Matthew 18 Page #3

---

- Come on...

- What did you say?

- Hmm?

- Nothing.

- No loud rape music.

Are you talking about rap music?

Rap. Rape.

What's the difference?

I just know that I have

friendly neighbors around here,

and they will have none of it.

Now, also, you will be

paying all the utilities.

And if you don't,

they will be shut off.

Do you understand?

- Now...

- Yeah?

Let me give you a tour.

Right this way.

Okay.

This here is

Lifton Tyler's place.

I like Lifton. He's nice.

This is the kitchen.

Can we use the kitchen?

I'd like you to ask my

permission first, please.

This will be your room.

Great.

Ah, this looks so great.

Oh, my God!

Whoo, all right, then.

So, yeah, now...

I'm gonna go see

my aunt Jessie, so...

I'll take those,

but I'll see you later.

Thank you.

Oh, man.

That plane food was terrible.

So thank you for making this.

This is delicious.

You like my baked chicken?

You know I make the

best baked chicken at church.

Oh, Sister Dickenson,

she used to think

she can out-chicken me

but she can't out-chicken me.

She really can't

out-chicken me no more.

She couldn't out-chicken me

when she was living,

and she passed away last week.

Aunt Jessie!

I'm sorry, Lord!

It's the truth.

And your uncle Ellis

used to love my chicken.

- I know I'm a chicken baking

something girl.

- Mmm-hmm.

Mmm, and thank you for saving me

from that woman earlier.

Oh, don't worry about that.

She's just old and crabby

and ain't had any in 50 years.

- All dried up.

- I know.

Well, listen, who am I fooling?

I haven't had any in

four years since your

uncle Ellis passed away.

So I'm going through

a bit of a dry spell myself.

Weren't you talking

to that one guy?

- Charles Dixen?

- Yeah!

That weasel!

What happened with him?

He can't handle

all this, honey.

He can't take it.

You know, some men just can't

handle an aggressive woman.

That is true. Yes.

I agree with that.

Sometimes aggressive women make

a man all insecure and nervous.

And then li'l Johnny

want to run and hide.

And when li'l Johnny

run and hide, they wanna

run and hide with it.

Oh, my God!

And I say good, go.

Oh, my God. You are too much.

You are too much.

I know.

So, look um...

What do your um,

mother and father

think about the fact that

you came out here to

Minneapolis to go to school?

Well...

They're coming around, I guess.

But, you know,

they'd still rather have me

out there with them, so...

Well, I can understand that.

You know they love you a lot.

But, um, it is good that

you got out and...

You know, see the world

and get some independence,

you know?

That's what I told them.

Well, speaking of independence,

I have a little

present for you.

A little gift.

Not much. Just a li'l something.

What's this?

Aunt Jessie, you don't have

to give me this.

No, I want you to have it.

They raised $2500 for me

before I came out here.

So let me borrow $50 then.

Listen, you keep it anyway.

Just, you know,

some pocket change.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you, but...

I promise you I will be

getting a part time job

while I'm out here.

I'm glad to hear that.

How do you plan on

getting back and forth

to this part time job?

I haven't figured it out yet,

but the bus line

is pretty easy, right?

No. The bus system is rat sh*t.

No niece of mine is

gonna ride the bus

if I can help it,

and I can help it,

so why don't you drive...

The car!

Aunt Jessie, really?

Thank you!

- Well, that's just a...

- Oh, my God!

Ever since your uncle Ellis

passed away, I've been

driving his car,

which is now mine.

That car has been

sitting here collecting dust,

so it's yours to drive

while you're here.

Oh, thank you so much.

- Mmm-hmm

- Aw!

It's all good.

Thank you.

When do we get to see it?

Well, let's clear

the dishes first.

- All right.

- Okay.

And then I'm gonna need you to

go help wash my clothes,

and make up my bed,

clean the bathroom.

No, I'm kidding. Come on!

Mom.

Yes, I know what I'm doing.

It's Michelle's choice.

Michelle's choice?

What are you talking about?

You know.

Jessie will be there.

She'll be fine.

Jessie? You know

Jessie's not fit, right?

She drove herself off

the side of the road.

Jessie? Man, no!

You know that was an accident.

An accident?

Have you spoken to her?

What is wrong with you?

And Harris.

Michelle needs to be here

in seminary school.

That was the plan.

That child needs to

remain in D.C.

and you need to

get her back here, now.

Claire, this is not good.

We're gonna have

to get together and

go into prayer on this.

Because you are not

following the plan.

What plan?

Claire, you know what

we're talking about.

Claire, who you talking to

this time of the night?

I got to go.

Claire Eugene, don't you

hang up that phone.

I got to go.

Claire?

You know who it is.

Oh, my God!

What the hell?

You scared the sh*t out of me.

You scared me.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh, my God! I'm sorry.

Have you seen an old lady

walk around here?

You mean other than

the grateful dead?

Yes, an additional old lady.

Not Miss Hillshire.

An additional old lady.

Like Tyler Perry?

No.

You're not doing any drugs?

Stop it.

No, I'm not on anything.

Oh, my God. Okay.

You know what?

It's all in my head probably.

I'm probably just making more

out of this than I should.

I tell you what?

If the b*tch come around again,

knock on my door and

I'll cold-knock the b*tch out.

- Right.

- Okay.

- You good? All right.

- All right, Lifton. Yes.

Yes, I will.

Probably some ghost...

Fat Kung Fu.

- You all right? Deal?

- Okay, Lifton.

- All right. Bye.

- Thank you.

- Let me know if you see anyone.

- Okay.

You must be Michelle Jamieson.

Yes. Hi, how are you?

Good. It's so nice to finally

put a face to the name.

Um, how was your flight?

It was great.

- Have a seat.

- Thank you.

Okay.

Michelle, you have been

one of the top recruits

for our pre-med program,

and we are thrilled

to have you here.

Thank you.

And I've done my research and

I'm equally impressed with

the program and the scholarship.

Oh, good.

Coming from D.C.,

we know that Georgetown is

one of our biggest competitors.

Now, I've seen your SAT scores.

Pretty impressive.

Thanks, but I'm sure you have

quite a range of applicants

around here that you could

have chosen from.

Yes, we do.

Michelle, the university

attracts and enjoys,

a broad range of diversity

among it's student-body.

We pull students from

all over the country,

to all over the world.

It's something that

we're quite proud of.

Have you settled in to

your new place yet?

It's coming along.

Hmm. I love that neighborhood.

Well now, as part of

the pre-med program,

there are a lot

of pre-requisites.

So we'll have to plan your

class schedule very carefully.

- And classes fill up fast,

so we better get started.

- Okay, great.

Oh, and before you leave

you'll want to visit

the university bookstore.
