Doesn't that count for anything?

No!

I don't get those underwear

up your ass crack.

- They don't cover a thing.

- I don't get it either.

Listen up this minute.

I'm not a child.

I'm a grown woman with a life

a thousand miles away. I'm going back.

I got coffee.

Good old Louisiana chicory.

- What are y'all doing?

- A Ya-Ya mission of mercy.

An intervention.

Why me?

I've been in therapy for 15 years.

With a professional!

She's the one that needs help.

You're right. But she's getting old,

like all of us. She is what she is.

But you have a long life ahead of you.

You shouldn't have to spend it

angry and resentful.

I'm not angry!

And my only resentment is y'all...

...disrupting my life

because Mama's pissed!

All I did was tell the truth!

Hold on, I'm spinning.

- What's that doing here?

- More will be revealed.

Don't you dare tell her we have it.

They're not talking, Necie.

That's why we're all out here.

Siddo, kiddo,

she doesn't know you're here.

Or that we have the book.

That's how it should stay.

But there are some things

in there that might...

...make a difference in how you feel

about Viviane Joan Abbott Walker.

I don't care if she was whacked

over the head by leprechauns.

- I just want to get out of here!

- You want out?

That book minus the chip on

your shoulder is your ticket back.

Thief.

- Cheers, darling.

- Cheers.

All right. Who wants to drown?

You, Sidda.

You show them how it's done!

Who's in trouble?

S-l-D-D-A!

Flail, darling. Make it look good!

Say a prayer.

Dear Jesus, we ask

that you help Miss Sidda.

She's going to die!

Petite darling, you were almost

a goner, but I think you'll make it!

That was stellar. You had me

believing there for a minute.

I knew I hadn't lost my touch.

You look good, Willetta.

Look like your old self again.

Don't be talking about old! You the one

with the birthday around the corner.

Don't be talking about birthdays.

You gonna tell me what's wrong?

Or do I have to use what brain cells

I got left to figure it out?

There's nothing wrong. Really.

Except...

...well, Sidda.

I wasn't a horrible mother, was I?

This about that Time magazine thing?

- How'd you know about that?

- Mr. Shep tell Chaney everything.

And Chaney tell me everything.

And I don't tell nobody nothing.

But I'm going to tell you

something right now.

Sooner or later...

...everybody's bill comes due.

You just got to let the child

feel the way she feel.

- There ain't nothing else to do.

- Sh*t.

Clubs are trump. It's all trumps.

Oh, my God.

Look at how young y'all are.

Oh, my God!

I would give anything

to know then what I know now.

And to still have those thighs.
