Robert 'Granddad' Freeman:
Do you know how long I wanted to own my own restaurant?
Huey Freeman:
Three weeks. At Sunday dinner, that was the first time you mentioned it. And you only started doin' the stupid Sunday dinner thing because you saw Soul Food on cable.
[Bell sounds]
Huey Freeman:
We're gonna pause this for the benefit of all ya'll that never saw Soul Food. Soul Food is a movie about a big, humongous, black grandmother, aptly named Big Mama. Big Mama demonstrates her love by feeding herself and her offspring enormous amounts of pig lard. Then - get this - Big Mama's arteries are so clogged, they gotta amputate her arm.
Robert 'Granddad' Freeman:
It was her leg!
Huey Freeman:
Right, OK, whatever, leg. Then, she dies from a heart attack or another stroke or somethin'. And what does the family do after she dies? They get together for a Sunday dinner and eat the same food that just killed Big Mama. The *same* food. They didn't learn a lesson, nobody went on a diet, and that's the end of the movie.
Robert 'Granddad' Freeman:
Sunday dinners was my idea! They got that from me.
