Dramatic Family Interaction Scene

Okay, go.

Hi, honey.

Hi, um, I am so sorry. This was, um, this was our

idea.

It was all your idea.

Oh, don't be silly.

Don't be silly.

I'm Vanessa.

I'm Lisa's sister.

It's really good to meet you.

This is your sister? Well, come here so you family, family, family,

come on.

Well, hey, hey, you guys carry on.

Do your thing, brother.

All right.

Have a good time.

Okay, put the music back on.

No, no, no.

He said you could go.

Why? He said it was okay.

Donna.

Look what she got back there. She don't need this. Come on.

Whatever.

Okay, I paid you for a full dance, so we gonna finish at my house, okay?

It was really good spending time with you.

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye, see you guys.

Call us.

I will.

Okay.

What you doing bringing him in my house?

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Long night?

Um, you wanna dance, honey?

Yes. Uh-huh.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

All right, y'all excuse us, please.

Remember this.

For sure.

She a lovely.

They are such a lovely couple.

Hmm. Why do you insist on embarrassing me?

I'm sorry, okay? I'm a little tired, that's all.

Well, I'll get you outta here.

I don't understand. Why-

Shut up.

He didn't take you anywhere.

Just wait.

Just wait.

Let's not wait, Carlos.

Just do it now.

Just hit me so all your friends can see what kind of a man

you really are.

But I have, I have no

peace.

You love to provoke me, don't you?

Why do you insist on doing things the hard way? You love it when I'm not myself.

You like the highs and lows of me.

Hmm?

But you'll always play the victim, baby.

I'm

leaving.

No,

no, no, no. Baby. Baby, this dance ain't over.

And if you think you're talking about leaving me, well,

I love you to death.

And I mean that.

Oh, hell no. Madea? No, Madea, y- you are

staying here tonight. Do you understand me?

Promise me you are not gonna say anything.

What's going on?

We have a friend, and

her husband is beating her, and we would just like to know what we

should do.

Before or after his funeral? Does she wanna get out?

Does she, Lisa?

Yes.

But he won't let her.

When you get tired of a man hitting on you, honey, ain't nothing you

can do but cook breakfast for him.

Cook breakfast.

Bring him into the kitchen and get you a big old pot of hot grits.

And when it start to boil like lava after he done got good and comfortable, you

say, "Good morning," throw it right on him.

Get you a pot like this.

Take it and throw it. You need you a skillet with a nice good

balanced weight on it, you understand?

And as you throw it, you swap. Throw it and swap. You hear me?

Throw it, swap.

Madea.

Venus and Serena. That's called grit ball. You all right?

Who is it?

Carlos.

You running from him?

Yeah.

It's time to stop running, honey, and fight.

Come in.

Madea.

Y- yeah, you look lovely.

Hmm.

You ready for my wedding?

I only go to church for two reasons, weddings and funerals.

Wonder what I'm dressed for today.

Can we, can we just, uh, just have a moment alone?

In my house? Hell no.

No, no, it's okay, Madea.

All right. Carlos, you look like you're hungry.

I got some hot grits over there on the stove. Lisa,

why don't you give Carlos some?

They hot. Yeah, Carlos, you casket sharp.

You must be out your mind. You got me all over this city walking

around.

Y'all don't even see where you're walking. Oh, look out.

Is everything all right?

It's fine, honey. I know that scream anywhere. Come on,

let's go to the church.

Praise the Lord. God is good. She in there playing grit ball.
