Madea Goes to Jail Page #10
officially processed.
What does that mean?
That means she will be
fingerprinted...
...and at some point she will stand
against the wall of shame...
...and have her mugshot taken.
What a fall from grace
for Linda Davis.
Hey, turn the TV on.
What's wrong with you?
Bernice Davis...
...Ida Mae Jones...
...Takeda Matthews...
...Andrea Thomas...
...Candace Collins...
...Mabel Simmons...
...and Elizabeth Bryant.
There's been an investigation
in the DA's office...
...that has led
to the overturning of your convictions.
Get your things. You're going home.
What?
Group hug.
Do you feel justice was served?
Yeah, justice is served.
You know, justice with-
Brian knows about the justice.
I just think that we all are really happy
that justice has been overturned.
And you know what? I'm gonna go
buy her a white dress with a white hat.
White ruffle pants, white ruffle socks
and shoes. Going to Church this time.
The person to ask is Madea.
Here she comes now.
Soldier boy.
I've nothing to say.
I've nothing to say.
It's just been really tough
being up in that prison.
They did all this stuff to try to get me
down but do- You can't keep me down.
Praise the Lord. God bless you.
Hallelujah.
They tell me you're the best.
Well, look, I don't usually do this.
I mean, you need to know that.
I don't usually see people individually.
I saw the videotape of you
getting arrested and I thought...
...I've got to see this woman.
- You can't think what you did was okay.
- You don't know what happened.
What do you mean? I saw it on tape.
I saw you forklift the lady's car...
- ... out of a parking space.
- You're talking about that time.
I ain't know what you talking about.
Oh, they had that on video too?
Know what, that woman just-
I've been riding by that parking lot...
...my air conditioner don't work
in my Cadillac, that '78 Cadillac.
And I was driving around
and could not get a parking spot.
There she was, zoomed in there,
knew I was waiting for that spot.
- What else was I supposed to do?
- Well, you go on to another space.
Do you have to be in control
all the time?
No, I don't have to be in control.
That was my parking spot.
I wasn't going to another space.
That was the closest to the door.
That's the one I want.
It's not just about you.
It's not just about you all the time.
In my world, it's about me.
This is Madea's world.
It's about me, Dr. Phil.
Do you get angry
when you feel out of control?
I'm never angry. I keep telling people
I am not angry, okay?
Somebody do something to me,
I do something.
You don't bother me,
I don't bother you.
You weren't angry when you
flipped over this car?
I was calm and cool as a cucumber.
- I was sitting there smoking a cigarette.
- Are you crazy?
A little bit.
- I got a question for you.
- I got a question too.
- What about your childhood?
- What about your childhood?
Talking about my childhood
is not gonna help your anger.
I keep saying I'm not angry.
- But you keep insisting I am.
- Are you happy to be talking to me?
I would much rather be at the casino
playing blackjack or something.
But they told me I have to see you.
- So I'm here.
- Why?
Because the court made me.
You forklift a woman's car
out of the parking lot.
Does that seem reasonable to you?
She took the parking spot.
- It isn't your parking spot.
- Yes, it was.
Did it have your name on it?
Did it have your name on it?
It had handicap.
That matches what I had in my car.
She took it with her little convertible
Well, yeah, I believe
the handicapped part. I got that.
What are you trying to say?
Something's wrong with me?
Did you see me walk in here? I'm fine.
What are you doing
in the handicapped space?
Because it was closer to the door.
What?
It's closer to the door.
They always leave the handicap
close to the door.
That's why I take it.
Do you feel
like you always have to get even?
- Hell, yeah.
- Why do you always have to get even?
Why can't you just let it roll off
like water off a duck's back?
Because I ain't no damn duck.
You don't have to attack people.
Somebody do something to you,
you do something to you.
The Bible said in second Deutoronomo,
the book of Jericho that:
"The eye for a tooth,
a tooth for the people.
If everybody got the eye,
punch them in it. "
- What?
- I can tell you don't read the Bible.
Bible say, "Turn the other cheek. "
Somebody hit that cheek,
turn the other. You have two cheeks.
How many you gonna let them hit
before you whup their ass?
I don't think
you have to whup their ass.
It ain't about ass-whupping.
You don't open up a can of whupass
on everybody that you meet.
- You go with the flow.
- What do you mean?
Letting people walk over you
like a doormat?
No. I've been in this life too long to
let some people just walk all over me.
- I'm not gonna do that.
- But it's easy for you to get bothered.
It doesn't take a whole lot
for you to get bothered.
"No, it doesn't. "
"Yes, it does. "
"I beg to differ. "
- Do you sleep well at night?
- Do you sleep well at night?
Okay, let's try not to answer a question
with a question, okay?
If you stop asking questions
I'll stop answering with a question.
- Can you stop?
- Can you stop?
Okay, all right. Look, look.
Are you getting angry, doctor?
Yeah, I'm getting angry.
- Answer the question.
- Answer what question?
This isn't working. This isn't helping.
I told the judge
I didn't need to come here.
- But you're here.
- Yes, I am here.
- You're not making any sense.
- You're not making any sense.
Do you talk to people
like this all the time?
What? What are they gonna do?
I'm 6-foot-5,
what the hell are they gonna do?
Yes, I say what's on my mind.
Ain't nobody gonna run over me.
I'll say what's on my mind.
Well, what's on your mind?
What's on your mind?
Okay, wh-? Is there-?
What are you, a parrot?
Is there an echo in here?
There's not a parrot, not an echo.
None of those things are in here.
I'm talking. They told me to see you.
You're supposed to help me.
I keep telling I'm not angry.
- You're not angry?
- No, I'm not angry.
I don't know how many times I have
to tell you I'm not angry, Dr. Phil.
- How can you tell if you're angry?
- I could tell if I'm angry, if I'm angry.
- If I was angry I would know I'm angry.
- You don't think you're angry now?
- No.
- You're yelling, you're screaming.
- You're yelling.
- You're driving me crazy.
But you're the doctor.
You're supposed to handle this hell.
You're a psychologist.
You've studied with the best.
You been all over the world
learning about people.
- And you let a little woman upset you.
- They never told me about you.
I missed that class,
I can tell you for sure.
I missed the class
where they went over Madea.
- Right. Madea 101, baby. You learn it.
- Yeah.
All right, look. We're getting nowhere.
