Woman: HEY.
HI. HI.
HOW ARE YOU? I'M PAMELA McGEE.
I'M MAGGIE. NICE TO MEET YOU.
NICE MEETING YOU.
TRAINING CAMP IS HERE.
JaVALE IS ALREADY IN DENVER.
NOW, WE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE MEET WITH THE CHEFS.
I'M TRYING TO HIRE A CHEF.
WE GOT TO GO GET EVERYTHING OUT OF STORAGE.
WE GOT TO SET UP HIS HOUSE. IT'S JUST A LOT TO DO.
AND IT SMELLS GOOD -- SMELLS REAL GOOD.
WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES,
YOU NOT ONLY WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FOOD IS SOMETHING WHAT THEY LIKE,
BUT IT'S ALSO YOUR PERSONALITY
HAS TO KIND OF MESH WITH THE CLIENT.
NOWADAYS, THEY GOT AGENCIES FOR EVERYTHING --
AGENCIES FOR NANNIES, AGENCIES FOR DOG KEEPERS,
AGENCIES FOR TUTORS.
AND SO, WE CALLED AN AGENCY THAT REPRESENTS CHEFS.
SO, THAT'S HOW I FOUND SOME CANDIDATES.
WELL, MO AND BRANDON,
DO YOU GUYS MIND IF I SPEND TIME WITH MAGGIE FIRST?
AND THEN I'LL CALL YOU GUYS IN INDIVIDUALLY.
THANK YOU, GUYS.
WE'RE INTERVIEWING CHEFS BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I HAVE A CHEF THAT CAN MEET THE NEEDS OF JaVALE'S SCHEDULE,
AS WELL AS MEET HIS NEEDS
ON WHAT HE NEEDS NUTRITIONALLY AS A PLAYER.
SO, FIRST OF ALL, MAGGIE, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A CHEF?
15 YEARS, BUT PROFESSIONALLY, ABOUT THE PAST TWO AND A HALF.
OKAY.
NOW THAT JaVALE IS PAID, HE'S A PICKY EATER.
HE WASN'T PICKY WHEN WE WAS POOR.
IF YOU HAD A SPECIALTY, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR SPECIALTY.
MY SPECIALTY WOULD DEFINITELY BE FISH AND SEASONALITY.
SOUL FOOD IS OUT?
SOUL FOOD'S ALWAYS IN.
IF I GOT TO BE BY THE HOUSE,
I MIGHT NEED ME A LITTLE SANDWICH HERE OR THERE.
NO, AND I'M FINE -- I'M FINE WITH THAT.
Pam: THAT'S SOME JAY STUFF.
JaVALE EATS HEALTHY, FAT-FREE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE WHAT SHE COME UP WITH.
I'M DOING A SEARED AHI TUNA ENCRUSTED IN SESAME SEEDS,
BLACK AND WHITE, WITH AN APPLE FENNEL SALAD.
MOST AHI TUNA YOU'RE GONNA FIND IS ALWAYS GONNA BE --
GENERALLY BE SERVED ON THE RARER SIDE.
I DON'T WANT TO EAT NOTHING RAW.
I DON'T LIKE MAKING A MESS.
OOH. WHOA.
I WAS THOUGHT SHE ABOUT TO PUT THAT BACK IN THE THING.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, SNAP."
I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS NASTY,
'CAUSE SHE DROPPED THE THING ON THE FLOOR,
AND SHE PICKED IT RIGHT UP
AND SHE WENT RIGHT BACK TO COOKING.
HERE YOU GO.
YOU THE BOSS. YOU GO AHEAD.
IT'S GREAT.
IT'S REALLY GOOD. IS IT GOOD?
YOU DON'T WANT TO TRY YOURS?
THIS IS A BLACK BEAN MASH.
WHAT IS IT, EXACTLY?
UM, IT'S JUST A HEALTHIER VERSION OF SHRIMP AND GRITS.
INSTEAD, I'M GONNA USE BLACK BEANS.
WHY IS IT MORE HEALTHIER THAN SHRIMP AND GRITS?
UM, WELL, GRITS -- GRITS IS A LITTLE HEAVIER...
SO, I FIGURED I GO A LITTLE LIGHTER.
UM, BLACK BEANS ARE HIGH IN FIBER.
OH, OKAY. HELPS LOWER LDL.
UM, RED BELL PEPPERS HAVE A LOT OF, UM...
[ CHUCKLES ]
...VITAMIN C, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
SO, A LOT OF REDS, AND JUST A HEALTHIER, LIGHTER VERSION.
IS THIS GUY INTIMIDATED BY ME?
IS HE GETTING AFFECTED BY THE AMAZONIAN DISCOMBOBULATION?
WHAT IS IT?
AND THERE YOU GO.
ENJOY. AW, IT LOOKS GREAT.
THANK YOU.
MM.
WOW.
YO, THAT BEAN HASH IS PRETTY GOOD.
THANK YOU. I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT.
I'M MAKING A SALMON DISH
ON TOP OF PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH QUINOA.
OKAY. OKAY.
GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES TO GET EVERYTHING READY.
PERFECT.
[ SOULFUL MUSIC PLAYING ]
WHAT?
I'M TRYING TO PICK A CHEF.
YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, JAY, ALL HE LOOKING AT THE CHEF
IS BECAUSE SHE'S CUTE, AND HE CHECKING OUT HER BUTT.
NO.
WA-HOO. LOVELY.
HER FOOD WAS LOVELY, SHE PREPARED IT LOVELY,
SHE PICKED IT UP LOVELY,
SHE BEND IT OVER AND BRING IT BACK TO US LOVELY.
THAT'S VERY TASTY.
REAL GOOD.
EVERYTHING SHE DID WAS A LOVELY.
THANK YOU, MO. IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING YOU.
IT WAS A PLEASURE MEETING YOU, TOO.
Pam: THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. I ENJOYED IT.
BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, JaVALE HAS TO FEEL THE PERSON,
'CAUSE THEY'RE INSIDE THE HOUSE,
AND HE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME WITH THEM.
SO, EVEN THOUGH I CAN SCREEN THEM, AND I MAY LIKE THEM,
JaVALE IS THE ONE THAT MAKES THE FINAL DECISION.
THAT'S A NICE COOK RIGHT THERE.
MM-HMM. MM-HMM.
WE NEED A COOK, TOO.
MM-HMM.
Pam: COMING UP...
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED, WHEREVER JaVALE STAYS,
THAT WHEN HE COMES, HE HAS A HOME, NOT JUST A HOUSE.
THIS AIN'T NO FAMILY HOUSE.
AIN'T NO KIDS RUNNING AROUND HERE.
SO, HE AIN'T TRYING TO MAKE IT A MOMMY HOUSE.
YOU TRYING TO MAKE IT FOR YOU.
WHAT THE...
OH, MAN. I AIN'T GONNA NEVER FIND THIS.
[ CELL PHONE RINGING ]
YEAH? YEAH?
YEAH, NAH, I'M GOING THROUGH THEM AT THE BACK OF --
I'M AT THE BACK OF THE STORAGE UNIT NOW.
I'LL FIND IT. I JUST GOT TO DIG DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE.
OKAY THEN.
PAM HAS ME LOOKING FOR THE PAINTBALL STUFF,
AND WHEN I WAS LOOKING IN THE L.A. UNIT,
AND I AIN'T SEEN IT.
NOW, I'M PRAYING TO GOD, LIKE, LORD, GOT TO BE IN THE DENVER,
'CAUSE IT JUST THE LAST PLACE HE BEEN.
I AIN'T KNOW THERE WAS GONNA BE THIS MUCH STUFF IN HERE.
I'LL START WITH SOME OF THESE BOXES.
[ CRASHING ]
OOPS.
IF I GO THROUGH THE UNIT
AND DON'T FIND THE PAINTBALL SET,
PAM WILL JUST GO OFF THE CHAIN.
[ MIMICKING PAM IN A FRENZY ]
PAM. I'LL FIND IT. JUST GIVE ME TIME.
BINGO.
UH-OH.
YOU KNOW, A BROTHER LIKE ME AIN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE THESE.
[ MIMICKING MACHINE GUN ]
KNEE PADS...
[ MIMICKING MACHINE GUN ]
OH, MAN, I GOT A G.I. JOE VEST AND ALL.
OH, BOY. I DONE HOOKED IT ALL UP.
WHEN I OPENED IT UP, IT WAS LIKE, OH, GOD, THANK YOU, JESUS.
MY PRAYERS HAS BEEN ANSWERED. I'M GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY.
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS DECENT.
OH, LORD, THIS BOY!
[LAUGHS] HE AIN'T GO NO FURNITURE.
HE'S LIKE A TYPICAL BACHELOR.
TRADITIONALLY, I PICK THE HOUSE DURING THE SEASON,
BUT NOW HE'S DOING HIS OWN THING, AND I'M NOT FEELING IT.
OH, WE GOT -- WE GOTTA GO SHOPPING.
YOU KNOW, BACHELORS AND YOUNG MEN, AND MEN IN GENERAL,
JUST LIKE A HOUSE TO BE A HOUSE.
THEY DON'T REALLY GET CAUGHT UP IN HAVING FLOWERS,
PHOTOS, PICTURES, OR WHATEVER.
BUT, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED WHEREVER JaVALE STAYS,
THAT, WHEN HE COMES, HE HAS A HOME, NOT JUST A HOUSE.
PAM!
YEAH, COME ON IN. WHERE YOU AT?
JUST COME ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BACK.
FOLLOW MY VOICE. WHOO! GOD!
THIS LIKE A...WHOO! NOW, THIS IS NICE!
[SIGHS] I GOT ALL YOUR BOXES.
YOU FOUND THE STUFF? YES.
THIS IS ALL THE STUFF FROM THE STORAGE ROOM.
DUDE, THIS IS -- HOW DO YOU LIKE THE HOUSE?
IT'S NICE, BUT HE AIN'T GOT NO FURNITURE.
PAM, HE'S 25.
HE'S 25, AND HE GOT -- HE'S A MILLIONAIRE.
HE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE HE'S IN COLLEGE.
THAT'S THE GOOD PART.
JUST THINK, HE'S A MILLIONAIRE, HE'S 25,
AND ALL YOU WORRYING ABOUT IS HIS FURNITURE.
HOW MANY CASES YOU GOTTA GO TO FOR HIM?
HOW MANY BABY MAMAS HE GOT? NONE.
HOW MUCH TROUBLE HE IN? NONE.
HE'S IN THE WHAT? NBA.
NBA! RIGHT.
Jay: AND SHE GOTTA LET IT GO.
THIS IS REHAB. YOU'RE DONE.
YOU DON'T NEED A CIGARETTE NOW. LET GO!
WE GOTTA GO GROCERY SHOPPING.
I GOTTA BUY SOME TOWELS.
HEY, HEY. WHAT?
I THOUGHT YOU WAS LETTING GO. I AM LETTING GO!
THAT'S NOT LETTING GO!
YEAH, IT IS. LISTEN...
I DON'T WANT HIM -- HE'S GOT TO COME HOME.
WHEN HE COMES HOME, HE'S GOT TO REST.
SO, I DON'T WANT HIM JUST WASTING TIME GOING TO GET STUFF.
THAT'S WHY HE GOT AN ASSISTANT. JUNE DO ALL THAT FOR HIM!
MM. THIS IS MARRIAGE STUFF.
YOU CUT HIM OUT -- YOU CUT HIM OUT AND YOU DO ALL THAT WITH ME?
YOU -- YOU COULD DECORATE THE HOUSE.
IT AIN'T ABOUT BEING MARRIED.
IT'S ABOUT THAT I WANT HIS HOUSE TO BE HOMEY.
I WANT IT TO BE LIKE AN OASIS,
A PLACE OF REST, AND I WANT IT TO BE NICE.
SO, THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
BUT, SEE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE MISUNDERSTANDING THERE.
THIS AIN'T NO FAMILY HOUSE.
THIS IS FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S SINGLE,
SOMEBODY WHO JUST TRYING TO LIVE, GO TO WORK, COME HOME.
AIN'T NO KIDS RUNNING AROUND HERE.
TRUE.
SO, HE AIN'T TRYING TO MAKE IT A MOMMY HOUSE.
YOU TRYING TO MAKE IT FOR YOU.
Jay: I KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME FOR PAM TO SAY BYE TO JaVALE.
IT'S GONNA BE LIKE [STRUGGLES]
USUALLY, I COME THROUGH, AND EVERYTHING BE SET UP, AND IT'S ALWAYS QUALITY.
YOU ACT LIKE I DON'T KNOW THAT!
BUT, YOU -- AT SOME POINT, PAMELA,
THEN YOU SAY, "I'M LETTING GO."
WELL, I DON'T WANT HIM TO LOWER HIS STANDARDS BECAUSE HE'S A BACHELOR.
THIS DON'T LOOK -- THIS ONE'S BETTER THAN THAT FIRST HOUSE WE HAD.
WHAT ARE TALKING ABOUT, "LOWER YOUR STANDARDS?"
THIS AIN'T GONNA LOWER YOUR STANDARDS HERE.
I'M SAYING, LIKE, HE NEEDS FURNITURE,
HE NEED -- YOU NEED FURNITURE.
HE DON'T NEED FURNITURE 'CAUSE HE'D HAVE BROUGHT FURNITURE.
HE GOT NICE STUFF IN HERE.
IT'S NOT A DORM ROOM.
IT'S NOT A HOME. IT'S A HOUSE.
HE'S SINGLE, AND HE NEEDS IT.
THAT'S WHY HE HAS IT INTO A HOME.
NO, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPEN WHEN HE MAKE IT A HOME?
HE START PUTTING THOSE PRETTY PILLOWS DOWN,
THEN HE START GETTING ALL THOSE LITTLE PEOPLE
THAT WANT TO TRY TO GET HIM TRAPPED AND MARRIED TO A BABY --
TRICK HIM INTO A BABY 'CAUSE, "OOH! THIS IS NICE! THIS IS HOMEY.
THIS IS WHERE I WANT MY FAMILY TO LIVE RIGHT HERE."
AND THEN YOU'LL BE, NEXT MONTH, NEXT YEAR,
"WHO THIS BABY MAMA?"
THEN, YOU'LL BE TRIPPING ABOUT BABY MAMA, THIS GIRL PREGNANT.
SO, DON'T -- DON'T RUSH HIM.
LET HIM GET TO THE HOME.
LET HIM HAVE THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
OH, WOW. THAT'S DEEP.
OKAY, I GET IT.
[ LAUGHING ]
ALL SUMMER, ALL YEAR,
YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR TO NOW.
HE'S MORE RESPONSIBLE.
HE'S VERY RESPONSIBLE. SO, YOU KNOW,
WHAT YOU COULD DO, IF YOU DON'T DO NOTHING ELSE,
MAKE THE LIST, BUT LEAVE IT FOR JUNE.
AND THAT WAY, YOU STILL WIN/WIN.
ALL THE STUFF GET DONE.
JaVALE STILL GET TO HAVE HIS WAY, RIGHT?
[ Laughing ] I'M GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWAL!
I AM MOVING FORWARD, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN,
I DO HAVE A WITHDRAWAL OR A RELAPSE.
[ LAUGHS ] I GO ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK,
BUT AT LEAST I'M MAKING STEPS FORWARD.
I TOLD YOU, I'M GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWAL.
I'M HAVING A RELAPSE! I'M GOING THROUGH IT WITH YOU!
I GOT TO HEAR EITHER SIDE OF IT!
ALL RIGHT, BUT ANYWAY, I'M GLAD WE FOUND THAT STUFF, THOUGH.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I GOT YOU.
YOU GOT IT IN.
NEXT TASK. LET'S GET TO THE NEXT TASK.
LET GO. LET GO.
AND DO PAM. AND DO PAM.
LET IT GO! WOO!
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
OH, THIS IS NICE! I KNOW.
I WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR MY BIRTHDAY PARTY.
HOW YOU KEEP BEGGING FOR A BIRTHDAY PARTY?
YOU ALREADY TALKING ABOUT YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY.
TONIGHT, WE'RE HAVING THE WEBSITE LAUNCH.
BUT REALLY, IT'S FAN APPRECIATION.
THE DENVER COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY KIND

JaVale: FOR THE LAUNCH PARTY, I DEFINITELY HAVE TO MINGLE,

MA, I GOT TO GIVE YOU A KISS.
GIVE ME A KISS? YEAH.
[ SMOOCHING ]
[ Crying ] I KNOW I GOT TO LET YOU GO.
AND IT AIN'T LIKE I DON'T WANT TO. I JUST DON'T HOW!
[ CRYING ]
SHE'S NOT GONNA GET OVER IT, EVER.
HEY! I GET RIGHT
AND THEN I DO MY THING FOR ME

Pam: NICE CROWD CAME OUT. I'M HAPPY WITH IT.
IT'S NICE. THIS IS REALLY NICE.

IN THE GAME WHO'S ALWAYS HOLDING THE SIGN? SHE CAME.
SHE'S HERE? OKAY.
SURPRISE!
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHAT'S UP, JAY? [ SCREAMING ]
WHAT'S UP, JAY-GIRL? WHAT'S UP, JAY?
Kym: WE LOVE PAMELA.
AND WE KNEW THAT IF SHE WENT TO DENVER BY HERSELF,
IT WAS GONNA BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO LET HER SON GO.
WHY DIDN'T Y'ALL TELL ME Y'ALL WAS COMING?!
WE WERE NOT GONNA LEAVE YOU ALONE
IN THIS BITTERSWEET MOMENT,
AND WE LOVE YOU, AND WE WANTED TO BE HERE.
ALTHOUGH YOUR SON IS A GROWN MAN, AND YOU A GROWN WOMAN,
YOU OUGHT TO HAVE YOUR OWN LIFE,
WE STILL GON' BE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU, BABY.
WE -- WE UNDERSTAND. WE'RE MOMS!
ONE, TWO, THREE.
TEAM McGEE! TEAM McGEE!
HOO! [ LAUGHTER ]
Pam: I CANNOT BELIEVE MY GIRLS CAME TO SUPPORT ME.
THEY KNOW I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES,
BUT THIS WAS A GOOD SURPRISE.
HELLO, EVERYONE.
[ ALL REPLY INDISTINCTLY ]
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM, MY NAME IS PAMELA McGEE.
I'M AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST.
AND I GO DOWN THE STREET, AND PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY,
"EXCUSE ME, DON'T I KNOW YOU? DON'T I KNOW YOU?"
AND I SAY, "YEAH, MY JERSEY IS RETIRED AT USC!"
THEN THEY SAY, "NO, NO. NO. YOU BIG FELLA MAMA."
[ LAUGHTER ]
THEY CALL ME MAMA McGEE.
AND MY SON IS THE EVOLUTIONARY BIG MAN, NUMBER 34...
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] ...JaVALE McGEE!
PAM IS VERY SENSITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO HER BIG FELLA.
AND SHE DID ALL THAT SHE COULD DO.
AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR MAMA EAGLE TO LET THE BABY EAGLE FLY.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING OUT
AND SUPPORTING THE WEBSITE LAUNCH,
AND I'M REALLY GLAD YOU GUYS ARE HERE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Alayna: TO SEE HOW HARD HE'S FOUGHT TO GET WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW --
AND HE'S A GOOD KID, YOU KNOW?
AND I AM PROUD TO CALL HIM MY NEPHEW.
THIS IS THE NEW WEBSITE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Pam: LOOK, YOU'RE A GROWN MAN,
AND NOW, GROWN MAN, YOU HAVE TO SHAVE.
SO, YOU GONNA -- YOU GONNA WEAR IT,
LIKE, TRIMMED ALL THE WAY DOWN DURING THE SEASON?
I WANT TO GROW IT OUT SO THE ENDS LOOK LIKE THIS.
AND WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH THIS?
NOTHING, LIKE I AIN'T
DID NOTHING WITH IT IN THE PAST.
I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU. I'M GONNA DYE MY HAIR BLONDE.
I'VE COME TO DENVER. I'VE LET HIM GO.
BUT I'VE GOT TO SAY GOODBYE NOW.
YOU DID REALLY WELL AT THE EVENT.
REALLY, REALLY...
LISTEN. I FOUND YOU A CHEF.
I ALREADY GOT A CHEF, THOUGH.
YOU DO? YOU FOUND YOUR CHEF? YEAH.
YOU RESEARCHED IT AND TASTED HIS FOOD?
NO, I HAVEN'T. BUT --
BUT IT'S ALWAYS A TRIAL PERIOD.
BUT YOU ALREADY TOOK CARE OF IT?
YEAH. ALL RIGHT, MY MAN!
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
OKAY! I WAS IMPRESSED.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S NOT LIKE
I HAVEN'T PUT EVERYTHING IN THIS GUY.
SOME PEOPLE CAN SAY THEY DIDN'T SPEND TIME WITH THEIR KIDS.
ME AND THIS KID BEEN TRAVELING EUROPE SINCE HE WAS 3.
I'VE PUT IN A LOT OF WORK IN THAT.
I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, 'CAUSE THIS IS REAL TRUE TO ME.
AND I MEAN THIS, YOU KNOW.
I'M TRYING TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION, BECAUSE IT'S --
AND THIS IS REAL TALKS OUT OF THE SINCERITY OF MY HEART --
IT IS VERY RARE
THAT MOTHERS GET TO SEE THEIR SON...
[ Crying ] ...METAMORPHISIZE INTO A MAN,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
THEY ALWAYS TELL ME, "YOU A SINGLE WOMAN.
YOU CAN'T RAISE A MAN."
WELL, I DID IT, 'CAUSE I SEE ONE IN FRONT OF ME.
AND YOU A GOOD DUDE.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT THAT --
I KNOW, BECAUSE EVERYBODY SEE YOU AS, LIKE,
JAVALE McGEE THE SUPERSTAR,
JAVALE McGEE THE ALL-STAR,
THIS GREAT BASKETBALL PLAYER.
I KNOW YOU 'CAUSE YOU JAVALE MY BABY,
AND YOU JUST A GOOD DUDE.
EVEN WITH MONEY -- YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD DUDE WITHOUT MONEY.
YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD DUDE BROKE AND YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD DUDE RICH.
I KNOW I GOT TO LET YOU GO,
AND IT AIN'T LIKE I DON'T WANT TO, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW.
I DEFINITELY THINK MY MOTHER'S TAKING BABY STEPS
TOWARDS JUST LETTING GO OF HER GROWN, SEVEN-FOOT BABY.
WELL, THEY'RE BIG BABY STEPS, 'CAUSE SHE GOT SOME BIG FEET.
SO, WE JUST NEED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION
WHERE WE CAN JUST HAVE NO WORK, NO BASKETBALL,
JUST JAVALE AND MAMA TIME, AND I'LL BE HAPPY.
FOR SHIZZLE.
AND I LOVE YOU. YOU TOO.
I LOVE YOU TOO, MOM. OH, MY GOD. UGH!
OUR LOVE IS SO ABUNDANT. [ LAUGHS ]
ALL RIGHT, I'M-A KISS YOU, AND I'M GETTING READY TO GO.
ADIOS, CHIQUITA.
[ HORN HONKING ]
Pam: WHO IS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW. ALL RIGHT, HURRY UP.
SOMEONE GHETTO BEEPING THE HORN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
PAMELA, WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!
WE GOT A FLIGHT TO CATCH. LET'S MOVE IT!
LET'S MOVE IT! COME ON, GIRL!
OF YOUR LUGGAGE.
Pam: I SOMETIMES GET CAUGHT UP.
BUT MY GIRLS ARE MY TRUTH.
I'M BLESSED THAT I GOT SOME GIRLS
THAT ARE NOT ONLY DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS ON THE OUTSIDE,
BUT DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS ON THE INSIDE -- GOOD PEOPLE.
ALL RIGHT, BIG FELLA.
Woman: GIVE HIM A KISS! GIVE HIM A HUG!
I ALREADY GAVE HIM HIS HUG AND KISS. HE GOOD!
IT'S NEVER GONNA BE EASY, EVER.
I'M OUT, BIG FELLA.
ME AND MY GIRLS, WE OUT!
Monique: IT'S LIKE GOING TO COLLEGE ALL OVER AGAIN.
EVERY YEAR, JUST TAKING HIM TO COLLEGE,
AND DROPPING HIM OFF.
HAVE YOUR PEOPLE CALL MY PEOPLE!
Monique: SHE'S NOT GONNA GET OVER IT. EVER.
THAT'S HER BABY FOR LIFE.
YOU GET THERE FAST!
