00:00 Get up! Get up!
00:03 Hey, Mama.
00:04 Hey, baby.
00:05 Here's the cereal from the store.
00:06 Thank you, honey.
00:07 You do your homework?
00:08 Yes, ma'am.
00:09 Where's your sister?
00:10 Still sleeping.
00:11 Oh, God. Lisa, get up! You gotta go to school!
00:14 I swear that girl sleeps like an old woman.
00:17 Yeah, like an old pregnant woman.
00:19 What you know about an old pregnant woman?
00:22 Boy, you better not let me hear you talk about an old pregnant woman
00:25 till you finish high school, graduate college, get you a job.
00:28 I mean a good job. Get you a house. I mean a big house.
00:31 Get you a wife. I mean a great wife.
00:33 You hear what I'm saying to you?
00:34 Yeah, I won't get no more girls pregnant, all right?
00:37 Boy, I'm just playing. I'm just playing.
00:41 And you know what? Lisa didn't do these dishes last night either.
00:44 Lisa!
00:45 What?
00:46 Girl, why didn't you do these dishes?
00:48 I was tired.
00:50 Tired from what?
00:51 All that I do in a day.
00:53 You go to school.
00:55 No, she don't.
00:56 Try going to work at a job you hate for 12 hours a day.
01:00 Try paying all these bills and raising two kids by yourself.
01:03 Well, whose fault is that?
01:05 Lisa.
01:06 What'd you just say to me?
01:08 Nothing.
01:09 Look, I'm doing the best I can here.
01:10 Neither one of your daddies is helping me out.
01:12 Well, Mama, maybe if you let me see my dad, he might give you a little money.
01:17 Lisa, you don't see your father for a reason now.
01:19 Why?
01:20 It's too early in the morning for this.
01:22 Mama, I'm just asking why that's my dad.
01:24 I know that's your dad, but I don't want you anywhere around him.
01:27 Why?
01:28 Okay, look, look, look.
01:29 I'm not talking about this right now.
01:31 How are we not going to talk about this?
01:33 You say that every time I bring up my dad that you don't want to talk about this.
01:37 That is so not fair.
01:39 You let Tony see his dad, and his dad is a jerk.
01:42 Look, Tony's dad is different.
01:45 He's different?
01:46 What does that mean?
01:47 He's better than my dad?
01:49 All right, look, Lisa, I'm not playing with you.
01:50 Mama, I'm just asking why I can't see my dad--
01:52 Say one more thing!
01:56 Tony, take out that trash.
01:58 Yes, ma'am.
