Madea Goes to Jail Page #7

---

- I can't do this.

- Linda.

Please, come and lay with me, please.

Look, Candy.

I don't think that would be

a good idea, you know?

I don't mean like that.

Remember when we were little...

...and my stepdad would be trying

to get me, he knew you'd protect me.

Please, Josh, please.

Josh, please. Josh.

All right.

All right.

Okay.

It's gonna be okay.

This is the DeKalb County

SWAT Team.

Put your hands in the air

and walk backwards.

These are your Miranda rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up

the right to remain silent...

...anything you say can and will be

used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney

and have an attorney present...

- Don't move!

- I ain't going down without a fight.

- What you gonna do? Come on.

- You have the right to remain-

Don't- Put me down.

You're giving me a mammogram.

Candace.

Cand- Candy.

Good morning.

- You scared me.

- What are you doing here so early?

I am preparing for court.

You are preparing for court, huh?

This is the...

...Candace Collin's, Sarah Lester?

Wait, hold on, hold on.

I remember this one.

This is Sarah Lester.

Yeah, Sarah- Sarah Lester.

This case was closed

a couple years ago.

Are you padding this woman's file

with a closed case?

- Chuck, let me handle this, all right?

- You can't do that.

It's done.

So wait, wait, wait. Is this how you've

been winning all your cases, huh?

Is this how you've been

winning all your cases, Linda?

I'm not gonna stand by

and let you do this.

- I gotta-

- What?

What do you have to do?

Don't you forget

your bar exam, baby.

You remember how you cheated?

Don't try me, Chuck.

I have the proof.

And I will use it.

Why are you doing this?

I mean,

this woman has done nothing to you.

How would you know that?

He's not in love with her.

He loves you.

How deep is your commitment

to this girl, Josh?

You know, she's a friend.

A friend?

You know what a binge addict is?

No.

They could stay clean

for long periods of time.

Then something sets them off and they

can go off for days, weeks and binge.

Because this doesn't just go away

like a cold.

This is a disease that has to be cured.

And if you're in it for the wrong reasons

it's gonna destroy you so fast.

I'm gonna ask you again. How deep

is your commitment to this girl, Josh?

When we were-

We were both back in college...

...she-

I was the only person

that she knew at the school.

And I knew her

from the neighborhood.

You know, the other students,

they really used to make fun of her.

You know, like her hair

and her clothes.

I started getting embarrassed.

And they...

I started avoiding her.

When I was on the football team

we were having this, like, big party.

And...

...they told me...

...to invite Candy over, you know,

so I did.

I had a date. I really didn't wanna-

I really didn't wanna be there.

They told me that they would...

...you know, like,

keep her company while I was gone...

...and I came back that night.

And...

I came back-

I came back that night.

I came back that night.

And I went in my room.

And...

...they raped her.

They raped her.

And I didn't do-

I didn't do nothing about it.

I didn't do nothing about it. I'm like...

...you know, I'm like- What?

What? Candy, I'm sorry.

I never told her I'm sorry.

Josh, look at me, Josh.

You can't carry that weight.

- Why did I-? Oh, God, I had to go.

- You- Josh...

...look at me.

- Josh, look at me, please.

- Yes, I get it.

- Yeah, I'm trying.

- Look at me. Look at me.

- You can't carry that weight.

- Okay.

She had problems

long before that party.

- Mabel.

- Brown.

Listen,

I'm trying to see Judge Mablean.

- Will you please be quiet.

- I'm trying to pray for you.

God don't like you.

He grew you in a Petri dish, Brown.

- I'm trying to help you.

- I don't need you to help me here.

Hey, hey, Brian, hey.

Judge Mablean

always give me a slap on the wrist.

This is not Judge Mablean.

This judge is tough.

- How tough could he be?

- All rise. The honorable...

...Judge Mathis presiding.

You may be seated. First case...

...DeKalb County

calls Mabel Simmons.

Wait a minute.

- Is that who the hell I think it is?

- Yes.

- It's all spelled out there, Your Honor.

- Yeah, I'm looking at this case.

And your record is ridiculous,

ma'am.

I don't even know

how you still on the street.

- Your Honor, the reaso-

- I'm talking.

You should have been locked up

a long time ago with this.

- Your Honor-

- Look, I speak...

...you listen.

And then I will allow you to respond,

you understand?

Yes, sir.

Don't you go there, he talking.

Y'all better get it.

- Mabel, be quiet.

- Madea.

Better be quiet.

- What do you have to say for yourself?

- Now it's my turn to talk?

You've heard the saying, "Speak when

you're spoken to or otherwise shut up. "

It's time to say it.

That's how this go, huh?

I don't have time for this.

It's time for some sentencing. Bailiff,

what time you have on your watch?

Five to 10, judge.

Five to ten, that's your sentence.

- Have a good day.

- Oh, hell, no.

You gonna give me five years?

You ain't gonna take me back to jail-

Come here, what you gonna do?

What the hell are-?

Gonna take me out of here.

I ain't going. I ain't going.

I ain't going. I ain't going.

I ain't going. I-

Linda.

- Oh, hey, baby.

- Hey.

- Thanks for letting me borrow this.

- Oh, sure.

How'd it go today?

- Seventeen years.

- What?

Seventeen years?

Baby, it was only two counts.

Sweetie, you didn't see

her New York sheet.

It is as long as my arm.

- Wow, I had no idea she-

- I know, I know.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I really tried...

...to be lenient with her.

But, you know,

once the judge saw the charges...

...and on top of that,

she didn't show up today.

You know, maybe it's for the best.

Maybe now

she can get her life together.

Maybe you're right.

So she's still at your place?

No, she left.

Maybe now, I can...

...stop being mad at you and we can

go back to planning our future?

I would like that.

Me too.

- All right.

- Okay.

Hey, sweet thing.

What you looking for?

A good time.

What's it going to cost me?

I'll give you a special, $50.

Get in.

Where are you going?

Do you wanna party?

You need a date?

Hey.

Come on.

Put your damn hands off me.

Put your hands off me.

I'm telling y'all, ain't nobody- I ain't

scared of none of you. I ain't scared.

Yeah, keep it up. Keep it up.

I ain't scared of none of you.

I'm here, now let me go.

What the hell wrong with you?

How you doing?

Guess this is my cell.

What the hell you smiling for?

You the Martha Stewart of prison?

No.

I'm T.T.

- You're who?

- I'm T.T.

- Like two of these?

- I'm T.T.

Oh, T.T. T.T., how are you doing?

I'm Mabel,

but everybody call me Madea. Hello.

I'm so happy that we're sharing a cell.

This is your bunk. I made it for you.

Oh, thank you and I appreciate it.

I ain't into that.

Because you making a bunk...
