Madea Goes to Jail Page #4

---

you said, man, come over here.

- Hey, baby.

- Hey, how are you doing?

- How are you?

- Oh, I am good.

Okay, you know what,

I'm gonna leave you lovebirds alone.

- I gotta-

- Where you off to?

I gotta-

- You ain't going nowhere.

- I got a date, so- Yeah.

- What's your date's name?

- Well, lucky girl.

Leave me alone. I'm out.

So today was incredible.

I found these shoes.

The girls are gonna flip out.

I found the most amazing dressmaker

and she agreed to do the dress for us.

- That's great.

- I know.

Did you find any places

for the honeymoon?

No, actually I was-

I was-

I was looking for some of

Candace's family in Texas.

Okay, so you're still talking

about this prostitute?

- Why are you calling her a prostitute?

- That what she is.

Baby, where I'm from, if somebody

needs help, you try to help them out.

Okay, sweetie...

...you know that you can only

help someone that wants to be helped.

Those people don't want help.

- Why do you call them those people?

- I mean, those people.

People like her,

from that side of the tracks.

I'm from the same street.

- We were in college together.

- That doesn't make any difference.

It's not the same thing with you.

Sweetie, she's not like you.

It is her own fault if she didn't

make something of herself.

Linda, you've always had things

handed to you.

You've always been, like,

daddy's little princess.

Until you're on the streets,

you wouldn't understand.

That is my cue to leave.

- I'm gonna let you cool off for a minute.

- Wait, Linda.

- Yes?

- I'm sorry.

I am, but it bothered me seeing

that woman on the street.

- It bothers you.

- Yes, it bothers me.

Okay, when she stops bothering you,

why don't you give me a call?

- Linda. Linda, hey.

- Okay?

- I don't want you to go.

- I don't wanna hear about this girl.

I'm done with her.

Now, you've helped her enough.

You won't hear about it again.

You still out here?

Yeah, girl. It's a slow night.

No, it's not.

Those Army boys just got paid.

Turned down, like, three

when I was here before.

What's up, girl?

I ran into somebody who I knew

from before earlier today.

Oh, I see.

You started thinking

what your life could have been.

No, not me. I know I ain't got no time

to be chasing no dreams.

You ain't like the rest of us, Candy.

You can get out of here

and make something of yourself.

What, me some Betty Crocker mom

or something?

No, you smart.

I see how you be reading them books.

Listen, Terry McMillan ain't doing

nothing to get me no fix, okay?

All I'm saying is if anybody

can get out of here, you can.

I've seen you talk to people.

I've seen you talk your way

out of all kinds of stuff.

You can do it.

Whatever, Donna. Please.

All right, I'm gonna make a deal

with you.

If I get off these streets,

you gotta get off these streets.

All right, that's a bet.

Maybe we can help each other.

Now, you know we always do, girl.

You know what I was thinking about?

- Remember we were in New York?

- Donna!

Candy, come on. Run. Run!

- You think you can hide from me?

- No.

I told you, you ain't gonna be out

here solo, Donna. Do you hear me?

- Okay.

- Now, get your ass out of here.

Okay, Donna. Let's go.

- No, no, no. Not you.

- No. What do you want?

You want a woman.

You don't want her.

- I see what I want. Get out of here.

- She's just been here.

I'm trying to show her the ropes.

She ain't ready. She ain't ready!

Get off of her!

Where you think you're going?

Where do you think you're going, girl?

You ain't going nowhere.

You understand me?

- Where do you think you're going?

- Please, please, please.

I won't tell anybody, I promise.

- What, you think that scares me?

- Please.

Please. Please let me go.

Please let me go.

What are you gonna do for me

if I let you go?

What do you want me to do?

You belong to me.

You're my slave.

If a slave wanna be free,

they got to buy their freedom.

Okay. Okay.

I want you to get in that bathroom.

I want you to get cleaned up.

I can get a premium for you.

All right, go on, baby.

Come on, it's all right.

Gonna learn you ain't protected on

these streets unless you got a pimp.

Do you understand?

I got this nice party

I'm gonna take you to.

A lot of new potential clients,

couple of G's easy.

I want you to make yourself

look real nice, girl.

I got a good feeling about you.

You're gonna be

one of my special girls.

Don't be wasting time in there, girl.

Come on, now.

We gotta be running now.

I don't wanna be late.

Get on with that shower in there,

Candy.

What's going on in there?

Candy.

Candy.

Operator, I need district attorney...

...Josh Hardaway.

Just connect me to his phone, please.

It's an emergency.

Hello.

Hey.

You okay?

Are you serious?

Where are you?

Okay, I'm coming right now.

I'm coming r- I'm coming right now.

All right. I know. All right.

Bye.

Candace.

Can you walk? Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Thanks. I'm okay.

Baby?

I fell asleep.

How come you're not in bed, sweetie?

What? What's the matter?

I can explain. I can-

Is that my robe?

- You can explain?

- She's in trouble. I'm trying to help.

Why did you bring her here?

Linda, she needs somebody.

I don't care what she needs.

Shush? Are you kidding me?

What is it with you and this girl?

What is going on here?

Linda, I told you.

- I'm the only one that can help her out.

- No.

You have some decisions to make

and some thinking to do. I am leaving.

And stop shushing me. Shushing me

so the prostitute can sleep?

I am done, Josh.

I cannot believe this.

Linda, just don't slam the door.

You slammed it.

Can't even shut the door...

You always did know

how to pick them.

She's not your type.

How you know what my type is?

You haven't seen me in five years.

Josh, I know you, okay?

She is not it.

She's entirely too much of a princess.

It ain't gonna work.

I bet-

I bet you ain't even proposed to her.

Then why do you think

we're getting married then, smarty?

Because she told you you were.

Oh, you don't know me.

You think you know me

but you don't know me, girl.

Josh, I know you. We grew up toge-

We spent every day together

when we were kids.

I know you.

Candace, people change.

I know that's right.

- You're shaking. Are you cold?

- No.

This ain't the cold shakes, baby.

When did you start using?

When you got out of school?

I had to find some way to cope

just like you.

What are you talking about, me?

Ambition, working two jobs.

While you were in school full-time?

You did that so you wouldn't have

to think about what happened.

That's an interesting concept you got.

Josh, I don't wanna

talk about this, okay?

All right, we don't have to.

We don't have to talk.

Hey, Josh.

Yeah.

You remember that bed and breakfast

we were gonna open in Savannah?

Down by the river. Bells.

I remember Bells.

- You remember?

- Yeah, I remember.

Oh, Josh.

I was gonna buy it...

...and live happily ever after.

So why didn't you buy it?
