Madea, you're so wise.

from Diary of a Mad Black Woman, which Jac and I watched the other night and absolutely LOVED:

Madea: I remember this dude made me so mad, I didn't even know how mad I was until I went to his funeral.

Helen: Why were you so mad at him?

Madea: Because he hit me. Yes he hit me... and I didn't even know how mad I was until I saw him in his casket, he's 8 feet under.

Myrtle: 6 feet, that's how they bury people, Madea, 6 feet under.

Madea: That's what I'm trying to say, I thought I was over what he did to me until I saw him at the funeral, I was so mad I BEAT HIM DOWN 2 more feet. You see, that's how you know if you're over something or not. If someone hurts you and you get a chance to take revenge and you walk away from it, then you're over it. If you don't, then you're not.

Did they ever explain why she was mad? And, was it angry mad, mad-scientist mad, or mothers against drunk driving mad(d)?

Oh, would you look at that: three mads(!).
Tell Jac :-).
