Eddie Wilson is the maaaaan.
Somebody want that Eddie.
G-mama, what's good?
I need your help.
I need him outta here.
Who?
Who you think?
Uncle Eddie? What?
He don't, he don't cook for himself, he don't clean up.
He won't do nothing, he expects me to do everything.
So what's you I can't,
I'm just too old for that.
Here we go, watch your step.
I just had to show you this gorgeous backyard
that I showed your Mrs. earlier this week.
Thank you so much for accommodating us.
Oh, absolutely, no problem, no problem whatsoever.
So what you want me to do?
Get yo boys.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Get him outta here.
You know what I'm talkin' bout.
Say less.
Yes, discuss it and then I'll be right back with guys.
Okay. Okay, alright.
What?
Hello?
Hello?
Charlie?
So, what did you think about dinner?
Auntie, don't nobody cook like you.
You think so?
Yes Ma'am, not even my momma.
Aw, that is so sweet.
Give me a hug.
Now, that is why you Auntie's favorite niece.
Besides the fact that you agreed to come
and help me do some yard work today.
Simone, come here quick!
What, what?
What is that?
I don't know.
Ummm, give it to me.
I'm gonna keep this now.
No.
Yeah. Simone, give it back!
Yeah, I'm keeping this.
No.
Girls.
Um, hey Auntie, what, what is this?
Oh my gosh, wow.
That right there is something that's
very very dear to my heart.
How so?
Well, it belonged to a good friend of mine,
and it was given to me to remind me that God has my back.
No matter what I go through, and,
your Auntie's been through a lot.
I'm sorry to hear that, Auntie.
But, ummm, what does E.W. stand for?
That was my friend's initials.
Listen, looks like you really like that, right?
Yeah, I really do.
I'll tell you what.
If you promise to keep it
and take good care of it, it's yours.
Really? Really.
And if you hold it close, you'll always know
who's in charge and you'll never be worried about anything.
How 'bout that?
I'd like that a lot.
Thank you, Auntie.
You're so welcome, Sweetheart.
Now, put it up. Okay
And we are gonna finish getting
these flowers in this dirt.
Oh yeah. Okay?
This one can fit on down in there.
Push the soil in there real good.
You're really pretty good at this, girl!
Am I? Yes, you are.
I'm gonna have to have you come over again.
Please. You probably be
dodging me then, huh?
No, no way, Auntie.
Miss Washington, you can take a look at this.
This is your aunt's file, get settled here.
For a second I was in the VIP wing of our hospital,
you understand.
I do. Okay, just make this final.
Put Leonte on the phone.
I said put Leonte on the phone.
None of yo business, just put him on the phone.
Hey, did you pick up Taekwondo from the babysitter?
You ain't pick him up?
I told you when I left the house this mornin'
that you have to pick him up this afternoon.
What is you doin'?
No, you supposed to pick,
no, you supposed to pick him up today.
Now you gonna have to go up there,
and I'm gonna have to pay all these late fees.
I ain't payin' no late fees.
That's why you supposed to put the money in
my account on the 1st and the 15th.
If you ain't put none in there this month,
then you ain't, I ain't payin' for nothing.
No, you gonna go up there,
no you fi'in do.
You gonna, I'm gonna hang up this phone on you.
I bet you I will, I bet you I will.
Bye.
Where were we?
Uh, so,
Doc, what does all this actually mean?
Oh, Miss Washington, I'm afraid your aunt is going to..
Ah, ah, ah, don't be.
Don't be what?
Don't be afraid.
Miss Washington, that's just a figure of speech.
Um um, I know exactly what it is,
and it's a figure of fear.
Listen, Dr. Stephens, you know I love my auntie
with my whole heart and she's a woman of God.
A true woman of God, and she taught me at a very young age
to never, ever speak with fear.
And me being a woman of God myself, thank you Jesus,
hallelujah, I will not be falling
for the trick of the enemy.
So please, don't be speakin' fear up in here.
It upsets me.
The trick of the what?
Enemy.
You're getting a little deep, aren't you?
I was just trying to say that I think your aunt's
heart condition requires an additional surgery.
Another surgery?
She just had one last year.
Correct.
And that procedure was perfectly fine for that time,
but since then, things have gotten worse,
and she needs to go under the knife, again.
Okay, um.
Okay, uh.
Okay, well, what are we waiting for?
Let's do it.
Hmm, well, it's not that simple.
Last year when she underwent surgery,
she was backed by a government program
that provided 100% insurance.
Since then, there's been a situation with
the government funding and they're providing zilch.
Okay, I don't understand.
Is that a new insurance program or something,
I mean, what? Oh, how can I...
Well yeah, if it's the kind where they don't cover nothin'.
What?
They ain't givin' you jack, okay?
Jack, zero, zilch, nada.
What other words can I think. Okay, I get it.
How could that even be though?
I mean, what?
You know what, I don't even care.
Just tell me how much it is.
I gotta go in my own pocket for
my favorite aunt, I'll do that.
$250,000.
250,000 what?
Dollars.
You know, those little green pieces of paper
that you use to buy stuff.
How in the world are we supposed to come up with that?
We?
I'm a doctor, so I can blow off 250 thou
in a few days and cause no problems.
I suggest you do the best you can with whatever you've got,
to get whatever you can get.
What?
Miss Washington, when you let yourself out,
can you please make sure you close my door.
You broke people tend to leave behind an aura
that leads other broke people into my office
and I don't like it.
