That old lady is crazy.
You can say that again.
Good morning, all.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
over the weekend?
Yes.
You're watching
- It's all over the news.
- Right.
Now, that old woman has been giving
the police the blues all of her life.
- She was an ugly baby.
- Okay.
- Oh, my goodness.
Illegal gambling at 18.
That Afro is thirsty.
Check fraud.
Not bad. Not bad.
- Identify theft.
- Lord, help her.
Insurance fraud.
Okay, everything,
except attempted murder.
- Attempted murder.
- There we go.
Oh, my goodness.
- Assault.
- Nice.
The list goes on and on
and so on and so on.
Unfortunately, our fine officers may
have made a mistake on her takedown.
So we have to handle this with care.
Who wants it?
Don't all volunteer at the same time.
You're supposed to be helping me.
We have no volunteers
for the Simmons case?
Okay.
Linda, it's all yours.
Thank you. Stop laughing.
By the way, let's congratulate
our Linda Davis...
...on her 89 percent conviction rate.
Thank you.
With numbers like that,
you'll be DA one day.
- Okay.
- That's my girl.
Everyone else, let's check the boards
for the new cases and let's get to court.
All right.
- Honey, there goes our appointment.
- I know.
And you're all broken up about it.
- I am. I got a lot of work anyway.
- I know.
That's all right. After this case,
it's just you and me, Tanya.
Good, that will give me time
to talk you out...
...of these taffeta
bridesmaids dresses.
Wha-? You like them,
don't you, baby?
Take my advice,
just nod and say yes.
- Of course.
- You're weak.
Yeah, he's smart.
- You're smart.
- I'm smart.
- Thank you.
- I'll see you later.
- All right.
- Sign that for me. Thank you.
- And you have fun with that.
- Thank you.
So...
- You set a date.
- Yes, I set a date.
You know you're gonna need
a best man.
Told you I got brothers.
But your brothers have not been
the kind of friend that I've been to you.
Chuck, the only reason you wanna be
in my wedding is you wanna be seen.
- That hurts.
- Yes.
That really hurts.
But you are right.
Linda's parents, they're loaded, Josh.
The governor's gonna be there.
The mayor's gonna be there.
- Get out of here.
- Come on. Hook your boy up.
- I need you to be my usher.
- I don't want- Listen.
- That's an important job.
- What can I say?
I just don't know.
I just don't know, Cora.
I just don't know.
Uncle Joe, are you all right?
Uncle Joe?
Breathe, Joe, breathe.
You- You okay?
I'm good, Cora. Turn that oxygen up.
You're not supposed to be smoking
around oxygen. That's the problem.
Oxygen is everywhere in the air.
If you light a cigarette,
you're lighting it in oxygen.
If you ain't got oxygen,
fire won't work.
- Learn some chemistry, honey. Learn.
- Chemistry?
What the hell you talking about?
You don't know what you talking about.
- Oh, you-
- This helps my-
My blood pressure.
Smoke to help my blood pressure.
Fool around and blow you,
That's right.
This here is good for you.
It's good for you.
It came straight down from heaven.
God sent it down- And he sent Viagra.
He sent this and he sent that oxygen.
You put them all together, you'll take
Thank you.
How you gonna sit there,
talk about God...
...with a joint in your hand
and some Viagra?
God made this.
He made the birds and the bees
and the flowers and these trees.
Joe, you're just like your sister.
Both of y'all are going to hell.
- What?
- Uncle Joe.
- You want some?
- Joe-
- No. I need you to focus, Uncle Joe.
- Focus on what?
Why were you running from
the police? Madea? What happened?
Mabel always running
from the police, Cora.
You're mama been running
from the police. She's a ho.
Po-po. The po-po come,
she's running like a ho.
Your mama always running
from the police.
I'm sorry to tell you,
your mama is a po-po ho.
That fool is a thug.
That's right. Your mama a gangsta.
King Kong ain't got nothing on her.
- Got nothing on her.
- Daddy.
- You go on-
- How you all doing?
- Hey, Brian.
- I just saw the news.
What is going on
with you and Madea?
- What's happening? Are you all right?
- I ain't all right.
What's wrong?
I can't feel my big toes.
Thank you.
I'll tell you, when your parents get to be
a certain age, it's like raising children.
My kids don't give me trouble
like you and Madea are giving me.
What is the matter?
Have you lost your mind?
Madea's on probation. I don't know
what she was thinking about.
I got her out of trouble.
She's going to jail this time.
To the big house, prison, the slammer.
They're gonna lock her up...
...press her down, shake it together,
gonna be in her bosom.
- I'm telling you, she-
- Mr. Brown!
Too much?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Oh, wait, y'all go ahead.
Finish what y'all were saying.
Come on, Cora, let's go to down there,
see if we can get her out there.
They gonna lock her up.
She's going to the slammer.
- To the big jail.
- Mr. Brown.
- We don't need you to go.
- I got to go. They'll put her in Alcatraz.
She's gonna be in solitary condition.
They gonna lock her big behind.
- It's Alcatraz.
- Bye.
Get the hell on out of here.
Better behave yourself while I'm gone.
What the hell I'm gonna do?
I'm so high, you look like
City of Atlanta v. Washington.
Miss, you were arrested
for prostitution.
Yes, Your Honor, she was.
Miss Washington...
...was arrested several times before.
Candy?
- Joshua?
- I'm sorry, Your Honor. I need to-
I need to pass this case
to my colleague.
It seems that I know this defendant.
Then get it to one of your colleagues.
- Hey, what's going on?
- I know her.
How?
It's a long story, but will you take it?
What's the case?
It's simple prostitution.
Then you have to take
my drunk and disorderly.
- Fine.
- Then give me a foot rub later.
- Okay.
- People, today.
Your Honor, Miss Washington has
been arrested twice for prostitution.
This woman was simply
walking home from the bus stop-
Save it. Save it. Bail is set
at $1500 cash or bond until trial date.
- Yes, $1500.
Miss Washington,
if you manage to make bail...
...you better be back for your trial.
- Do you hear me?
- Yeah.
If you're not here, you will regret it.
Go see the clerk for your trial date.
Next case.
City of Atlanta v. Mabel Simmons.
Hey, Cora. Hey, Brown.
If the Lord get me out of this,
I'm going by the church.
- Better mean it.
- I'll go by the church.
- You better mean it.
- I mean it.
Hey, Judge.
Oh, girl, your hair is so pretty.
Who's doing your hair?
Lord, have mercy. How you doing?
Mabel Simmons, you come before me
more than you go to the doctor.
Listen, I've changed my life.
