Curtis, what are you doing? You are not doing this! Doing what, Curtis? Readin' this! This Bible! It makes you soft, Ella.
And I'm not havin' it! This is warm.

Just, everybody, just calm down.
Okay.
Now, look, whatever money that contractor don't use is going toward my boat.
Stop it.
You're not getting a boat.
Yes, I am.
And I'm gonna sail away from you.
Okay, Curtis.
Uh-huhh! Babe, will you just hear what I got to say? Would you just think about it? Okay.
Yeesh.
Thought about it.
And the answer's no! Well, Curtis, you know that account is in my name.
Baby, don't push me.
What are you talking about, Ella? [Scoff.]
I control the money.
Is that what we gonna do right now, Ella? That's how we gonna do this? That's how you roll now? Curtis.
Baby, just think about it.
[Door opens.]
What are you doin'? Just think about it.
I can't believe you.
I just want you to think about it! Hi.

Don't mind him.
I never do.
You're home early.
Well, I wanted to come and talk to you two.
Let me tell you what: If that woman sent you over here to talk to me, forget it! [Chuckle.]
What is it about? It better not be about her.
Well, I think you three should find a way to solve this problem.
We already have.
- No, we haven't.
- You have? - What is? - Didn't I say we haven't? What is it, miss Ella? We were thinking that we would give her half the money.
We wasn't thinkin' nothin'! What's wrong wit you?! She was thinkin' that.
You know, I think that's not a bad idea.
You know what? I think you a bad idea.
I think that would solve all of this.
No, it won't.
Yes, it will.
Yes, it will.
Well, I think you three should meet.
No, we shouldn't.
I think that's a wonderful idea.
Well, I don't! - Shall I tell her to come by? - No! - Yes.
- All right.
- Okay.
All right.
- Yes! [Clap-clap.]
Yes! - Ooh, I feel better.
- [Door opens.]
I feel much better.
- So this the new you, Ella? - [Door closes.]
- What? - Just ignore me and disrespect me like that? You know I don't listen to you.
Half the time.
[Door opens.]
- Joann.
- Ya heard? I told you I would call you! Yeah, you was takin' too long.
So, what'd they say? They said, "I don't wanna talk to you.
" Okay, I'll go.
Come on back in here.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ella.
- Sit, please.
- [Chuckle.]
Over there! The hell you gonna come right next to me.
Curtis and I were thinking.
Curtis and I wasn't thinking nothin'! We were thinkin' that we would just split the money with you, half-and-half.
[Gasp.]
Ooh! Ella! - Were you really?! - No! Yes.
Yes.
We think that is the best thing.
You know what? This, you, with this "we" stuff, this gettin' on my nerves! We what?! He'll come around.
I ain't comin' around nothin', that kinda money.
Well, I don't think it's fair that we split the money.
Now, see? See, Ella? Ungrateful.
Hush, Curtis.
You better get her outta here.
Joann.
Well, what do you think is fair? Well, I-I did sell you the place and I knew there was a lotta work to be done.
Okay.
What are you saying? So, I'm sayin' that I want you to get that laundromat open.
And, after after you've gotten everything done, then we'll talk about whatever's left over to split together, after you pay for all the repairs to be done.
I think that's a wonderful idea.
- You do?! - Curtis, that is - a wonderful idea.
- I don't.
I think it's a stupid idea.
I'm sorry I was so closed-minded.
That, you were.
Well, I'm sorry that we didn't think about this beforehand.
I'm sorry I even married you.
And I'm sorry that you're my cousin.
And I'm sorry that you're here, period.
We will do it.
[Chuckling.]
Oh, good.
Then we have a deal? Yes.
- Thank you.
- No, no, no.
Why you shakin' hands with the enemy?! [Thud.]
Move! He'll come around.
But he's gonna talk all the way out.
Hey, mister lawyer man.
Curtis Payne.
Yeah.
What can I get if somebody slips and breaks they neck, walkin' out the door? How much? I just couldn't stand you being so upset with me.
Yeah, I don't like you two being upset.
[Chuckle.]
I'm glad you said we two being upset, because he is always upset about somethin'.
Don't worry about him.
I love him.
That's my husband.
He will come around.
