you all out for a surprise.
- You mean after dinner.
- No, I mean now.
- Honey!
- It'll be a lot of fun, honey.
I know Sara's hungry, and I just made
her favorite, chicken tetrazzini.
- Ew!
- Mother!
I stopped eating chicken tetrazzini
when I was nine years old.
Besides, I had my heart set
on eating at The Elite.
- She made me promise at the airport.
- Honey, I've been cooking all day long.
I promise, I will eat cold
chicken tetrazzini all week.
This is the...

It's... 41 lots.
out here till Christmas, but,
they put up these, uh...
these street markers,
and I was just sure that somehow
you were gonna find out. Look.
- It sure is.
And, honey, look.
Over there, that's Mary Lane.
And it runs into Catherine Court,
so you have two streets named after you.
- Really? Two streets?
- Yes, indeed.
And way back there,
you can't see it, but...
that's Miriam Street.
So now all the women in my life
have somethin' named after 'em.
And years and years
from now,
you can look back and know that
people lived their lives on your street,
and whenever they said
where they lived,
they used your names.
Merry Christmas.

- What's wrong with it? - I mean,
who do they think they're kidding?
Nobody who really believes
You don't still believe
in Santa Claus, do you?
- No.
- Good.
he would have surely swooped down
and replaced that old thing.
Well, I wouldn't hold my breath
waiting for that to happen.
I know.
I'm back in Montgomery again.
Harness the mule.
It's time to go down to the
well and draw some water.
- Miriam.
- Shh. I'm right here.
Shh.
Honey, you're gonna have to
tell me which pile to put these in.
Relax, honey.
It'll be fine.
- I like the layout.
- Well, let's see. Mary Catherine.
Honey. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, honey.
Now, wave.
Wave to the camera.
Good.
- Okay. Sara?
- Come on.
Merry Christmas, honey.
Sweetness?
Mary Catherine.
Whoo!
- Hold on. Hold on.
- Look at the presents.
Come on, Mary Catherine.
Merry Christmas, Odessa.
Miriam, the Eighth Army
has arrived.
Good morning, Odessa.
The turkey and the ham are in the fridge.
They're thawed, and the turkey is
ready to be stuffed and cooked.
Now, the casseroles
still need to be cooked.
375, but not until 1:00.
We can't have cold casserole.
the deviled eggs though.
And when Claudia gets here,
one of you will have to vacuum.
Now, don't forget to
put out the milk punch.
Last year, we were
halfway through the day,
put out the milk punch.
Oh, I know I must be
forgettin' somethin'.
Oh!
Merry Christmas, Odessa.
- Merry Christmas, Mrs. Thompson. - Mother!
Do I have to wear this stupid dress?
Sara, I ordered these dresses specially
for all of us. Now, they're cute.
Mother!
Dessie, look what I got.
Isn't she pretty?
She's got three whole outfits,
with shoes and socks and everything!
- Look at her bonnet and her dress
- and the ribbons and the shoes!
- Oh, she's beautiful!
Oh!
Wait until you see
what else I got.
He come runnin' down the stairs,
be so excited,
and hit his grand keister.
Land on the road.
Does he still do that?
Now let's see if Tunker wants
some of these limas.
Hey, did you see that thing
in the paper this morning?
- I think Grover Hall has lost his mind.
- What are you talking about? What thing?
Didn't you read the paper
this morning, Norman?
He's talking about the ad that Grover
let the coloreds put in the paper,
demanding that we
give in to them.
Well, it's stupid.
It's about one of the stupidest things
that ever happened to this city,
because who really cares
about the buses?
Ah, you don't understand.
This is just a test.
In the paper this morning, they said
they want all the bus drivers' jobs.
- Wouldn't that be great.
- No. It seems to me...
that the way to handle this
thing is to play it down.
Supreme court's just itching
Let 'em sit where they want.
It just won't work that way.
I, for one, won't stand for the n*ggers
in Montgomery running around
yappin' about how they won.
And don't you think it's
gonna have consequences.
Norman, don't you understand?
If they get by with this bus thing now,
in a few years you won't even be
able to have this Christmas dinner...
'cause you'll have to have the
maids sittin' right beside you.
It's Communism is what it is. Just a
bunch of Communists. All of 'em.
None of 'em are from
Montgomery either.
He hasn't even lived here a year.
These n*ggers just want too much,
and they're not willing to work for it.
- Rolls, Mrs. Thompson?
- No, thank you.
Well, that's the way I feel.
I don't care who hears me.
- Thank you, Odessa.
- Thanks, Dessie.
Thank you.
Claudia. Claudia, Odessa.
That was a magnificent meal. It was.
- Here's a little something for you.
Merry Christmas. - Thank you.
Merry Christmas, Odessa.
We, uh...
We were just talkin'
about the bus boycott.
- Claudia, I know, I know you get a
ride with your husband. - Yes, sir.
But, Odessa, you're here
five days a week.
How do you get to work?
- Today I walked.
- I mean, on a normal day.
Well, I can't take the bus,
Mr. Thompson, so I... I just...
will find me a ride
where I can.
But if it were safe
to ride the bus...
than sit in the back?
Yes, sir, I would
have to say I would.
That's a long walk.
Yes, sir.
Mighty long.
That was...
It was a delicious meal.
- It really was. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas, Mr. Thompson.
Well?
Well...
I see your point...
- but I can't blame her because I don't
think she's a problem. - The hell she's not.
Why don't you get a new maid,
get a white maid?
- Mother, she's been with us for
nine years. - She's a problem.
She's not uppity like some.
Not to your face.
But slowly, they all start
asking for more, doing less.
Norm?
You got a good family,
good community here.
When was the last time you
locked your door at night?
Never.
If you give in...
what do you think is gonna
happen to this city?
What do you think is gonna
happen to your family?
No, you gotta hold the line.
We all do.
And if she'd rather walk...
bleed out the soles of her feet
till she begs to ride that bus.
Ooh, Mr. Thompson had a look in his eyes
when he asked you 'bout gettin' to work.
Girl, I can't believe what you said. It's
