Nada brings the
drinks over along with the Crown Royal bottle. 
Nada sits down next to Carol and leans in and kiss her on the cheek.

Nada- Well I
was in my room, just studying and when there is a knock on the door.  Well who is there other than your mother
(flash back).

"Hello"
states Nada.  "Is there a place
where we can talk" asked Rebecca. 
Nada opens the door wider. 
"I was actually thinking that perhaps we could talk over coffee"
stated Rebecca.  "Just allow me to
grab my coat there is a coffee shop just a few blocks away."

The two walk in
silence, all the while Nada is thinking what does she want to talk to me about,
I have only seen her a couple of times when she comes to visit Madear.  Carol never mentions her and even when the
few times she visits Carol spends most of her time with us.   They arrive at the coffee shop and they both
order, Rebecca offers to pay for Nada drink. 
Nada assures her that okay.

Rebecca-Well Ms.
Reed I guess you are wondering why I’m here.

Nada-Yes I am
wondering what would you have to speak with me about.

Rebecca- Carol

Nada-Carol, You
would probably do best to speak with her as a matter of fact, I be seeing her later
tonight.     

Rebecca-Let me
more direct, I don’t why my mother allowed this "friendship" between
you and my daughter to continue, but it must cease.  I am more than willing to compensate you, but
understand after this evening I don’t expect this "friendship" to
continue.

Nada-Mrs. Cooper
you are out of line; and my "friendship" with Carol will not cease
today or ever and as far as your compensation, you  can keep. 
No I am not rich but I neither need or want your money. Your money can
not stop me from loving your daughter. 
As her mother you should want her to be happy.  Madear has always been a wise woman, I love
and  I respect her and you should respect
her.   Perhaps she sees something in our
"Friendship’"

Rebecca- Well
my dear, you could have been compensated, but just remember Family
Matters. 

Nada leaves
Rebecca at the table and returns to her room. 
She thinks about calling Carol but knows she is having dinner with her
uncle.  Later she meets Martin and his
new friend at local bar where she waits on Carol to show. 

Meanwhile,
Carol is having dinner with her uncle. 

Melvin-Carol
how are your studies coming?

Carol-very
well, everything is on track, I have already been accepted into Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Stanford and now I
all have do is decide.

Melvin-You
should have completed your undergraduate studies at one of these universities.

Carol-Uncle
Mel, I wanted to attend a HBCU and I also wanted to attend college with my
friends; Nada and Martin.

Melvin-Well,
never the less, you must study hard and be all that you can be.  As a Porter this is required.  I have some concerns about your cousin Bette,
she is now at this stage where she believes that she is lesbian, can you
believe that.  Where did I go wrong with
her, she is attends an Ivy League school and she comes up with this
nonsense.  Carol you keep your head on
straight.  Are you dating anyone at this
time?

Carol keeps her
head down "well Martin and I are dating."

Melvin-the
young man that lives down the street from mother. 

Carol-yes sir.

Melvin-what are
your plans.

Carol-well
Uncle Mel, we are going to finish school and take it from there.

Melvin-one
thing that two of you have going for you are that you are friends and already know
each other.  Second it would be very beneficial
for you to taken seriously if you are married. 

Carol- Well,
Uncle Mel, yes all things are true, we get there.

Melvin-Nonsense,
you must do what is best for you. 

Carol yes sir.
