being around them people all the time.
- I'd be, like, paranoid.
- Yeah.
Amare?
Amare, hold up!
Hey wait, Kelly!
What's going on?
Who is that?
You okay?
What do you think
you're doing?
Do you know the fright you gave me when
I looked in your room and you were gone?
Where have you been?
And don't even think
about lying to me.
I was out with Markus.
Till 1:
00 in the morning?Have you lost your mind?
- I'm sorry, Grandma, but...
- But nothing!
I do not want you having
the same kind of life as your mother!
I can't stand it!
I can't stand it!
Now, you need
to be very careful
about the people that
you pick for your friends
and the influence that
they have on your life.
You have to be very careful,
and I'm not putting up with it.
And I don't want to see it again.
I don't want you coming
in here this time of night.
I want you coming in here
at a reasonable time.
And if you can't come
in here at a reasonable time,
then you don't need to go out.
Or you need to go someplace else
where they don't have
any rules and regulations.
Grandma, it's not what you think.
I saw Amare and he left before
I even had a chance to talk to him.
That boy has brought
nothing but trouble
into this house.
Grandma, he's sick
and he's gonna die
if somebody doesn't help him.
You might not care
about that, but I do!
Don't talk to me about
I don't care. Nuh-uh.
Amare's welcome in this house
as long he's willing to abide
by the rules and regulations.
And last summer, when
he started all of that,
"Oh, the house got robbed" stuff,
I'm sorry, baby, but
that was unacceptable to me.
I'm willing to help Amare
when he's ready.
Well, Grandma,
it's kind of crazy
'cause I feel like half the time
he doesn't even want my help.
and I don't understand why
he would do something like that.
Well, that's just like your mother.
She tried every trick in the book.
But Ma is not like Amare.
Ana hurt me.
It's taken me a long
time to forgive her.
I try my best to remember
everything she's done with herself
ever since she stopped
messing with those drugs...
because she does try.
Hey, Sandra.
- Hey.
- How's it going?
Bad day, Ana.
She was just in here last week.
It wasn't the virus that killed her.
Her husband shot her.
Did you do a
domestic-violence screening?
I asked her.
Hey.
There wasn't anything
else you could have done.
I'm sorry, girl.
Damn, Deyah.
Why didn't you say something?
Already?
Mm-hmm.
Some college girl took it.
The realtor said her
father's putting up cash.
I know. Surprised me too.
Did Kelly say what
she wanted to do yet?
Ask her. Kelly!
Ma, don't put me in that position.
Ana wants to ask you a question.
So, you watch that
Yeah, he crazy.
Why don't you come live with me
when your grandma moves?
But, Ma...
you know I always wanted
to leave New York.
And I'm going to college
down south anyway.
It'll be a good transition.
So, that's it. You decided?
Mm-hmm.
Look, Ma, don't take it personally.
I just think it would be a good idea.
It's not me I'm worried about.
It's... it's Kim.
Maybe we should cut back
on the sleepovers,
'cause she really
looks up to you
and we got to make it so she don't feel
so much when y'all leave her.
move down south with us.
She could have a backyard,
ride a bike in the streets.
It would be a real childhood.
What the hell are
you talking about?
- It was just an idea.
- You ain't taking my child nowhere,
- you stuck-up little b*tch!
- Excuse me?
You heard me!
- Good, stop then!
- Live with your grandmother!
Maybe next time you see me
I'll be dead in my grave!
That's some straight bullshit!
I ain't the one that
gave you the virus, ma!
Go get with Slick on that!
- You leave Slick out of this!
- You ain't gonna make me
feel guilty because you're sick,
because you was a f***ing fiend.
It's too hot for you
to be working out here.
I'm just doing
what I got to do.
Dropped Kim off at my mom's.
And?
She sold the house.
She's taking Kelly
to Virginia with her.
Oh yeah?
That's all you got to say?
Moving down south.
Sh*t, that's the Black American dream.
Let 'em live it.
They want Kim to go, too.
Oh, hell no.
She ain't going down there.
Yeah, exactly. Now you know
how I feel about Kelly.
You gotta want what's best for Kelly,
not what's best for you.
I'm telling her she can't go.
Oh, that might work.
Shut up, Slick. You know,
I could use a little support right now.
Ana, I'm about tired
of this sh*t.
You ain't the only
one that's sick.
You ain't the only
one hurtin'.
Yeah, well, this ain't about you
and how you feel. It's about Kelly.
You tripping, Ana.
You acting like a fiend.
And I feel for Kelly.
Got you clocking her every move.
Lucille ain't taking
her away from me again.
Well, we're gonna talk
about Kelly when I get home.
You know, you never did
care about her anyway.
Even when she was a little girl
you refused to be her daddy.
Oh, hold on now.
Hold on now, that's not true.
Because we both know
First, I'm the guy that
her mama met running in the street,
and then I'm the guy
gave her mama HIV.
And you never did
She wasn't wrong.
You know, you can be
a straight up b*tch, Ana.
I was careful. You was the one
that got buck-ass wild,
shooting up with strangers
on the f***ing corner and sh*t!
Are you ever gonna let that go?
Because we both know the game, baby.
It could've just as easily been
you that gave it to me.
Yeah, but I didn't, Slick.
Because I handled my business!
You the one that let it slip,
and you brought me down
right with your ass!
- F*** you, Ana!
- Slick...
You just better
get the f*** out of my face.
I lost custody of
my daughter when I was 25...
'cause of the drugs.
I signed her over to my mother.
And now my mother's about
to move back to Virginia...
my daughter with her.
And I just...
I miss her, you know?
I just miss her.
I just miss her all the time.
I miss what I missed of her...
growing up, you know?
And I got a younger
daughter and we so tight,
and now I'm clean, I'm sober.
I'm like, I try my best
to be a great mother...
but every day I spend
with my younger daughter
how much I missed
with my older daughter.
And she could be so f***ing
sarcastic sometimes,
and angry with me,
and my mother
is the same way.
Sometimes when my daughter talks,
I hear my mother's voice coming out
of her mouth and I know that's
because she been with her that long,
it's not my own. My own is
and I want my own voice
to come out sometimes a little more.
Now that may be
completely selfish.
You know, you may say, "Ana, what
