I didn't say anything.

I'm sorry. Conner needs

my help, Mama. I gotta go.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Love you Bye,

Do not look at me like that.

You don't understand.

I didn't say a word.

Are you okay?

Girl, I don't know why I let you talk

me into comin' and doin' this job.

- I didn't take my medicine this morning.

- What medicine?

Five milligrams

of "Don't choke that ho."

These customers gettin' right...

I feel I'm getting ready

to maybe catch a case.

- I could spit.

- What's wrong with you?

Lacey's not coming for Christmas.

That ain't no problem.

Children grow up.

They don't wanna come home sometimes.

Something's wrong.

- Eileen?

- What?

I know that look in your eye.

Don't go jumpin' to no conclusion.

I don't jump to conclusions.

Last time you went to

the doctor, you had a rash.

Walked up in there, told the man

you had cancer and you was dying.

Madea, many people in my

family have died of cancer.

- I know your family.

- Yes.

- My grandmother.

- Got hit by a bus.

But she had cancer. My uncle Bayrod.

- Drowned.

- Because he had cancer.

- Eileen?

- What?

No, no, no, no. Something is wrong.

Something is wrong with my child,

and I'm gonna find out what it is.

She's down there in the country,

and I don't know what's going on.

I haven't seen where she works,

where she live.

- It's just awful!

- Your daughter is grown.

Leave her alone. If she want to

come home, she will come home.

What you planning on doing?

I'm gonna go down there.

I'd like to see that,

'cause you don't drive.

- You do.

- Child, I ain't goin' to no Alabama.

Last time I was in Alabama, I was chained

to Andy Young and Jesse Jackson.

- You marched?

- We wasn't upright when we was marching.

- We gonna go down there.

- I'm not driving to no Alabama.

All my stuff is illegal. I don't

like driving through Georgia.

You think I'm gettin' ready

to drive through Alabama?

- I'll pay you.

- What time you wanna leave?

Okay. Good.

No, child. I can't get on

the road with my Cadillac.

It's got 4,785,000 miles on it,

and I just changed the oil in it.

Every light on the dashboard say...

"You crazy as hell if

you go anywhere in me."

- Madea...

- I can't do it, hon. I'm sorry.

Have you ever thought maybe she

just don't want to see you, Eileen?

My daughter loves me.

She loves spending time with me.

All right, honey. If you find a ride,

I'll go up there with you.

All right. Well, I will work on it.

Conner.

- What the hell you think you're doin'?

- What are you talking about?

I was down at the feed store.

They tell me you're planning

on planting corn this year.

Yeah, I was.

I plant corn.

Well, actually, what I'm

working on can help all of us.
