why would I, of all people,
want that mangy, old mink stole?

:45:37
It's an antique and it's valuable.
:45:41
And that stole is in real good shape.
:45:44
- [ Scoffs ] Please.
- Don't try to deny it, Latrelle.

:45:47
Although, that is your specialty,
if I'm not mistaken: Denial.

:45:51
What are you talking about?
Denial. Denial about what?

:45:55
Denial about everything.
About how Mama died.

:45:58
And about why you want to
keep Brother Boy cooped up
like some damn animal.

:46:02
- And why is that, pray tell?
- Never mind.

:46:04
No, I want to hear this.
:46:06
[ LaVonda ]
Look, all I am saying is that--

:46:10
- You know how close me and Ty are--
- Don't you dare...

:46:13
bring my son into this sordid picture.
:46:15
What does my son have to do with this?
:46:17
All I'm saying is that Ty
has more in common with Brother Boy...

:46:21
- than you're willing to admit.
- Oh, Lord.

:46:23
I think you blame Brother Boy
for the way Ty is.

:46:25
Ty isn't anything. So you just
shut your mouth about my son.

:46:28
I went out to L.A.
to see a play he was in.

:46:31
- You did what?
- I went out to L.A.

:46:35
To see Staccato.
Opening night.

:46:39
And he was real good.
:46:41
Sissy, the play was spectacular.
:46:45
It was very... sensuous...
:46:49
with a powerful message.
:46:51
And I went out afterwards
with Ty and the all-male cast,
and we went to an all-male bar.

:46:56
-That's when he told me.
-My son is not a homosexual! So shut up.

:46:59
- I don't wanna hear this.
- You're in denial, Latrelle.
