Private Gaia 5: The Temptations of Clarisse Page #15

---

the John Doe in the morgue...

was identified as David Ruffin.

All I know is it was a tragic loss.

Oh!

Hello.

Mrs. Franklin?

I know I must look like

a troublesome gangster,

But I was just wonderin' if you'd be so

kind as to let your son sing in my group.

We're good.

We really are.

Melvin, you come on out

from behind that tree...

and-and zip up that jacket.

You sure I won't

get whooped, mama?

Oh, child.

Mama, that's a lot of food

you got here, even for you.

You got enough to feed an army.

I don't know what came over me.

I was out there

in the kitchen cookin'...

And I was listenin' to

some of your early records.

And I started hearin'

Eddie and Paul and David,

All of 'em,

laughin' and carryin' on.

And my hands just took over,

And I started cookin' everything

that I remember everybody loved-

Yes, I did.

It's a lot of food, but...

It's all right.

Oh, baby, what--

what was it that got Eddie?

It was lung cancer, mama.

That's right.

That boy sure did love

my corn bread.

He was a sweet boy.

Y'all was sweet in your own way.

I see you still polish up

my Grammys there, mama.

Oh! Now, you know, that's right.

I keep 'em right here.

Yes, I do.

So I can see 'em every day.

I proud of y'all, baby.

Yes, I am.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

All right, Mall I want you to start

eatin ' somethin ' now, baby.

- Mama, I'm fine.

- I want you to eat today, baby.

- Mama--

- Put some stuff on your plate.

Stop fussin' with me,

all right? I'm fine.

All right.

How about somethin' to drink?

Okay- I got some lemonade in the

frigidaire. I'll be right back-

Look at this.

Look how young we were.

Do you have any regrets, Blue?

Ah, hell, no.

Now don't you go carryin' no regrets

around on them shoulders either, oat.

You know, about Paul...

or Eddie or David.

Or me.

'Cause above all the bad times,

you know,

We really had the best

of times, you know.

Yeah, we had some good times.

No, brother.

We had some crazy-ass times.

All right.

Here we go.

Here's the lemonade, Mel.

Thanks, morn.

Oh, lord, I left them

short ribs in the oven.

The short ribs?

No, no, mama.

No short ribs.

We can't eat no more.

We got to have the short ribs.

Mama, mama.

Let me get it, all right'? Show

y'all I'm still good for somethin'-

- You sure, baby?

- Yeah, I'm sure, mama.

In fact, I'm so sure, I'm gonna

take the long way around.

Watch me work.

I told you he's doing fine.

Lord have mercy.

Otis.

I wanna thank you.

For what?

For bein' what these boys

needed most.

And what was that?

Levelheaded.

You was the one that kept it

all together.

Yes, you were.

I wanna thank you.

Thank you.

You know, you were

always too kind.

But what we needed most

was a bass singer.

And you supplied that,

so thank you.

Mmm. Look at all this food.

Mmm-mmml

Blue, come on and hurry up and get in

here, boy, before this food gets cold.

I'm hungry.

Mmml

Melvin?

Blue?

Oh, Blue.
