I'm moving the bus.

- Calm down.
- You ain't suing nobody.
- You're not going anywhere!
- Your donuts can wait!
- Don't you worry about my donuts.
I'ma drive off.
Get out of the door.
- She can't be late for work.

Get out of the door.
Don't you be cussing at me.
Tell her to come on.
I'ma lose my job!
- She's coming!
- Tell her come on.
Oh! Thanks, Henry.
You're the best.
You have something to say?
Mm-hmm.
That's what I thought.
Oh. Oh, God.
Sorry. The kids were

I was not gonna
Good looking out. You know
I can't afford to get docked.
- What's all that?
- Bills.

Don't ask. Oh, speaking of...
can you loan me $100?
I've got to give
Miss Mildred something.
She won't keep Lena
for me next week.
Come on. I know.
Okay, let me look at my bills
and I'll let you know.
- Thank you.
- I may be able to give you a joint loan.
- What is a joint loan?
- A loan from my joint money.
Girl. You know what?
You insane.
You know you ain't supposed
to be smoking that stuff
- with your condition.
- Whatever.
- What's that?
- It says my daddy died.
No. Your daddy died?
It says the funeral
is on Saturday.
Ay, Brenda, I'm sorry.
- I never met the man.
- Ah.
And what is this here?
Three bus tickets to Georgia.
- Are you going?
- I don't know these people.
They know you. How else would they
know where to send the tickets?
Yeah, but there's four of us, huh?
But that's a good question.
And read this...
there is a will.
Oh my God, what if
he was superrich
and left you millions
and millions of dollars?
Right. I doubt that.
You know, since she used
to do anything for money,
if he was, believe me,
she'd have still been with him.
You never know, mami.
- You never know.
- Girl.
I ain't going to no Georgia.
What the hell?
What's going on?
Excuse us.
Excuse us.
- Coming through.
- Excuse me.
Excuse me, ma'am.
What's going on, girl?
- Look.
- What happened?
They shut the place down, Cheryl.
They said they moved
the plant to Mexico.
- Hurry!
- And they didn't tell us!
- Move move!
- Go go! Come on!
Wait! We were supposed
to get paid today!
- I've got to pay my light bill today.
- Who has a match?!
I'm going to burn this place down!
Who has a match?!
Don't give this fool
no match. She bipolar.
No, seriously. She gotta take
medication just to stay right.
I know one of you have a match!
You smoke, Georgia!
Give me a match.
Give it to me.
Cheryl, put that out.
Come on, I'm trying
to chill out.
You know with your
chemical imbalance
you're not supposed
to do drugs.
- Did you take your medicine?
- I was trying to,
but then you started talking
about "put that out."
All right. I'm just
looking out for you.
I'm fine. I just can't believe they
would do something like that.
- Hello, ladies.
- Oh, hi, Miss Mildred.
- How you doing?
- Hi, Mildred.
Miss Mildred to you.
- Girl, you got my money?
- We lost our job today, Miss Mildred.
Now I'm running a daycare,
not a welfare.
You're running an illegal daycare,
so relax.
Little girl, you don't know nothing
about my business.
This is the last day.
I'm not keeping your daughter
another minute.
I'll come get her.
She's taking a nap now.
That's the trouble
with you young mothers...
You just said
come get her.
And I meant it...
after she wakes up and eats.
- Okay.
- The child is sleeping.
Thank you,
Miss Mildred!
- She's crazy.
- Naw, she's all right.
Shoot. I don't know what
I'm gonna do now though.
- She don't play with her money.
- Yeah, me neither.
If I had known they were going
to close down the plant,
I would have beat
my supervisors up yesterday.
Well, what you gonna do?
Shoot, I'm barely
getting by as it was.
What you have to do is
go and file child support
on that Michael.
- Hm-mmm.
- You know that Jenny got
$8,000 in back child support.
They'll get it for you
and they'll kick his ass.
8,000? Shoot.
No, he'd kill me.
Mamacita,
you go talk to him.
Let me know if you need me
and my nine to pay him a little visit.
All right.
# Inconsistent, flying blind
most of the time #
# Drama queen... #
# Preening and untangling #
# Captured by her dreams... #
- Good morning, Mama.
- Hey, sweetheart.
# Open up your heart... #
Are you crying, Mama?
No no, I'm fine.
We're gonna be
all right, Ma.
We've been here before,
and don't we always make it?
- Yeah, we do.
- Yeah.
Let me cook this for you.
Relax.
Uh-oh.
Here you go, Mama.
It's one of them
old songs. Come on.
- Dance with me.
- Michael. Michael.
- No, baby.
- It's your song. You'll feel better.
- Come on, dance with me.
- Michael.
Come on.
Do I have to listen to this?
Yes, and you're
gonna like it.
# You make me happy... #
All we got to eat
is oatmeal?
Yes, and you're gonna
like that too.
Baby, this is for you.
You eat that, all right?
Mama, huh-uh.
I got honeys at school
that'll give me breakfast.
Michael, I want you to eat this.
Come on now. What would
I do without you, hmm?
Hey hey, man, come on.
- Please, don't do that.
- I'm sorry.
Come on, have a heart...
for my baby.
- Lady, I'm doing what they tell me.
