Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood Page #4
they might know something you don't.
It's not fair bringing kids we don't
have into this. That's a low blow.
That's the way I feel.
Stay there. Deal with it.
You deal with it.
Don't New Yorkers say goodbye?
Not when they're on their high horse
thinking they know so much.
I hate that.
Especially when they're right.
Whenever Charlie's right,
I just ignore him.
- Y'all ignored him, right or wrong.
- Not really.
Like hell we didn't. Took me 25 years
They just couldn't keep up with us.
I think we created our own world...
...where we still live happily
to this day.
Ya-Ya.
ignored Jack like Daddy.
No way, pal.
Jack was the love of her life.
- The kind you only get once.
- What happened?
How did Daddy wind up in the hot seat?
Viv.
Vivo.
Come on, we have to go
to Teensy's house.
- No.
- Come on.
I knowed something bad was coming.
Just yesterday,
I done heared that screech owl.
You killed my baby!
You killed my baby!
You drink champagne to his death.
You killed him, sure enough,
you killed my baby!
I don't think I can take any more.
Me neither.
I think I need to go home.
Are you all right to drive?
- Of course I am.
- Habit.
See y'all tomorrow.
Wasn't all just fun and games.
- So I see.
- Shall I make a long story short?
Not a dog tag, a shoe, nothing.
Genevieve got herself believing
for a while...
...that it was all a mistake.
He was still alive, somewhere.
Then she stopped believing,
and then...
...the good French lady...
...took her leave.
I knew I should've stopped
while I was behind.
Poor Teens.
Your mama rallied for her,
but the two of them...
...neither of them was ever the same.
I wish you could have known
what your mother was like as a girl.
- You would've loved her.
- Not loving her was never the problem.
Her not loving you
Well, what about Daddy?
Was she ever in love?
Or was he around for heavy lifting?
Your daddy knew Jack.
He said he'd rather play second fiddle
than not play in the band at all.
He thought he loved her enough
for both of them. Maybe he did.
Does.
Well...
...I gots some work to do
at the woodpile, honey.
Let's call it a night, shall we?
Night.
Smells good.
Now what's wrong, Vivi?
I'm still not Jack?
Shut up, Shep.
How long you gonna make us
suffer something that can't change?
Fine!
- Gonna feed your children?
- I don't care if you starve.
Hey, kid.
- I'll make dinner, Daddy, okay?
- Thank you.
I'll get the skillet. Don't touch it.
- One:
It's quiet,two:
There's any room for me!What? You go out there
You don't lift one finger
to help this family!
I don't? Look at my hands!
I don't want to look at your ugly
hands, or you to put them on me!
Don't worry! Drunk as you are all the
time, I don't want to be in the house.
You're disgusting!
God, I hate you, Shep! I hate you!
- She'll kill him first.
Hi.
- Why do you answer like that?
- Like what?
- Like you know it's me.
- But it is you.
I thought about what you said.
I know what you mean.
Your tone makes me think you don't.
Why would my kids feel that way
if I wasn't unfit?
- Our kids.
- Lf I wasn 't in some way damaged?
- That's what you're saying!
- Not even close.
There's no logic?
You simply said it to hurt me?
You're right. How can I know?
- So why risk it? Know what I mean?
- No.
Why risk doing to my children and you
what Mama did to me and Daddy?
Ask him about his life
while you're at it.
At what?
Figuring out if I'll ruin the lives
of our hypothetical children.
Okay, Sidda? No sh*t?
You're scaring me. Calm down.
Do not start that patronizing
"You're crazy now...
...so I won't make any sudden
moves till you're finished" thing.
- See? You're doing it!
- Okay! Uncle!
I'm painted into a corner where
nothing I say could be right.
You want to live painted
into a corner by an unfit mother?
No, no, no!
I'll make this easy.
Put this whole thing on hold...
...while you figure out how badly
I'll f*** up everybody's life.
Do not send those invitations!
Siddalee Walker? You are on the verge
of making a big mistake right now.
Well, so are you.
Only I'm not gonna let you.
Did she just call off our god...?
I don't have the number!
I don't have the goddamn number!
Okay. Vivi.
- Hello?
- Vivi?
This is Connor.
I don't...
- What?
- Emergency, Vivi! Do not hang up!
Oh, my God! Oh, no!
No! Not that. I just need
My God!
Don't you ever, ever, ever
do that to me again!
Sorry, I think she just called off our
goddamn life. I don't have the number!
What are you talking about?
She's with those friends of yours,
the Yo-yos, or Yee-haws...
The Ya-Yas?
Why would she run off with them?
She didn 't run off.
They came here and took her!
Oh, for Pete's sake. I gotta go.
Yes?
I don 't know
But I do know that now
you're ruining mine!
And your phone etiquette sucks!
He hung up on me.
Oh, what a surprise!
Look what the backstabbing,
traitorous cats dragged in!
Oh, look who it is!
All my old ex-friends!
And the biological fruit
of my womb that rotted!
Oh, sh*t.
What?
- Hi, honey!
- Hi!
Pull over!
I can't hear you!
Pull over!
- Pull over, Vivi.
- No!
Pull over, Vivi!
F*** off!
Go ahead, warn them.
Give them time to scatter like rats!
Oh, my God!
You are so lucky.
If you put one scratch on my baby,
I'd have your ass.
I demand that you move
this piece of sh*t out of my way...
...this very instant!
- Who do you think you're talking to?
- I know she's there.
Now what is going on?
Is betrayal absolutely everywhere?
Yes.
Your lifelong friends are programming
Somebody better tell me
what's going on.
Vivi, calm down.
You're just gonna have to trust us!
If you go there now,
you're gonna ruin everybody's life.
What is it with me
ruining everybody's life?
Everybody, Teensy?
Strangers are saying it now.
- What strangers?
- Connor. He yelled at me.
She's walked out on their life,
whatever that means.
Go! Go home. Now.
I'll knock you into the middle
of next week.
Then I'll kick your sorry ass
on Thursday.
Now get in the goddamn car
and go home!
Piece of sh*t.
That's ridiculous!
I don't think that's what he meant.
Listen, kids, we got to slow down
or I'll pop a lung.
Siddo, you come by your flair
for drama honestly...
...but you don't call off a wedding...
...and a 7-year relationship
based on a phone call.
Especially after the goofballs
we had you hopped up on.
Stop! I got to rest.
I didn't. That wasn't why.
Don't you think it's fishy
we're not married yet?
He started asking the first year.
I always resisted.
- Why is that fishy?
- Because!
Something must be wrong.
I've hit the snooze button
