Can you believe we're graduating?
Yes, I can, Man.
That was a lot of hard work.
Well, you aced it.
And so did you.
I did okay, but you were the Valedictorian.
Hey, that's right.
Ah!
Let's get to your Great Grandma's House.
All right, let's go.
Hey, look, what is the rush, Man?
Look, we
Dinner's not till seven.
We will get there.
It will be great.
I don't know what the rush is,
but I know what the delay is.
You don't wanna tell them.
No, I don't.
I don't wanna pressure you
into this, but it's 2021.
We graduate in two days.
They should know.
I know, Dude, I know.
It's just that like
Look, my family is different, okay?
Look at my family.
My father is West Indian,
my mother is from Ireland,
and I grew up in the Netherlands,
until my dad passed.
And because my mom had
passed years earlier,
I moved to Ireland to live with
my Great Aunt Agnes
until I came here to go to
a historically Black college.
Now who's the one with the family
with the different opinions?
Yeah.
It's Davi for the win.
You win.
You win on that.
You're right.
Thank you.
I do look forward to meeting
them someday.
Well, yeah.
Well, let's not rush that.
Mmm.
So
So I can confront my family, but you
can't confront your Great Aunt Agnes?
Is that what I got?
No, that's a completely different
story because I feel like your mom
is really open minded, so
she will be okay with this.
I know it.
Ah.
Okay, yeah, but my dad will
not be.
Well, to hell with your dad.
Davi, why do you hate my
dad so much?
You really have to ask?
After all he did to you and your mom?
See, you know, that's why I'm
not telling you nothin' else.
You don't forget nothing.
Look
He will be there tonight.
So please, whatever you do,
do not get into it with him.
Okay?
Good?
It's hot out here today.
I know, Cora.
I was hotter.
You was hotter?
You ain't gonna believe what happened.
Brown triedto go all rotisserie

My famous chicken, and boom,

Are you all right?
Oh, yes.
Thank you so much for asking, Baby.

Ah, Cora, yes, I'm
Well, yes and no.
I'm not fine.
It's like I went to Hell.
You went...
Yes, I went to Hell, and Madea was there.

Oh, Lord.
Oh, Joe.
Madea, now look, I went to the
store to get everything we needed.
You could just hold this bag.
I had to drive way across town.
I know you had to drive way
across town, Cora.
Every time I go to the store,
something done burned down
or boarded up 'cause people
protesting all over.
I don't understand why they didn't
burn up the whole neighborhood.
We don't need that store.
We need to burn everything
in the neighborhood down.
Burn it all down.
Joe, what kind of sense it
maketo burn up
your own damn neighborhood
'cause you upset about something?
What the hell kind of sense it make
what these police doin' to Black people?
Burn it all down.
Oh, I'mma

Well, I'm just glad they didn't burn down
the church 'cause it's in the same block.
You know that's right, Cora.
Thank God that church did not burn down.
Hallelujer.
Yes.
Hallelujer.
Yes!
Hallelujer, thank God that
church didn't burn down.
Madea, I'm so glad you standin'
up for the church.
That's beautiful.
I don't care nothin' about that church.
What?
It's just right next door to my
favorite liquor store.
So, you more concerned about
the liquor store than the church?
That's wrong, Madea.
Nothing's wrong.
Here's what you don't understand.
Jesus, the Lord God Almighty
Uh huh.
He can turn water into wine.
He did.
Yes, he did.
I got to go to the liquor store
to get mine.
Won't somebody praise Him?
What?
You need to stop that foolishness.
Come on, Madea, we gotta

Oh, B?

Would you stop that?

Go on, get the stuff out the car.
We can get started on this.
All right.
Hurry up and get the stuff out...

Is this a homicide?
No...
Y'all need to go home.
Uncle Joe, watch your mouth.
Did y'all finish everything outside?
I did the best I could.
I couldn't look at Brown's ass
no more, so I sent him home.
Brown went home to wash the
soot off his ass.
Uh, I think it was soot.
No, Joe, I don't know if that was soot.
I've known Brown a long time.
They call him Brown for a reason.
Oh my Lord.
Oh Lord.
Hey, Uncle Joe.
I know damn well you ain't

My Baby can wear her uniform
if she wants.
She's an officer, and I'm so
proud of you, Baby.
Thank you, Mama.
You're welcome, Sweetheart.
You the reason everybody

the damn street and backing
up and turning around.
That's 'cause of you.
That's what they do here.
They'll back up in a minute
when they see a police car.
Tear up damn light poles,
everything to get away.
You better ask me.
I know.
You need to take that uniform off
and move that police car before you
have everybody in this neighborhood
trying to kill somebody 'cause
you in the neighborhood.
Get outta here.
I am not moving, Uncle Joe.
If my weed man can't get here to give
me my weed, we gonna have a problem.
Freddy coming over?
Tell him to get me about four...
I'll tell you later.
So you need to move that police car.
You know, I
I can actually arrest you.
And I'll protest all over your ass.
I'll protest all over your ass.
What for?
Violation of my civil right on
January 6th on the US Capitol.

Tell your weed man to come see me.
What you gonna do?
Bring him on over.
Don't be threatening my weed man.

A big Black linebacker for the Bears.
I'm about to play stab a
Black bastard for the Saints.
Say one more damn thing.
No, Baby.
I worked at a club called The Field.
It was for strippers.
Right.
Sure was.
Back in the day.
I didn't make it rain, but I sure
made it drizzle.
I could get that change.
They didn't throw no dollars.
They'd throw the rolled up nickels and
hit me with them quarters and stuff.
It hurt, but I got that money.
I paid my bills.
Yes.
Madea, now you want to come to

Defund this shit.
Get rid of the police.
The same way that we're
saying "Defund the police,"
there are criminals saying the
same thing.
That's why crime has gotten so much worse.
Think about it.
I don't know the answers, but somebody
needs to have some conversation
'cause you'll never figure
nothing out
as long as everybody screamin'
and yellin' at each other.
My tax dollar, my tax dollar...
Joe, let me ask you something, Babe.
When's the last time you paid a tax?
You don't pay no damn tax.

You want me to feel sorry for y'all?
No, I ain't finna feel sorry for y'all.
Well, now you're doing the very
thing that you don't want us to do.
You don't want them to judge
all Black people as criminals,
but you wanna judge all police
as killers?
Madea, say something to stop this.

It's been a day, you know?
There's a lot going on and
Now Davi's family is talking about
he needs to go back to Europe and
And that makes you sad?
Well, I mean
I know how much Davi loves Tim.
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
I'm glad they came out.
Did they, though?
Well, where were you?
Oh, I was there.
I was there.
Uh huh.
But did Davi come out?
Or just My Baby.
I'm just saying.
Yes, you
Actually, you are right.
Mm hmm.
Maybe he didn't want his
family to know that he was
You know, he wasn't expecting them.
Maybe.
I just want them to be happy.
So, how about, uh, Sylvia and Richard?
Mm.
Mm-mmm.
Mm-mmm.
I don't wanna think about him or her.
I just want to focus on My
Baby's graduation.
That's it.
Come in.
Hey there.
Hey.
I was getting ready to go to bed,
but I wanted to come check on you.
I know this been a rough day.
Yeah.
I'm good.
You good?
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I'm good.
You don't wanna talk about it?
Mm-mmm.
Okay, well, my house, my rules,
so we're gonna talk about it.
Oh, okay.
That man ran off with your best friend.
I don't understand.
That's horrible.
Just terrible that they would
just leave you like that.
Well, they didn't steal or run
off or any of that.
I just
I mean
I just wish they'd told me about it.
That's it.
Let me tell you two things.
I want you to remember this here.
You always know.
God always send you a sign.
People look for a oak tree,
and God dropped a little acorn.
You got to pay attention to the acorn.
That's number one, okay?
And number two, if you don't remember
nothing else I tell you, remember this.
I learned this a long time ago.
Never let your girlfriend and
your man hang out too often.
So you think this all happened
before my divorce?
Sometimes I think that the mall
is open, but ain't nobody shoppin'.
I sti
I don't
O
O
Okay.
What?
Okay.
Nothing.
You like your mama.
Think about it, Baby.
You and this girl talk every day while
she helping with your divorce.
When did they find time to
start dating, fall in love,
and do all this if it wasn't
before then?
That's what I'm saying.
See, I knew it.
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
And Baby, it hurts.
My girlfriend stole my man.
I mean, we were so close.
I mean, she just
Ooh, she walked out with him.
It was bad.
Real bad.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I think she wants to talk about it.
Uh, Madea?
Hmm?
Would you like to talk about...
I said I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
It was December 1st, 1955.
Bye, Laverne and Shirley.
Archie?
I'll never forget it.
There I was in Montgomery, Alabama.
Archie, where are you?
And my girlfriend Rose, we
was roommates.
Archie?
And she left me.
Archie, where are you?
Archie?
He had moved out.
Took everything out of the damn house.
Why are all your clothes
gone from the dresser?
Oh no.
Whatever am I going to do?
Archie?
I was like, what is going on?
Archie?
Are you in the kitchen?
Archie, where are you?
I started looking all around.
I can't find nothing.
I'm looking for my man.
He was gone.
Oh no.
Oh God.
I knew he was messing around
with somebody.
I didn't know who it was.
So terribly sad.
He wasn't gonna just walk
out on me.
He did it.
Then Bill Clinton did it later on.
I wasn't finna have that.
Operator, give me 1-2 Montgomery 0-6.
Hi, is this the NAACP office?
Is my girlfriend Rose there?
I'm so terribly upset.
I can't find Archie anywhere,
and I'm in this terrible dilemma.
Wait.
Oh no.
I think her things are gone too.
Do you think they left together?
So then I went to her job.
She work over there at the N
CP.
Rose?
Where's Rose?
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Rose.
Everybody gonna act like they
don't know?
Somebody better tell me where
the hell Rose is at up in here.
Where's Rose?
Where is Rose?
Where she at?
Don't nobody know where Rose at?
Y'all don't know where Rose at?
Don't nobody know where Rose at?
Where's Rose at?
Where's Rose at?
Where's she at up in this
Where Rose?
Where Rose?
Where Rose?
Where Rose?
Where Rose?
Is Rose in here?
I don't see Rose.
Where's Rose?
Somebody gon' tell me where Rose is at?
Where is Rose at?
I'd been driving all around
looking for her everywhere.
Then I look up on the bus,
and there she is.
What the hell?
I know she ain't on this bus.
I saw her on the bus, and I pulled
in front of that bus in my car.
And the bus driver say
"Ma'am, you can't do that.
This Montgomery, Alabama."
And I was like, "I don't care."
I know damn well you hear me
on this bus, Rosa.
I got out, and I stabbed them
tires with everything I had in me.
Rosa, I don't
Get off the bus, Rosa.
Rosa, don't sit there like
Bus driver get back.
You better open this door.
Get off the bus, Rosa.
I'mma get you, Rosa.
You see me, Rosa.
Get Rosa off the damn bus.
Rosa.
That's all right.
I'm picketing.
I'm taking a picture.
I'm takinga picture of all this sh
I see you, Rosa.
This is Madea.
It is 19
That's Rosa, Rosa Parks.
Y'all know her.
I'm gonna post this in
It's 1955, but I'mma post it as
soon as I know what year the
I'mma post it one day, but
I'm taking it on my iPhone.
I mean my aPhone 'cause they
didn't have iPhone back then,
'cause it was A before I, but
That's Rosa Parks, and that's
Archie back there.
That's my man, Archie.
She stole him from me, and I started
the Civil Rights Movement 'cause of this.
I was like, "Rosa, get off the bus.
I just wanna talk to you."
So she stayed on the bus.
The man got mad.
White people got mad.
Next thing I know, Martin
Luther King was there.
Uh, Jesse Jackson, MillieJackson.
Uh, J J
Little Janet was there.
La Toya, Reba.
All them Jacksons were there marching
and protesting down there in 1955.
What Rosa are you talkin' about?
Rosa Parks.
The Rosa Parks?
No, no, her name is Rose.
Ain't no the Rose.
She became Rosa Parks after all of that.
You know why Rosa didn't get off that bus?
People think she was trying to
help Black people.
That is not what happened.
Only reason Rosa didn't get off, she
didn't wanna get her ass whooped,
'cause she stole my man.
Okay.
And now look.
Look, Rosa Parks is a whole
entire Civil Rights hero.
She's a shero.
And you know why she's a shero?
Because I would not let her
get off that bus.
Next thing you know, y'all
can sit anywhere you want.
Thank me.
You're welcome.
Praise Him.
Oh.
Thank you.
Mm hmm.
Madea praise.
That's right.
Thank you.
I'm just saying that all that
bad that was, me
Me mad at her and wantin' to
fight her, right?
But look at the good that
came out of it.
Look at what has happened for
Negroes because of what I did.
You understand?
Cause and effect.
I did that.
Right.
So, when we get to the graduation, I want
you to have some cause and effect.
Grab Sylvia and punch her dead in
her damn face at that graduation.
Come on, come on.
Where's your thug?
Get your inner thug out.
If did that to Rose, then you do it too.
That was back in the day, Baby.
I was young and sexy.
I was 20 years old.
Okay.
So if you were about 20 back then,
if I do the math and I carry the
one, you'd be about 95 by now.
Black don't crack.
Unless you're using it.
I took this back in 19 and 55.
There it is.
I took that picture.
Okay.
Ha ha.
Proof is in the pudding.
Yes, Ma'am.
Oh.
Hmm.
Get them dishes clean.
Well, hello.
Hello, Cora.

Ok
Okay.
I'mma give it to you, but you

Aunt Agnes, I'm s
Sorry.

You talkin' to me?
Richard, you judging me?
Hell, yeah.
I mean, you're seeing this child.
What?
You couldn't find a real man?
Richard.
Apparently, she couldn't get one
when she ran up on your ass.
Damn, this is funny.
You standing there with my best
friend, but you think this is funny.
You wanna know what I find funny?
Is how Sylvia helped me with
my divorce,
but you the one who got away
with everything.
There it is.
Tell him, Laura.
Tell it, Laura.
I got your back, Baby.
Tell it.
You wanna know what else
I find funny?
How I'm gonna go down to her law
firm and tell them what she did.
And that this is ineffective council.
And then I'mma haul your ass
down to the
court and get everything I got
coming to me.
Then we gonna see who get
the last "Ha ha."
Yeah, I'm seein' him.
And let me tell you, this 26 year old is
more of a man than you've ever been.
And probably more of a man
than you ever can be.
This man sees me.
This man hear me.
And this man reminded me that I'm
alive and I can stand on my own
before you tried to gut me.
So maybe you can take some
lessons from this little 26 year old
with your little triflin' ass.
She went off on him, didn't she?
Yeah.
She went off.
That's terrible.
I guess she told you, Stuck ass.
That boy
That boy is...
Is gonna be her husband.
Oh.
Oh.
What?
Oh.
Wait a minute now.
What happened?
Baby.
Ooh.
Oh crap!

Don't do thatromantic shit.
Player, don't do the romantic
He on one knee.
Davi, please.
Say you'll marry me.
Say yes.
Say yes.
And go!
What the feck is going on?
I think it's beautiful.
She's old enough to be his mother.
Nobody ever won a race in a
second hand car.
But he loves her.
What would you know about love?
You couldn't get yourself a feckin' man.
Arse.
Say yes.
I gotta go.
No.
That's embarrassing as hell.
Baby, I think that's a no.
I see.
I'm sorry.
She said, "I'm sorry."
She said, "I'm"
You could've said something.
She said, "I'm sorry."
Yes.
That's like the Runaway Bride.
What the hell was that?
Poor baby.
Mabel, leave him alone.
She didn't have to do you like
that, Man.
I'm sorry.
You down there on one knee.
I'm sorry.
That's embarrassing.
She could've said something.
Somethin' to him.
Damn, I'm sorry.
She didn't want to.
I'm sorry.
That's none of your business.
Eat.
What the hell y'all watching them for?
Eat something.
Hell.
All up in my family business.
Well, can you pass me a beer?
Laura?
I don't wanna talk about it.
Baby...
Look, I love him.
Why didn't you say anything?
There's just too much going on.
What?
You gotta figure out what you wanna do.
I didn't mean to hurt him.
I didn't mean to hurt him.
Well, then the only person
who can fix this is you.
So fix it.
Come on, Baby.
I didn't ask y'all to bring y'all
children here.
This is a party for adults, half adults.
Not all adults.
Flies.
I should have changed me drawers.
Ooh, Agnes.
You funny child.
I need more "Chocolate."
Do you?
This stuff isn't kickin' in.
I'm thinkin' about giving you one,
but I want you to understand
this, and hear me good.
This chocolate, you gotta be
careful with it.
I remember one time I had too much,
and it snuck up on me all at once.
Next thing I know, I found myself in
Mexico chained to a mule named Arriba.
Oh!
Yes, Honey.
I was selling tequila from
between my breasts there.
Didn't know what happened.
So I'mma give you one,
but you gotta be responsible
for what happens to yourself.
Just the one.
Okay.
I don't know if I should.
Maybe I shouldn't.
You know you should.
What is he thinkin' of,Davi?
He has to come back to Ireland.
His Granddad needs him.
What?
That was the deal back then.
When Davi's parents passed away.
Lord rest them.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, rest them.
I'll never forget his last words.
Mmm.
What was it?
"Oh feck, it's a bus!"
Yeah.
But
Well, it'll kill him.
When they passed, the deal was that
Davi's Granddad would run the farm
until such time as Davi was old enough and
the time was right for him to take over.
And the time is right now.
Oh.
And he knows it.
Oh, that's sweet.
That's so sweet.
But what if his heart wants
something else now, Baby?
Feck his heart.
Sometimes I'm sorry I had six children.
Listen, Baby, these children have
their own lives to live, Honey.
You got to let them live their life.
I know, but they owe us.
You can't tell me that your Cora
doesn't owe you something.
Hell, yeah, she owe me.
All them years I had to spend on
that pole trying to take care of her.
Do you know how many splinters I had
to get removed from my inner thighs?
Splinters?
They didn't have brass poles back then.
Hos got it so easy right now.
Back in the day, all we had
was telephone poles.
And they didn't shellac em'.
You had to get on and ride that thing
and spin around and get that money.
And I did.
I paid for it.
Today my inside look like hell.
But I paid.
I
I took
Listen.
I had to do what I had to do, but I did it.
He has to come back and run
that farm.
Let me ask you something.
What if that ain't his dream?
Feck his dream.
He has to run that farm.
How you gonna feel if that boy's
sittin' there runnin' the farm,
milking all them bulls, and
he don't wanna be there.
Cows.
Say what?
Cows.
Milking cows.
Not milking a bull.
Milking cows.
Oh.
Well, whatever the hell it is.
What will it matter if he did what
you and his granddaddy want
if his happiness is over here
in America with that girl?
You know how hard it is to run
a farm?
How hard it is to get a bull to
mate with a cow?
I had to French kiss a bull once.
Hmm.
He wanted more, but I wasn't having it.
Well, not at that time.
And all the cow shit to be cleaned up.
We sacrificed for him to be here.
Listen to me.
Children gonna live their own lives
whether we want 'em to or not.
So either you can stand there
and be against 'em
or stand there with 'em while
they make their mistakes
or see if they gon' make a
mistake and help them.
You understand?
Madea, thank you for the chat.
What?
You're welcome.
But I'm determined.
Davi is coming back to Ireland
with me.
Ain't nothin' I can do.
I'mma give you a couple more candies,
and we gon' see who gonna
go somewhere with somebody.
Here, just take that bag, Baby.
Enjoy yourself.
We'll see wholeavin'.
Y'all come on in this house.
It's too hot out!
I gotta get this girdle off.
I don't know if I should.
Get these children outta my yard.
I don't know these children.
And if you ain't bring no plates,
don't take no damn plates!
I'm in love with her.
Yeah, when were y'all gonna
tell me that?
I knew we had our graduation, and
you wanted to come out to them.
So I wanted to give you all the
space you needed.
Mmm.
But it doesn't matter now.
She don't wanna marry me.
Aw.
It's just low down, Man.
You know her, and you know me.
You know we're good for each other.
How can you say that, Davi?
Huh?
You've been lying to me this
whole time.
I never lied to you.
I don't know who you are.
So, all the weekends you were
gone, you were with her?
Yes.
O
Okay.
So that sounds like you lied to me.
You didn't tell me.
She didn't want me to, but
I wanted to.
Oh, so you blame it all on her?
No, I'm just telling you.
You know what, Man?
I don't have anything else to say to you.
You can go.
Tim.
Why are you still standing
here, Dude?
I...
Get up out of here.
I'm your friend, and I love you.
You love my whole family.
You go ahead and be mad.
You deserve that.
I just
I wanted to be there for you.
I didn't want to let you down.
Mmm.
I'm sorry.
I'm your friend, and I wouldn't
do anything to hurt you.
Really?
I love your mother.
I'm sorry, but I do.
I'm outta here.
How you even say you
wouldn't ever hurt me
and you love my mother in
the same sentence?
What's wrong with you, Man?
Every time I try to get a little high
Yeah, hold on.
I'm just doin' some sewing.
I can't stand it.
Have no damn company at my house.
Ok
Come on in.
Hey!
Hi.
I'm so glad you came to see me.
I was just sittin' here doin' nothin', waitin'
for somebody to come talk to me.
Come on in.
Sit down.
Hmm.
How you doin', Baby?
I'm good.
Good, good.
Well, looks like I messed up my son's
graduation celebration once again.
You sure the hell did.
You messed that shit up.
No.
I'm playin', Girl.
You ain't messed nothing up.
All the sacrifices you made
for that boy, hell.
He'll be all right.
He'll be fine.
You sure about that?
Yes, Honey.
You don't remember the
sacrifices you made?
That's what a good parent do.
From the time your baby born,
you sacrificin'.
From kindergarten, you sacrificin'.
First grade all the way up through
college, you been sacrificing.
So after givin' them children
all that time,
it's time you take care of yourself
and have you some damn fun.
He gonna be fine.
You talkin' about Davi?
Yes, I am.
I knew something was going
on with you,
the way you coming up in here,
bouncing, talking about, "Hi."
I know you was making you
happy or something.
Well, it's not about him.
You know?
I mean, he's fun.
But I'm just now starting to learn how
to love and be happy with myself.
Then you on the right track.
That's exactly how it start.
When you learn how to be
happy with your damn self.
Yeah, I just
I can't marry him.
I mean, he's way too young.
Honey, I been talking to that boy,
and he seem very mature.
You understand?
Like he done been through some things.
Sometimes trauma will grow you up
faster than a 50 year old.
How'd you meet him?
Oh, well
Look at you smiling.
Oh, there's a good story right there.
Oh, it's really simple.
Easy.
I don't know where I
I went to visit Tim in college,
and my son always late.
So he was late, so I had to
wait in the dorm, right?
So obviously,Davi's there,
and we just started talking.
And I don't know, it was like
It was magical for some rea
Like, odd.
Didn't know it at the time, but
like, we just kept talking and...
Next thing,he was tapping that ass?
He tapping that ass?
Tapping that ass, speaking
that Iranian
Was he tapping?
It's just
I'm just clownin' you, Girl.
I can't have that conversation
with my grandmother.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I can teach you a few things.
But listen to me.
I should've known when I first
looked at him look at you.
That boy love you.
He does, I know.
But his great aunt Agnes said he's
supposed to go to Ireland and run a farm.
Like, a farm.
He didn't tell me that.
I didn't know you know that.
Yeah, well, I know now.
Agnes on that shit, just so you know.
The shit I don't want her to be
on is being mad at me.
Yeah.
Yeah, I get it.
Sounds like you need to have
a conversation.
Talk to him about going to Iran
and everything.
Ireland.
Uh huh.
That's what I said.
Ire-land.
Ire-land.
Yep.
You said it.
Yeah, but, you know, talk to
him about it.
Maybe you can go over there
with him.
What?
Baby, sometime you just gotta
take a chance on love.
Love is worth it.
You really think I should do that?
What's keeping you here?
Your child is graduating.
You sacrificed for him.
Hell.
And that damn raggedy car, raggedy
house of yours, that ain't worth keeping.
You ain't got no man.
Your job is piss poor.
Why not just go on over there with him?
Yeah, my job is pretty bad.
I don't know, but that farm
might be worse.
Last time a Black woman was on a
farm, it didn't turn out too well, so
But just think about it.
Especially in Iran.
Yeah, I have my freedom papers this time.
Mm hmm.
My question, though, was that
something you would do, Madea?
I mean, should I really do that?
What do you mean, Baby?
That's love.
Love is worth it.
Hell, yeah.
I wouldn't do it at this age,
but when I was your age,
I took some chances, and that's why
I live my life, now I ain't got no regrets.
I got out there, and I did the
damn thing.
Have fun. Just don't do nothin'
that's gonna ruin your life.
But at least take some
chances on love.
That's love, Baby.
That don't come around all the time.
Yeah, I hear you.
I'm just
Oh, I'm just scared.
I'm 12 years older than him, you know?
I don't think it's age you worried about.
I think it's the heartbreak you done had.
Let me tell youabout heartbreak.
It'll spit you out, make you not
wanna love nobody.
It'll make you not wanna trust
nobody ever.
That's what I tell women when
they get heart broke.
If you get your heart broke, please
have the courage to try it again.
If that person break your heart,
have the courage to try it again.
Next person break your heart,
have the courage to try it again.
I'm gonna tell you, you keep
getting your heart broke,
pretty soon you gonna run up
on a heart surgeon
who know how to fix all them
breaks you done been through.
That's why you can't just stop, Baby.
Love is worth fighting for.
Do you hear me?
Yeah.
So I get it.
Get your heart broke, don't
wanna trust nobody else.
Buildin' all them walls.
Let me tell you something about a wall.
It'll keep everything out.
Stop building walls and build
some fences
so you can look over and see if
that's who you wanna see or not.
Do you hear me?
You're so wise.
Thank you.
I know.
It's the weed.
I'mma tell you this now,
speaking of wisdom,
when you get married, make sure you
say "I do" to more than one person.
"I do" to one person ain't gonna work.
You gotta say "I do" to several people.
You understand?
No, I do not.
That's why so many people are
getting divorced these days.
They just say "I do" to one person.
Okay, I
I'mma take back what I said
about you being wise
'cause I feel like you're going
off the rails.
If you was high, you'd be with me.
But let me break it down for you.
When you marry somebody, ten years later,
that person gonna be somebody else.
Ten years after that, somebody else.
People evolve.
They change.
That's why so many people
renew their vows,
'cause the person they say "I do" to
ain't the same person they with now.
Do you hear what I'm telling you?
Take a chance on love.
You gon' be all right.
That boy too young to know, but
you old enough to understand.
You old enough to know what I'msayin'.
So, Baby, y'all take your time, you hear?
Now, if you don't mind, I was sewin'.
I was, uh, net
Net
I wasnet
Needle netting, and I'd like to
get back to it.
Would you mind just?
Yes.
Thank you.
I love you.
I love you too.
You've been here a long time.
It's been over a day.
Almost time to go.
All right.
I figured my time was up.
Yeah, but I love you.
I love you.
Talk to that boy, you hear me?
I will.
Okay.
Talk to him.
All right.
Enjoy your weed.
Eh
Oh
How you know?
You think I didn't smell that?
I got a prescription 'cause
it ain't legal in Georgia yet.
Don't be telling your sister.
Damn cop.
This park close at nine o'clock, Son.
Nine o'clock.
They trying to gentle-fy the
whole neighborhood.
Yeah.
Gentrified?
Yeah, that's when they try
to make everything gentle.
Like gentrified?
That's what I said, gentle.
They gon' make it gentle.
It used to be rough.
That's why I go out and shoot
in the air.
I don't want nobody to move
here to make it gentle.
I like it rough, like it used to be.
Got it.
They come in here and raise the
property taxes and everything.
Take over your damn house.
Put basketball courts in,
change the neighborhood.
Build pretty house all around.
I ain't selling shit.
Gentrification.
Whatever it is, I ain't selling.
I'mma hold on to what I paid for.
Got you.
Mm hmm.
Uh, Madea, is my mom still up?
Why?
I gotta talk to her.
No, your mama done had a rough day.
Go on home.
What about me?
What about you?
Don't go upsetting her.
I'm not. I just wanna talk to her.
You go home,
get ready for your graduation.
Learn your speech, you understand?
Don't worry about this.
Parents are not perfect.
Parents make all kind of mistakes.
Your mom, your dad.
Children think, "My mom
should've been better.
My dad should've been better."
They did the best they could.
Just growing up, raising children,
nobody tell them how to do nothing.
Sometime people just doin' the
best they can, you understand?
Yes, Ma'am.
You had no idea they was together?
No, I mean, like, he
He talks about her a lot, but I
I
I just never put it together.
He talks about your mama a lot?
Yeah.
And
And
I mean
You didn't think something'sgoin' on?
Let me understand.
Two children in college talkin'
about your mama,
a man, and you don't think
something's goin' on?
And, Baby, yougoin' to law school?
Listen to me.
Do me a favor.
Don't try no cases right now.
Don't do no criminal cases.
Get some slip and falls.
Something you can handle.
I'm just gonna go talk to her.
No.
I said it.
You ain't gonna talk to her.
You gon' go home and rest for tomorrow.
Make all of us proud with your
big ol' speech.
I
I'm gonna go stay at a friend's house.
I
I can't even look at Davi right now.
So come on, come on.
Go on home.
Come on, come on.
Leave that basketball.
I don't want people saying we
stole it from the gentri-people.
Gentri-people trying to steal everything.
Open the gate for a lady.
Yes, Ma'am.
Pull it this way.
This way?
I can't get out of there.
Pull it this way.
This ain't going through there.
Go on home now.
Okay.
Derick Reed.
Tory Edwards.
The graduation's taking a long time.
You like my dress?
Oh, Miss Madea, you look
very nice.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I try.
I got this fromAretha Franklin.
It's beautiful.
What?
She willed it to me.
Aretha knew fashion, Baby.
Wow.
She willed it after she died.
Yes, indeed.
How's your mama doin'?
She still has her knickers...
Her panties in a bunch.
Okay, panties, Baby.
Panties.
She'll be fine.
How you doin', Agnes?
I'm fine.
Don't look like you enjoying yourself,
twisted up in the mouth.
No, no, no.
It's not true.
The sooner this is over, the better.
We can all get on that plane.
Including Davi.
Mmm.
Mmm.
I think it got chilly over here in
the hot sun.
I'm sorry you didn't have a good time.
Oh, I did.
I did have a good time.
I just
I
I wasn't expecting this.
Wait a minute, that's My Baby.
This?
Incoming.
Davi O'Malley!
Yes!
Proud of him.
Well done, Davi.
Go, Davi!
Okay.
He know.
He isn't even looking at him.
I know.
I ruined his graduation too.
No, you didn't.
You ain't ruined nothing.
That boy be all right.
He better be glad.
All that money we done spent
putting him through sc
I spent $37.49 putting that boy
through school.
Timothy Marshall!
You did it!
You did it!
That's My Baby!
That's my baby boy!
Yes!
Go, Tim!
Y'all get the picture?
Smile.
He ain't smile?
Did he get the diploma?
Yes.
Great.
I'm getting ready to go and whoop her ass.
Madea, would you just stay seated?
Don't do that at the graduation.
Yes!
Don't do that.
That's right!
You already ruined two dinners.
Oh my God.
You got to act up everywhere you go.
You know what you ruined?
What?
My appetite with that ugly ass suit.
Please be quiet.
Will you stop?
He has to say his speech.
I'm tired of you talking to me
like a child.
I don't meant to ta...
I'mma take you to the cane.
I don't mean to talk to you like a kid,
Madea, but this is a big day for him!
The way she actin'.
Shut up.
Now, we are pleased to present the
Valedictorian of our graduating class,
Timothy Marshall.
Yeah!
Valedictorian!
That's my son!
That's my son!
That's my son!
He about to say his speech.
He about to say his speech.
That's mine.
"That's your son."
He done talking about that's his son.
Well, it ain't your son.
You ain't did a thing for him.
Talk about your son.
Hush!
Hush!
He ain't saying his speech?
He ripped it up.
What he gon' say now?
Maybe he got it memorized.
He got it memorized.
Maybe so.
I was gonna get up here and talk about life
and all of the great things that await us.
About jobs, about hope.
But these last two days, you guys,
I was lied to by my best friend.
Well, I shouldn't say lied to.
Deceived by him and my mother.
Oh.
Yep.
Ooh.
You see, I didn't know they were dating.
Oh my gosh.
Put all our business...
He putting all this in the street.
He don't have to say all that.
Are you recording it?
Yeah.
I spent all of last night mad.
Mad at them. Mad that I didn't know.
But then I
I
I realized that I, too, am
harboring a secret.
At
At
At least I thought it was a secret.
My whole family already knew.
Yeah, we knew.
We knew.
You see, I'm gay, and I was really
worried about what they would think.
I didn't care what I thought.
When I came out to them, they
showed me so much love, and it
It just made me realize how
fortunate I am to have them.
And so, as we start this bright
future of ours,
I just want to take the time to thank
my mother, who always loved me,
stood by me, worked, did whatever she
could to help put me through school.
And to my dad, thank you.
He ain't done nothing for you.
Madea.
What?
Agree.
Even though they were divorced
and he didn't have much,
he still tried to be there for me.
And to my best friend Davi, who never
once judged me but was always a friend.
Even though he was sneaking
around with my mother.
Damn.
Why does he keep saying that?
I mean
'Cause he was.
He was whoring around.
He talk too damn much.
What goes on in the house
stay in the house.
Amen!
I thought about what kind of
guy he is.
He's mature.
He's a good man.
And I thought to myself, how
lucky am I that the two people
I love the most in this world
found each other because of me.
Would I rather have known?
Yes.
But I'm okay with it.
And I wanna apologize to
them for how I acted.
A future isn't a future without
a past.
And I'm just so thankful that
I have a family.
For my great grandmother, Madea.
My Grandma, Cora, Mr. Brown,
Aunt Ellie, Aunt Bam.
And of course, Uncle Joe.
Baby, Joe ain't here.
He was too high to come.
And I just wanna let the world
know that
I love them, and I'm so
thankful to be born to them.
And as we start this future,
I start mine standing on the
shoulders of
regular, hardworking people
who didn't have much.
They are giants to me.
And I love them with my whole heart.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Tim, Tim, Tim!
Thank you, Jesus.
Yes.
Hallelujah!
That was all right.
That was beautiful.
That was beautiful.
Yes, it was.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
Come with me.
I thought I was the one with
the big secret.
Oh.
We didn't wanna hurt you, Baby.
Do you love him?
Yes, I do.
Do you love her?
Yes, I do.
You should've told me.
I
I know.
I'm sorry.
We're sorry.
I'm sorry.
Look, trust me.
We were gonna tell you.
Don't
Don't be sorry.
I
I know what it's like to have a secret, and
I feel so good now that my family knows.
And I
I don't want you to hide it.
I'm so proud of you, Baby.
I stay proud of you.
Come here.
I love you.
I love you.
I'm not calling you Dad.
I wouldn't want you to.
And
And if you hurt her
Hey.
I wouldn't do that.
But it doesn't matter now.
She won't marry me.
What?
Mom, you
You just said you loved him.
What's the problem?
He has to go back to Ireland.
His great aunt made that very
clear to me.
What?
Is that why you said no?
Well, I don't want us to be a
rift in your family.
Don't you...
Oh, Davi, Son, congratulations.
You did the family and the whole
country of Ireland proud.
Thank you.
Aunt Agnes, I need to speak with you.
There's nothing left to be said, Son.
I'm delighted to be here.
And I'm delighted you were here.
Well, there we go.
Mummy, will you let Davi
speak, please.
Thanks, Cathy.
I...
Go on, say what you want to say.
I knew I was...
Wait, hold on a second.
I forgot your card.
Here's your graduation present.
Open it.
What
What's this?
It's your ticket to Ireland.
Canceled.
What?
But...
But nothing.
Davi, you know how much
I want you to come home,
and you know how much
I respect family tradition.
But a wise woman told me, "Children
have to live their own lives.
They have to make their own decisions."
And she said something about
being a Black whore's
Anyway, that's irrelevant.
The thing is, your life is here, Son.
And I think your happiness is
here too.
And that's all I want for you.
Oh, that's good.
That's, like
That's so good.
So you don't mind if we get married?
I don't think that's a question
for Aunt Agnes.
I think that's a question for
the beautiful lady right here.
What you got to say?
Laura
Don't you get down on your
knee again.
She already said no.
Yeah, you done embarrassed
yourself once.
Would you two hush?
But Cora...

I'm keeping him from
embarrassing himself.
Yeah, I'mma take a picture.
Hush.

Do it.
Just ask.
I'mma see if she gon' say yes.
Laura.
Will you marry me?
Shh.

Yes!
Yes, we'll marry you.
Yes, we'll marry you.
I want you to tie that knot.
And y'all will go to holy mattresmony.
What are you gonna tell his Grandpa?
Nothing.
Nothing?
His granddad is in jail.
He was found in a hotel room
naked with a drunk sheep.
Shut

A sheep?
Hmm.
That's nasty.
Yeah.
He brought the sheep in hisself?
No, no.

A blind date.

Mmm.

Yes.
Oh, okay. Okay.
We have to get to the plane.
Mmm.

That is the right thing to do.
I knew you'd do the right thing.
Madea, thanks very much.
You were a wonderful hostess,

I'm a wonderful ho-stess?
Ho-stess.
Oh, that's hos, plural.
Okay, yes.

beloved Ireland.

talking about Iran.

"Drunk in Love" swag sort of run through.
Yep, I agree.

unclear of what the vibe is.
