Matthew 18 Page #4

---

Books are always

the first things to go.

Okay, perfect.

Now we've got to

get you into Biology.

I think here it looks like...

God, this is gonna take forever!

Girl, it's like this

every quarter.

So you've been here before?

Mmm-hmm.

This is my second year.

It's your first, huh?

Yup.

Okay. Picked a major yet?

Pre-med.

Ah. Okay, my girl's gonna

be a doctor, huh?

How about yourself?

Still undecided.

I was thinking

about law school but...

Honestly, I'm not trying to

be up in this motherf***er

for that long.

I'm not trying to deal

with these lines for

the next eight years, girl.

Right. This is terrible.

- So where you from?

- D.C.

Oh, okay. I got family

that live there.

- Really?

- Mmm-hmm.

Terry Richardson? His team took

State basketball last year.

Yeah. I was up at

a couple of his games.

- Really?

- He's really good.

- Yeah.

- Really good.

So did he end up getting

picked up by Georgetown?

Mmm-hmm. That boy

know he can ball.

Yes.

Oh, man.

Look, you wanna get out

of here real quick?

Girl, these books will be here

when we get back, trust me.

Come on.

Okay.

So what made you come

all the way to Minneapolis

from Washington D.C.?

You got relatives here?

Yeah, actually, I have

an aunt that lives here.

And the university gave me

a full four year scholarship.

What? Four year?

Damn, girl. What did you do?

Get a 2400 on your SAT?

Maybe.

No. I liked their

pre-med program too.

Oh, I heard about that.

They have

a really good program.

Yeah. So you from here?

Yeah, kinda. I've been here

since I was six.

Hmm.

- You live with your parents?

- Hell, no.

I could not wait to get away

from the house.

I know. I know.

That's why I came here

because I had to get

some distance from my family.

Yeah, I hear you.

So you stay on campus, right?

No, I actually have

my own place. Rent free.

Oh, rent free.

How did you manage that?

My mom, like,

had some property.

I guess her family had

some property and

she made some calls and

set it all up.

All I gotta do is pay utilities.

Damn. You're set, girl.

We should go get

those books though. I think

the line might have died.

Fine. We'll go get the books.

Yes, let's go.

Then after that, I'm gonna

show you around the city.

- Aunt Jessie.

- Hi, baby.

What you playing?

Supposed to be solitaire

but I don't really

know what I'm doing.

All right, there's

no joker in Solitaire.

Silly girl.

He isn't mine.

So, Aunt Jessie, how long

have you known about

this property that we have?

Maybe about ten years.

They didn't talk about it much.

I don't know much about it

or how your mother's

grandfather got it.

But I know that

old lady Hillshire

is sitting on a ton of it.

Ton of money.

So the property is

done that well a price?

Yeah, I guess. Like I said,

we don't really discuss it much.

Why didn't I know about that?

Girl, you and

that mind of yours.

Are you sure you're not

going to school to be a lawyer?

I'm just curious, okay?

- I've been like that

all my life, okay?

- Yeah.

Just like I'm curious

about this.

There's an old lady that's been

coming around the house.

Old lady?

Yeah, there's

been this old lady

just showing up at my house.

Like a couple of days ago,

there was this old lady that

just showed up at my house

out of nowhere,

and I looked back

for one second

and she's gone.

Out of nowhere.

Must have spooked you, huh?

Yeah, it was weird.

And then I went up to

Lifton Tyler's place to

ask him if he knew.

Who's that?

He just moved in

a couple of weeks ago,

but anyways,

I went over there,

to ask him if

he had seen her,

and he said no.

Hmm.

So, how old is he?

Like late forties,

early fifties maybe.

Oh, he's around my age.

Is he single?

Oh, my God.

Aunt Jessie.

Okay, I'm just teasing.

Now listen, if that woman

comes around again,

don't worry about her,

'cause she's probably

just a homeless,

or a or something,

got mad at you got her spot.

You know, she'll probably

find some other place to

go lay down up under a bridge

or something like that.

A homeless person?

I dunno about that.

Yeah, we got

homeless people, honey.

We got homeless people

in Minneapolis just like

you do in D.C.

Yeah, but don't they usually

live closer to the inner cities

because of the shelters and

the food shelves and all that?

Michelle, your mind.

That's how it is in D.C.

Well, homeless will

pop up anywhere.

You'd be surprised

where they show up.

Just like, you know,

there's going to be homeless

in the White House.

In the White House?

Every four to eight years,

somebody's homeless.

Even my beloved Obama

gonna be homeless one day.

He can come stay with me.

So don't worry about it, okay?

If that lady turns up again,

listen, you just call me.

Because have you ever

heard that song...

Aunt Jessie's got a gun?

Yeah, well. I got one.

It's a big one too.

So don't you worry about her.

Okay, I won't.

- Hey.

- Hmm?

That guy.

Is he single? Is he straight?

Is he single first?

Okay, he's getting a divorce

and I'll let him know

that you're interested since

you ain't had none in a while.

All right, um,

can I call my mom?

Sure, you know, go ahead.

Oh, and if you talk to her

please don't tell her anything

about the creepy lady,

because you know

she worries and stuff.

All right, Aunt Jessie.

All right, thanks.

- I'll see you later.

- All right, baby.

I had none.

Girl, you are trippin' for real.

I get it in. That boy

at the grocery store

gives me free meat

and everything.

But ask somebody about your...

Open this piece of meat.

This looks good.

Mmm-hmm.

Pork, veggies.

Let's see here. New...

Microwave.

Damn, I'm a genius.

Dude, I was just

thinking about you.

I got the text

she sent about...

About her shoe alliance.

Allowance. I'm not gonna...

No, I'm not cool

signing for that.

She never had a shoe allowance.

Okay? We're just

hard working people.

This is her way to

kinda hang on, whatever.

Hmm.

No. No.

Everything's good.

I've moved in a new place,

you know, old creaky house.

Goes bumping at night,

but it's cool.

Whoa! 20 year old girl moved in.

Tits just poking your eyes out.

Yeah.

Trust me, I'm too old for her.

I can be her daddy's daddy.

Look...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

She said she saw...

Oh. That's my sandwich.

I made a sandwich.

I'm making vegetables.

No, no. Something caught my eye.

Let me call you right back.

Yeah, yeah. No shoe allowance.

Good morning,

my sisters and brothers.

Good morning, pastor.

My flock,

the children of

the Almighty living God.

Yes!

We are all blessed

to be gathered here

on this glorious day.

To be yet and still

in the land of the living.

Yes.

Enjoying the company

of our loved ones.

But this much I know,

that if I don't wake

with you tomorrow,

I will still be all right.

Amen!

Because to be absent

from this body,

is to be present with the Lord.

Look at old man Wilson

sitting over there.

He better back up
