Matthew 18 Page #4
Books are always
Okay, perfect.
Now we've got to
get you into Biology.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
'cause she's probably
just a homeless,
or a or something,
got mad at you got her spot.
You know, she'll probably
go lay down up under a bridge
or something like that.
A homeless person?
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.
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
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
