Duh! Yeah. Everything

in New York is expensive.

Why is he wearing that mask?

He a superhero?

That's stupid.

Maybe he's a cat burglar.

- [Kids, Together] Ooh!

- [Grunts, Gasps]

[All Screaming]

Oh. Kids.

[Grunts]

[Hip-hop Playing]

[Man Rapping]

[Continues]

[Clears Throat]

Oops. I'm sorry.

Did I wake you up?

I didn't mean to, but I gotta get up early

and practice my moves.

- Right.

- The dance recital is next week...

and I gotta rehearse

as much as I can.

They only pick the best, so I gotta be the best.

Do you want to see the routine?

- Not really.

- You must be Uncle Sheldon.

Mama told me all about you.

How long has it been?

Ten years?

You sleep late,

and you smell funny too.

- [Chuckles]

- I'm your niece Pudge...

but you probably haven't

seen me since I was two, huh?

- Pudge?

- My real name is Jamika,

but everybody calls me Pudge.

- You don't talk much. Are you always this quiet?

- Hmm. You-

I watch Oprah, and Oprah

says that being quiet...

is a sign that you feel like

your words don't have value.

God.

- [Continues]

- What is all that stompin' upstairs?

- Well, good morning.

- Good morning.

I don't know how they do it in New York,

but we get up early around here.

Okay. Well, I forgot

to pack a clock.

- Really?

- Yes.

- [Jackie] Mama!

- Yes?

- Mmm.

- Old man Percy's on the phone.

Oh. He must be callin' about his order.

Uh, tell him to call later and, um-

No, no, no. Tell him

I'll call him back. No, no.

Tell him, um-Just tell him not to call.

Hang up the phone. Hang up the phone.

- Mama, you all right?

- I'm fine.

[Jackie]

Percy-

Okay. Uh-

Why are you drinking

coffee out of a straw?

Well, it stains your teeth, Mama.

- Oh, really?

- Yes.

You know what?

Is there someplace in town...

where I can get online and do

some research on the Internet?

There ain't nothing on that

Internet but porn and bad music.

You need to go to the library

and crack a book.

There's computers

at the library you can use.

- You can drop me off at the shop on the way.

- Thank you, Jackie.

And after you do that, get back over here

so you can take Gabe to school.

- Oh. Well-

- Uh-uh. I don't have time for that.

I don't want to hear it.

I got a whole lot of washing to do.

Miss Norma Jean, she has a order in.

You remember her.

She's real hard to please.

So in about a half hour,

I want you to get back over here.

- And Gabe will be ready, won't you, honey?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Get your bacon. Just two pieces.

- [Gabriel] All right, Gran.

- You look so nice in this dress, Tanya.

- Really?

- Yes.

- You think so, Miss Jackie?

- Mm-hmm.

- You're not just sayin' that?

Oh, no, no.
