- Where's the stole, LaVonda?
- On Mama, where it belongs.

:30:06
Ooh-ee, look at all this food.
:30:08
You're just doing this out of spite,
LaVonda Jane.

:30:11
Mama's gonna look like a fool
wearing that fur in all this heat.

:30:15
Noleta came by and brought
a tuna casserole, and I refrigerated it.

:30:18
She's real worried how this is gonna
affect y'all's friendship.

:30:21
She kicked G.W. out,
and I gave her some Valium.

:30:24
- That's sweet.
- You mean it's true?

:30:26
Of course it's true.
There's a police record
on it and everything.

:30:31
Why wouldn't you think it was true?
:30:33
This ain't gonna affect our friendship.
:30:35
Well, I told her that,
but she's real worried.

:30:37
- You ought to go see her.
- I can't believe it.

:30:40
- Did they arrest G.W.?
- For what? Leaving two wooden legs
in the wrong place?

:30:45
No. They just had to investigate,
you know...

:30:47
given the circumstances and all.
:30:50
I read the coroner's report.
:30:53
Mama hit her head on the sink...
:30:56
and the blow caused her brain
to be flooded with blood.

:30:59
- She internally hemorrhaged to death.
- Oh.

:31:02
Subdural hematoma
is what they called it.

:31:05
- Oh.
- [ Sissy ] Bless her heart.

:31:08
They say she never suffered.
:31:10
I just think Sister felt cooped up
all those years with your daddy.

:31:14
You know how he was.
:31:16
- She just, you know, had needs.
- Needs?

:31:21
Yes, needs, Latrelle.
Some of us have needs.

:31:24
It's run in this family.
:31:27
Although, I'm quite convinced
it must have skipped a gene or something
when you was born.

:31:31
- [ LaVonda Chuckles ]
- I have needs too, I'll have you know.

:31:35
I just don't make mine public.
:31:37
Well, I don't recall any of mine
being made in a public place, Latrelle.

:31:42
Unfortunately, I can't say the same.
:31:47
- You are awful.
- Guilty.

:31:51
- [ Both Laughing ]
- Our one and only mama has died...

:31:56
by tripping over two wooden legs
and hitting her head on the sink
in a seedy motel room...
