we just think it may be easier georgia honey we want what's best for you now this may be the way out of this whole mess you know how my brother would have felt i'm not interested in how joe would have felt thank you very much oh that looks darling thank you freddie yes ma'am oh come on you better get going you know i could teach you to do up her hair oh i'd appreciate that buddy it's just hair but i know it you know she favors you you think so she's got your eyes well her grandfather's taking her back to california sweet creek's an old-fashioned town with old-fashioned ideas that sure would be easier if easy is what you're after i guess bye-bye bye-bye bye jc have a great day how would you like to go to the park they've got a real nice swing there you know i haven't been swinging for one two three four 100 years pump your legs in and house in and out i don't know how to swim i'm almost seven you surely do you know your mama used to like to swing right up to the stars and try to touch the moon that's just perfect please don't really go that high well maybe not in california but you don't have the bilateral gravitational pull we have down here south really uh-huh sure okay i'll lean back take a deep breath tap them as fast as you can [Music] [Music] [Music] know having oh here in the summers is not such a new idea your mother used to spend summers with her grandmother maybe next summer you and i could spend some time chickens in the cows yeah you know about the and the bathroom's outside and you have to get real early to melt the cows goodness yeah you know more about this family than i realized are you very sick no i'm healthy the horse what mommy said why don't we get us some ice cream mommy doesn't let me have ice cream before lunch oh she's absolutely right you shouldn't have ice cream before lunch no i that was a terrible idea but i have something here i have something right here did you know that saltine crackers are filled up with most of the food groups that the fda requires for healthy [Music] lunch good luck very good let's go get some ice cream of course we'll finish our lunch before we get the ask [Music] thank you and three boys rob the bottle and a genie pops out and the genie says hell can each boy one wish the first boy should be smart and dean says poof you're smart the second floor which should be smarter than the first boy and the genie says poof you're smarter than the first boy and the third boy we should be smarter than the other two and the genie says poop you're a girl you're pretty funny i'm gonna have to write that one down daddy says ice cream it's too much sugar your daddy was a smart man he knows about all the food you have to know which foods keep you from getting sick that's right did he work in the market no he's a pharmacist he gives you medicine when you get too sick a pharmacist well how about your mama did she work there too no she goes to school like me to school what did she study sad people hi baby hi grandpa won't eat pie more for you and me tick tock right in the dough mama bakes a pie for lily mama bakes a pie for joke your mother taught you that yeah grandpa's here can i please have some more milk well that depends are you able may i please have some more milk certainly mate yeah you got it thank you very welcome jc tells me your son was a pharmacist yeah he uh got a degree at ucla and lily was a student jc said that she was studying sad people oh she's just finishing her studies in psychology really i always hoped she'd go to the university of georgia once she graduated from high school this is a finder we we baked a pie but jason says you won't eat it yeah not much on desserts oh honey dr darman called and he's going to take those old stitches out tomorrow morning 11 a.m doctor diamond is he still practicing medicine i don't think he'd be retired by now no he's still going strong you know dr darmit baby he saved your father's life the day he was born really yeah yeah no other doctors would come and visit us and the hospital said they wouldn't admit patients who weren't pre-registered we didn't have time to go to county general so your father was born in the parking lot of mercy hospital why because black people were not allowed in the white hospital that is absolutely not true and i don't think that it is fair for you to fill this child's head with with negative hateful stories about the sound you're right at all especially since we're leaving tomorrow afternoon why don't we have coffee in the living room are you ready man brother ah i put it to bed hope you don't mind no loves books and when she was a baby i started off on fairy tales now we're moving on up to classics you remember your first fairy tale oh yes cinderella my mother must have read it to me a hundred times i remember my first fairy tale i was about to jc's age about six kindergarten teacher read it to us on the first day of school little black is this how you intend to raise it just filling her up with hate and fear that's part of history the part you don't want to look at now look i don't have time for this we're leaving tomorrow we only have time for the truth well the truth is i would be the better choice to raise her why because you're white or because you're a woman i am simply more appropriate oh i know you hated my husband he was unspeakable to you and your son but i am not my husband and i would appreciate it if you would not treat me as if i were he held a gun to my son's head that night and you could have stopped him you think that i will take jc out of here and away from people like you and there's nothing you can do about it you know what jc's handicap is it's you and that hostile wall that you hide behind to cover your own inadequacies i may be inadequate but i didn't chase my only child out of my life [Music] breakfast honey breakfast what you doing baby i'm trying to look like mommy oh honey you do look like mommy but mostly you look just like you i'm sorry i don't have the same skin as you and mommy why would you say something like that because we're going so far away grandpa said it would be easier for you to remember me if i had white skin well your grandpa is wrong i would never forget you never in a million years you're my grandbaby you hear me mommy told me her mom was too sick to be a grandma well maybe i was but i'm getting better it sure was nice getting to know you even just a little bit maybe you'll come see me sometime let's see now seven six here we are mr hastings are you in there maybe it went to breakfast or something let's go see oh my god help help we need some help here can you unlock this door please this is an emergency please send an ambulance to the motel on cherry street is grandpa's sick again again honey has been sick before [Music] hi i'm dr rose are you here mr hastings yes he's going to be fine he took too much insulin and his blood sugar got too low but we managed to revive him rather quickly he's a diabetic yes i thought you knew that well then he isn't a drug addict no we can't release him alone he's not very well controlled right now and he has a severe foot ulcer and he told us he was in a california hospital for treatment but he checked out a few days ago hmm to come here well his kidneys and heart are doing fine right now but we've got to get his sugars under control the important thing is keeping his wound clean and medicated or he could lose his foot my word does your foot hurt no i don't feel a thing how are you oh i'm fine now it just never happens you know what for the traveling and the stress of me not being careful it won't happen again i still plan to take little jc back to san diego i called over to the resident care center i'm gonna have you moved over there tomorrow thank you two weeks that's all i need once i get home and get back on my schedule everything's gonna be better come here a little bit you are gonna have to stay with your grandma for a while until i get better okay no you can stay with us in my room oh no no no i'll take you no i can't do that why not i'm gonna be with you please don't leave me with her listen to me now listen to me time is gonna fly by so fast you'll stay with us until you're on your feet jc wants you nearby and i want what jason wants i don't think that that will be possible why because i'm a woman or because i'm white you're kidding me right you're gonna have that man living with you in your home are you crazy yeah lynn she lost both her mother and her father she can't lose him too oh my god georgia send him a card make him a pie you don't invite a man like that into your home oh a man like what don't you play games with me you are a single woman living alone in a town that has formalities and traditions well the hell of a town i i got to do what's right for it's one thing to have a beautiful black baby living in your house it's another to have a fully grown black man sleeping under your roof and you have a choice here no i don't have a choice i need to do what's best for jc [Music] this is your room yes it is this is not right i need to find another room all the rest of the bedrooms are upstairs this room is perfect the bathroom is right across the hall it'll be easier for you i won't take your room it's already done i moved all of my things upstairs so that i can be closer to jason you will stay here and it's nothing to do i think she's mad at you i don't think that max likes smoking number two very much he just needs to get to know her mommy says the animals think they hate different animals but they're just afraid to love what they don't know [Music] yo mama was a smart cookie absolutely right you remember you was born and raised in california i made the rice and the salad don't eat the slimy stuff oh your grandpa was raised on here but he just loves okra i may have grown up here but you're right that oakley is a vile substitute for a vegetable why don't you run and get the salt and pepper i forgot him no there's this little charade there's an attempt to coerce me into letting jc stay here sweet creek you're wrong i'm gonna fight you all the way i know you have told me several times you know i am trying to be civil in a very uncomfortable situation i would appreciate it if you would extend me the same courtesy look you and i we may have grown up here but we come from different worlds mr hastings you just lost your son and i just lost my daughter we live in the same world whether we like it or not mrs poda tomorrow's jc's birthday now lily used to make her a cake now will you get a one tomorrow please no chocolate make sure throw up i know thank you you're welcome you roll on over there why do you have stars up there those are your mother stars you know there's one there for every year of her life your mama just loves stars do you think mommy and daddy miss me as much as i miss them no ma'am i do not i think your mother and father are right here watching over you they're making sure you're happy and they're making sure you're not eating too much ice cream so you just better go to sleep and give them some rest [Music] roses on your pillow roasts on your pillow honey [Music] feminine mystique a woman struggle against man alone and happy a woman there is a warrior in every one of us a woman will call on her warrior or let her sleep [Music] what am i doing here meet your approval it's just fine yeah it's not bad i called madeleine this morning and i asked her to invite her grandchildren over to the georgia peach meeting that way jacy will meet some friends and then i'll invite him back here for a cake and ice cream ladies what is a georgia peach they're a uh a group of women volunteers currently we're putting on a dinner to raise money for the homeless shelter hmm well lily volunteered for the battered woman shelter in san diego did she thank you for telling me thank you for the cake i did it for jesse hello jc hello mrs porter how are you hello jc happy birthday thank you oh she's so excited to be meeting your grandchildren i'm sorry but the girls couldn't come they have the sniffles um all three of them that's too bad well jesse you're just gonna have to be at georgia peach today you sit right beside me and all my good friends well i think we should move right to the first order of business i spoke to the caterer and she said that the three main order would be more than enough so that we should cancel the caviar and toast and right there we'll save 800. wonderful oh my word betty made her shortcake half the reason people come to the gala is to try some of betty's great desserts and to see what racy thing i might wear better start baking now betty looks like we're gonna have a big turnout yes ma'am ready you've been as much a part of the georgia peaches is any one of us we should make you an honorary peach well that's true enough my bet is a special girl thank you man thank you miss porter my goodness betty we've known each other 15 years please call me george thank you ma'am georgia betty i think i'll take an itsy-bitsy piece of that cake now such a shame the gardens aren't as nice as last year what is with you me what's with you all of your grandchildren is suddenly unavailable that is just it's bull that's what it is you have a black man living in your home now isn't that just a slap in the face why is not living in your home don't you dare i treat betty like a member of my family i always have but there are rules i know where the line is and you have crossed it maybe it's time we moved the line as a matter of fact i'm thinking of asking lou hastings to be my escort at the georgia peach dinner are you trying to provoke me this is not about you this is about chasey she's part of your family now too it's time you started treating her like that you're self-righteous i love you like a sister and i am sorry about lily but don't you preach to me you were me a week ago then shame on me hi grandpa hey you know there the kids weren't there oh this town has changed huh i should have known better they were sick didn't have anything to do with anything don't you worry about those kids little bear i got a very special birthday gift just for you look at that it looks just like mommy what did this mommy she wanted you to have it i'm gonna go show smokey number two all right i gave that cross to lily for her confirmation when she was 12 years old [Music] oh we got you some books did you know that two of the authors on the best-selling list of black i mean african-american does that surprise you yeah it does maybe i'm growing i wouldn't worry about it i've got a lot to overcome try it hey well thank you that's been broken a long time and you're welcome it's the least i can do i know how hard it was for you to take me in why do you get so many catalogs oh i just like to shop at home i like to be able to think without a salesperson standing over me you probably wouldn't understand that you're so good with people oh what oh i didn't even know it was july what is it oh once a year the star registry sells ownership of the stars you get to name them and keep them forever i bought one every year since lily you know went away they published her name and mine and every important newspaper all over the country and i i just always hoped that whoever she was she might she might see our names and i know how much i loved her she could call her registry too and they'd send her her stars they're just little charms for braces oh i guess this is stupid [Music] hi ben hi i brought my grandchildren over for jc's birthday party um i'm sorry maybe i should have called oh no that's wonderful jc now come on in i'm so happy to see you thank you hi i'm jacy

just got it am i hurting you no no no all right well at least you won't have to lock your bedroom door anymore clearly it's hard for the black man to climb them steps without his foot i am an old-fashioned moral southern woman i wouldn't care if you were pink with purple polka dots there's still a man and i would still lock my door i see no you don't all right let's get back in come on yeah i'm uh i'm sorry about this afternoon i'm sure he was uncomfortable being with my people no not at all i was just happy to crash the party yeah right i'm sure you would have felt much more at home with your georgia peaches at the fancy dinner when is that dinner that was tonight i'm sorry for what what seems impossible for lily to have been raised by you and your husband and still come out so special really ah i take that thought back good night this park has gone to hell in the handbasket time was you could come here and have a pleasant afternoon the handsome devil over there is my grandson the boy's got two speeds red hot fire and coma i can hardly keep up with him that's my granddaughter over there where on the swim that's jc that's my baby i see well isn't she adorable i

[Laughter] [Music] [Music] it's getting late we should be thinking about dinner [Music] are you alright [Applause] [Music] [Music] i know [Music] your grandpa and i here will always be here forever and ever it will be all right [Music] is she asleep she's starting to remember everything about the accident i can't even imagine what you must be feeling well school starts in a couple weeks maybe when she's around the teachers and the friends and everything's on schedule they might go back to normal our children are gone and that little child upstairs is suffering god knows what every bit of
