06x03 - w*r and Peas

[bunniefuu]

[Tammy] Previously on
the 1000-lb Sisters.

Where do you want
to go from here?

The amount of weight
you've lost is unbelievable,

but your goal weight loss
would be about another 100 lb.

I didn't expect to have
to lose more weight.

[Tammy] Before Michael...

You know that Tammy has been
talking [bleep] about my boys.

If she brings
her attitude towards me,

there ain't no telling
what's gonna happen.

[Tammy] I love my nephews,

but I'm tired of them messing
around and breaking things.

I'm coming to my within.

That b*tch y'all didn't like
is about to come back out.

We've all talked
about getting gym memberships,

so I took the initiative.

How about we make this into
a friendly little competition?

If I make it a competition,
I'm gonna try to beat y'all.

No. I need to do this
for my own--

That's what
we want you to try to do.

-No, I'm doing this my--
-Hey.

You sat right here
in my ear and you are yelling.

Why are you
giving me that look?

I'm getting real [bleep] sick
and tired of the attitude.

Get out of my house.

Damn straight, b*tch.

Damn straight, [bleep].

Let it go.
This ain't the time.

-You got your nerve, b*tch.
-Yeah.

Let it go.

No.

I am not gonna tolerate
nobody disrespecting me

in my [bleep] house.

[Amanda] I'm sick of it.

[bleep] make it make sense,
Brittany, make it make sense.

No, I can't.

I don't...

[bleep] hurt?
I don't get [bleep].

[Chris] After our not so great
appointment with Dr. Smith,

I thought we could all use
gym memberships

to get us back on track.

I really thought
I was doing a good thing,

but all hell broke loose.

So I got Amy running
down the street.

We don't know
where she's going.

And Tammy's up
by herself in the van.

I'm just gonna leave
her to calm down, because...

[laughs]

Extra steps.

[laughs]

[Brittany speaking]

[Chris] I thought you
were following me.

I thought you was
following me out.

I'd rather be out in the cold
than listen to that.

I'd rather [bleep] freeze
than listen to them holler.

I have to go,
I feel like I have to run.

What did I miss?

I was trying to tell Amanda,
like, I understand

where you're coming from
and where they're coming from.

[Tammy] 'Cause personally--

[Tammy] No, let me finish.

This is why I got upset
in there,

because everybody
kept cutting me off.

Personally, if I was
to be in a competition,

and I [bleep] failed,
and didn't lose
enough weight...

That's what I
was trying to [bleep] say.

And Amanda [bleep] got mad
and cut me off.

I feel like Amanda
just threw me out of the house

like a piece of trash.

I would have never
done that to her.

Never.

And nobody tried to stop it.

That is not how
families should act.

[sniffles]

I'm done with
everybody in this family.

It's always been the older
siblings, and me and Tammy.

There's always
been that division.

Like sit down and actually
listen to what I'm saying.

I don't know why
they don't respect me.

I'm not the stupid sister
that they think I am.

I've let them do that
to me for years.

[sobbing]

I never [bleep] wanted
to come home to this [bleep].

After today, she better not
even call me, text me,

nothing.

I can do much
better without her.

[Amanda] Everybody out
here talking [bleep]?

[Brittany] Nobody
was talking [bleep].

[Amanda] Why didn't you?

Why don't you guys
ever stand up for me?

I'm upset with you too, Chris.

She is hateful
and mean to everyone.

To the people
that has had her back.

For her to stand back and say

that she bends
over backwards for us

when her whole [bleep] life

all we've done
is take care of her?

I'm done.

And I do mean it.

If she's on her deathbed,
don't [bleep] call me.

Hello? Anybody home?

-[Tammy] I'm in the kitchen.
-All right.

So I come over today to
just to see where Tammy's at

and how she's feeling
about yesterday's fight.

I don't know
how serious Amanda is

about kicking Tammy out.

I wasn't there, so I didn't
hear how she sounded.

How are you doing today?

How am I doing?

Just doing the dishes
a little bit.

[both laugh]

[Tammy] My emotions today
are up and down.

I didn't sleep much
last night and...

I'm like, heartbroken.
I feel so alone.

I just can't believe she
would say something like that.

And thank you so much
for sticking up to me,

but I didn't know

that it was going to escalate
as much as it did.

-And I apologize for that.
-What do you mean?

[Tammy] Ain't nothing
to be sorry about.

Amanda went too far.

[Tammy speaking]

[Tammy] Now that I've lost
so much weight,

I feel like she's
kind of jealous.

The spotlight's not on her.

She's not the pretty sister
no more.

I did not deserve that.

Her kids run over me.

This isn't my place.

It's never been my place.

Amanda has kicked me out of
her house, that house, before.

Like I actually lived
with her once, 15 years ago.

Never let a family member
be your landlord.

Lesson learned.

Ever since I've [bleep]
come back from rehab,

she ain't been...
not texting me.

Not coming over. Nothing.

It's freaking sad

that I can't even call
my family, my family anymore.

Before I left to go to rehab,

Misty would come over
at least once a week,

and we would talk
almost every day.

But now that I'm home, it's
like, you know... whatever.

Chris came over
whenever he could.

But like three months
after I got home...

Where is the family
strength at?

What family strong?

Chris wanted to talk
about family strong

and this and that.

Where was that yesterday?

[Amy speaking]

I got a room in my house
if you want.

I'm to the point
where I want to move

the [bleep] away
from Kentucky.

At this point, I just
need to get

far, far away from my family.

I don't know what edamame is.

I'm gonna need some spices.

Just stuff that you put

in a typical white
chocolate shrimp Alfredo.

Never used [bleep]
puck cream before,

but I used a lot
of lube in my life.

[laughs]

You know, we're getting ready
to buy this house next to us.

So it is an option
for Tammy to live in it.

Why can't Tammy live with Amy

since Amy lived with Tammy
when all that was going on?

I'm not going to lose my wife
over one of my family members.

I'm not gonna do it.

[country music playing]

[Amy] After that blow up
with Amanda,

I'm focusing on the stuff
that makes me feel good.

And cooking to me
is like a therapy release.

So I'm here today

to make a white chocolate
shrimp Alfredo.

I don't know where
my crazy recipes come from.

I just want to experiment.

At the end of the day,
it might not be good,

but it might be b*mb [bleep].

[laughs]

White chocolate? Yes, ma'am.

It's down here in aisle 3.

What I'm making
is a white chocolate Alfredo.

It's like regular Alfredo,
just add chocolate chips.

Really?

I prefer garlic in mine,
but, you know...

-They're out.
-And onion.

Really?

Not Dancing
with the Chefs [bleep].

[both laugh]

I'm gonna need
to grab some spices.

Just stuff that you put in
a typical Alfredo.

Okay.

I don't know what edamame is.

What is it?

[Amy] Oh, wait.

I think it's a sweet
condensed milk type deal.

It looks Arabic or Indian
or Taiwan or something.

Wait... Bahrain.

Oh, close enough.

Was it here?

I don't know. I just started.

Only in Kentucky
grocery stores.

I hope this all
comes together,

and I don't end up
with food poisoning.

[country music playing]

[Chris speaking]

[Misty speaking]

[Misty burps] Excuse me.

[Chris] Me and Misty
are going by Amanda's today

to check on her because
she just had her surgery.

I know your legs are short,

but you can walk
faster than that.

[Misty] a*s [bleep].

[Chris] I've talked
to all my sisters

since the big fight
a week ago,

and we're on good
speaking terms.

I'm just more worried
about what kind of terms

that Amanda, Tammy,
and Amy are on.

[Amanda] Come in.

-Hey, sis. How you doing?
-[Misty] Hey.

All right. Just doing
a little bit of--

[Chris] Man, won't
you cover that up?

Nobody wants to see that.

[Amanda] This is actually part
of my physical therapy.

I understand that, but
nobody want to see your leg.

Especially--

[Amanda] It's better than
seeing your face.

It's not that bad.

[Amanda] I haven't talked
to Tammy and Amy

since the big blowup
in my house the other day.

I'll be honest.

I really don't even remember
everything I said that day.

I was extremely doped up,

and I had surgery
the next day.

The surgery went well.

But the pain I have
with my leg

is still extremely intense.

[Misty] So have you talked
to Amy lately?

[Amanda] I still haven't
spoke to her.

I didn't understand
what the big deal was.

I wasn't trying
to be rude to Amy,

but she was sitting right here
and just screaming in my ear.

[Chris] Yeah.

I have no idea
how it went from me

suggesting a friendly
family competition

to Amy storming out the house.

I mean, honestly,
appreciate Amy walking away

and not throwing hands.

But it's kind of stupid that
it even went that far anyway.

The big deal is

how do we go about getting
this all worked out,

especially with you and Tammy?

Well, I'm not going to...

I'm not going to pack all
the blame for this [bleep].

-And I know that
-[Amanda] I'm not.
I swallowed my pride--

As far as the house
and all that,

I know I said that [bleep]
you know,

but that's because
she pissed me off.

When she got smart with me

on top of the way that she's
been treating my children,

Tammy done made
me mad enough

to where I was out for blood.

And I was, I said
anything to hurt her feelings.

Was I wrong? Absolutely.

I shouldn't have did that.

All of that being said,
if she wants to get

back on good terms
and stay in the house,

she would definitely
have to apologize to me.

For years now,
we've allowed Tammy

to be some type of way
because, you know, poor Tammy.

She's fat.
She can't do [bleep].

But now that she's in
a different place physically,

I'm not excusing
that behavior anymore.

If she wants
to apologize to me,

then I'll accept that apology.

But I don't need either one of
you to interceding on my part.

[Chris] Okay.

And what I mean by that is

I don't need y'all
to run over and tell Tammy,

"Well, just go over
and talk to her."

No, I don't want nobody
doing that because

if she don't want
to come on her own,

then I don't want
to talk to her.

All right.

I don't ever remember Tammy
apologizing for an argument,

between any of the siblings.

So if Tammy does it,

Amanda better go play
the damn lottery
because she's winning.

I just hope it don't cause
a rip in the family.

It's kind of sad
because at the end of the day,

you are family.

You gotta love
each other regardless.

Blood's blood.

Yeah, I love her.

But right now she's someone I
have to love from a distance.

b*tch, what the [bleep]
are you cooking?

I'm making a shrimp Alfredo.

I never follow a recipe.

Most of the time, I don't even
know what I'm grabbing.

Now I do got
one secret ingredient.

[lively music playing]

I'm gonna cook lunch.
You want some lunch?

Are you hungry?

Today I'm making a white
chocolate Alfredo with shrimp,

a spinach and cauliflower.

[Amy] Even though this dish
ain't really healthy,

at least I got shrimp.

Shrimp is protein proving
that shrimp is good for you.

So I am focusing on my weight.

A little bit.

It's me.

Hey, baby.

[Amy] Hey, girl,
what are you doing?

-[Tammy] Chris dropped me off.
-[Amy] Oh.

I needed a break
from the house.

Yeah, I get it.

[Tammy] I'm not sure where
I'm going to live right now,

but what is for sure

is I won't be living
at Amanda's house.

So I gave my notice

and I have to be out
by the end of the month.

In the meantime, I'm doing
whatever the [bleep] I can do

to stay out of that house.

b*tch, what the [bleep]
are you cooking?

I'm making a shrimp Alfredo,

but I'm making it my way.

Oh, God!

Girl, I don't even know.
I just grab [bleep].

There's red onion, garlic.

You know I'm big
on the ranch powder.

There's chamoy.

There's Slap Ya Mama.

There's everything bagel.

There's adobo.

I never follow a recipe.

I can't explain it.
It's just...

It's like my grandma
cooks through me

and just grabs stuff
and just adds it.

'Cause most of the time,

I don't even know
what spice I'm grabbing.

Literally.

[Tammy] Girl!

How much you cooking?

My family,
we love garlic here.

You trying to give
people stomachaches?

Amy's known for making
weird concoctions of food.

[Amy] This is like
a dream come true.

[Tammy speaking]

Now I do got
one secret ingredient.

Hand me that bag right there.

I'm truly freaking scared.

I'm truly disgusted.

You know, I take the normal
and make it weird,

but normal
is vastly overrated.

So why are
you making all this?

Well, you know how
Amanda hurt her knee.

So I'm going to cook it.

The boys need lunch,

and I figured we could
take some over to Amanda's.

I'm taking this Alfredo
over to Amanda,

not just because
she had the knee surgery,

because we had a fight.

And honestly, I just
want to talk to her,

and tell her where
I was coming from.

She got her kids there.
They can help her cook.

As of now,
till further notice,

I don't want [bleep]
to do with Amanda.

[Tammy speaking]

-[baby cooing]
-Oh, God.

I really wish you would,
and I'm going to cry on this.

-Stop crying.
I can't handle it.
-I can help it.

-I never said you couldn't.
-And the cooking... No.

Misty, Amanda, Chris.

They all say I can't cook.
I can't do nothing.

Nobody said you couldn't cook.

We say you cook weird.

"Amy can't do this.

Amy can't do that."
I'm tired of hearing
y'all say that.

-I'm not them.
-I know.

That's what I'm trying
to prove.

Take this to Amanda,
prove to you, "b*tch, look.
I did this."

Okay. Calm down.

I can tell it does bother Amy

how the older siblings
treat her and myself.

And now that she's crying...

I figured, you know,
just do it.

If you throw up, you throw up.

[clattering]

-The white chocolate.
-Let's see, it's...

I told you, though,
white chocolate.

Don't put that nasty [bleep].

It tastes
kind of like Alfredo.

But then, you get the kick
from the sweet white chocolate
and then you get...

It's kind of sweet and savory.

You're taking all your love
and patience

and time and effort
to make this meal for Amanda.

What if he don't even
hear you out?

I'm just tired of fighting
with people.

She don't hear me out,
I'm done.

[chicken clucks]

Can you help me bring in
the rest of this stuff
out of the bedroom?

[Brittany] No.

[Chris] It's like clockwork.

You can stamp it
on the concrete,

put your hand on the Bible.

November 1st, my wife
is decorating for Christmas.

You got more stuff
than a person needs.

No, you can never have
too many Christmas
decorations.

[Chris] This is Brittany's
favorite time of the year.

And if she likes it,
I love it.

Especially, since I have to
talk to her about something

that she's probably
not gonna like too much.

[Brittany] This is all right.

It's about as good
as it's going to get.

Okay. Well, I need a rest.

So, the whole situation
is kind of messy.

With Tammy and Amanda.

Tammy has went ahead
and put her notice in
on Amanda's house,

and there is no
talking her out of it.

She's wanting to get away
from Kentucky.

But until Tammy learns
how to drive

and becomes more
self-sufficient,

that's just not an option.

I recently put in an offer
on the house next door
to fix up as a rental.

And if push comes to shove,
Tammy could move in there.

It is an option...

Until she can find
something better.

If you're okay with it.

Why can't Tammy live with Amy,

since Amy lived with Tammy
when all that was going on?

She says she can't
live with Amy.

She loves her,
but she can't live with her.

Do you think it'll end up
like, she's gonna hate us,
like her and Amanda?

No.

Different mechanics.

That me and Tammy very rarely
argue like Amanda and Amy do.

Because y'all don't live
together.

[Chris] Tammy has lived
with everybody, just about,
in the family at some point.

Starting way back


When she was living with me.

She didn't like things
that was going on in my house.

She moves out and goes on
to live with Amanda.

They got into it.

And Tammy ended up
moving back home with Mom.

Lived there until,

I guess, Tammy and Mom
got into a fight.

Then she moved out
to Dixon with Amy,

and we all know
how that [bleep] ended.

And then, Tammy
moved in next door to Amy,

and that had its own set
of issues altogether.

[Chris continues speaking]

I'm not going to say
she's going to be easy
to live with.

Because we all got
our own little things.

But I won't let her
be homeless.

Just like I wouldn't let
none of your family
be homeless.

Thoughts?

Well, you know...

We always help people.

That's what
we're here for. So...

That's what's got to happen.

And just hope and pray
it's temporary,

more temporary than permanent.

[Chris] Amazingly enough,
Brittany has agreed

to Tammy moving into
the house next door.

So the next step
is to run the idea by Tammy.

And show her the house
and see what she thinks.

Brittany might not
necessarily like

this situation with Tammy.

But she wouldn't let
any of my sisters
be homeless, either.

With that being said,
if Tammy being so close
causes tension,

I'm not gonna lose my wife
over one of my family members.

I'm not gonna do it.

Yeah? So, what's that?

A white chocolate
shrimp Alfredo.

-White chocolate?
-White chocolate. [chuckles]

When she passed
that dish off to me,

I was like, "What the [bleep]
is this [bleep]?"

[Amy] Knock knock.

Come in.

Amy called and said that
she wanted to stop by,

and I'm just hoping
that we're not gearing up

for round two of what happened
last week.

[Amanda] What you got?

I brought you some food
as a peace offering.

-A peace offering?
-Yes.

Yeah? So, what's that?

A white chocolate
shrimp Alfredo.

-White chocolate?
-White chocolate. [chuckles]

Girl, that's heavy. Good God.

[Amy] Don't knock it
till you try it.

[Amanda] When she passed
that dish off to me,

I was like, "What the [bleep]
is this [bleep]?"

It smells good.

Glenn and Gage
ate it for lunch.

Tammy ate it.

[smacking lips]

-That's [bleep] fire.
-[chuckles softly]

[laughs] That is fire.
And I'm not [bleep].

I'm saying this is good, girl.

It reminds me of like a mole.

I don't know
what the [bleep] that is.

It's like a chocolate...

chili sauce.
It's a Mexican food.

[tearfully] You don't know
how much I'm-- I'm sorry.

-This is a good tear.
-Don't cry, girl.

It's good tears because...

[Amanda]
I don't say that, babe.

So, I'm trying to prove
that I can do it,
just like y'all.

I just make it weirder.

Honey, you don't have to
do anything to impress me.

I admire you.
You are my little sister.

To hell with everybody else.

[Amy speaking]

'Cause I worked so hard
on this dish.

To prove myself worthy of,
you know,

being able to cook
like all my other siblings.

I was always the ugly duck.
Well, the ugly duckling.

[chuckles] What?
The black sheep. That's it.

[Amanda] I hear you.
I mean, I understand
where you're coming from.

But I want you to get into
the habit of not worrying

about what anybody damn cares.

I know.

So, what's on your mind
other than that?

How's things going?

Well, the last time
I really seen you,

we got into
that big fight here
about the competition thing.

It wasn't so much
as a competition
as you took it.

It wasn't like who's winning
and who's losing.

Just thinking about
the gym right now
is making me depressed.

Why does that
make you depressed?

I don't know. It's just...

That's time I'm taking away
from my kids,

that's time I'm taking away
from my house

that needs to be cleaned.

That's time I'm taking away
from my mental health

that needs to be-- Aside.

Okay. Let me tell you
something.

Do you think
that you're not worth

maybe an hour and a half
to fix yourself?

Work on yourself physically?

-Because, see--
-Yeah. But there's

the hour and a half
I've got to find a babysitter.

-I've got to find a ride.
I gotta find it.
-Come one.

You need to start
focusing on...

Are you healthy?

If you're healthy, it's gonna
make you feel better.

When you feel
better about yourself,
it's a mental thing.

I was really hoping
that you would be willing
to go to the gym

because I need help
doing some physical therapy.

You and I could
make it a date.

We can go. We can go burn
a few 100 calories

and then we can go
get us a frappe.

-[chuckles]
-Right.

Oh. Well, there's that.

Well, you know,
when you do that, though,

I mean, it might be
pushing out the weight.
I mean...

-Yeah, then probably I--
-They say you either

[bleep] it out
or sweat it out. I mean...

You want me to work out
with you? I will.

But even I know that
we shouldn't be drinking
ice cream after the gym.

Come on, now.

You want to know something?

That day, when everything
blew up here,

I thought you was mad at me
because I told you
to stop yelling in my ear.

And then you kept
going louder, and I was like,

"Amy. Good God."

Because, hell, you can't get
a word in edgewise--

Edgewise. I know.
But then I thought,

"Well, damn,
I didn't yell at her."

It's like, y'all need
to listen to me for once.

I understand
what you're saying, but--

That's why I'm always quiet
at family functions,

because most of the time,
y'all don't let me get
a word in edgewise.

I apologize.

And I promise
to always come to you
with love in my heart.

Not to be ugly,
to chastise you
like a little kid.

Because you're not.
You're a grown a*s woman.

But I'm gonna
tell you this, too.

I am not going to apologize
to Tammy

because all that [bleep]
with me and Tammy,
I'm over it.

If she never speaks
to me again, that's on her.

It's not on me.

[Chris] Now look.
It does need some work.

[Tammy]
We walk into this house
and we see a lawn mower

and some ugly a*s green carpet

that looks like
it's been there since the 70s.

It's an eyesore.

[Chris speaking]

So, it was my idea
to bring Tammy over
to check out the house.

I think it would work out
real good for her
if she likes it.

[chuckles]

That could be a curse
and a blessing.

Well, I was getting ready
to say, I love you.

But, you know,
I still need my time, too.

You know what I'm saying?

I kind of hope
this is an answer
to the living situation,

even though it is temporary.

But I still need
a little assistance,
like, to...

It's gonna take
you know, 30 days at least,

to work on it
and get it liveable.

So, bear with me,
'cause it's not gonna be easy

to deal with me
from day to day.

-Oh, I know.
-'Cause I am gonna be
stressed out working on...

-getting you settled.
-I know.

-Pray for Brittany, too.
-[chuckles]

'Cause she's gonna need it.

[Tammy] I'm gonna pray
for everybody.

[Chris] Good.

I do have some concerns
about Tammy moving
next door to me.

Because my wife
is worried about it
causing serious issues.

[Chris] Now look.
It does need some cleaning.

[Chris]
Couple of days of drywall work
will fix the ceiling.

When I signed the paperwork,

everything that was
left in the house
become my property.

So, I got a free lawn mower
out of it, too.

You can't beat it. [laughs]

Just keep your mind open
this way.

[Tammy] I hope Chris can
finish everything in 30 days,

but I don't know much
about, like, construction.

It's like speaking
Chinese to me

or a different language,
'cause I don't understand.

Here is the kitchen,
with a bar and a cabinet.

And the cool thing is,
this is not too tall,

-because you can reach it.
-Oh, that's badass.

I'm just one of those
really appreciative,
thankful people.

So, I'm just thankful
to have a place offered

that has a roof
and stable foundation.

Is that thing in the kitchen?
On the bar.

Is it just there, or is it
hiding some kind of...

The bar?

What are you talking about?

No. No.

What about that one thing
that's dividing it
where you can't see?

[Chris] But it's set up
to have a little coffee maker
on the backside.

[Brittany] It's set up dumb
where you can't see.

It's an eyesore.

-To you.
-Yeah.

Well, it ain't your house.

Because you ain't living
in here every day.

I mean, I like the layout,
and I think it would be

a suitable place
for me, but...

'Cause they're doing this
in such short time
and trying to hurry up.

Hmm. I think it's going
to take longer than 30 days.

Because you work,
so you're not gonna be able

to work on it
every hour of the day.

For something happens
and it's not ready
in the 30 days,

you can come stay with me for,
you know, the first month
until we get this house ready.

Right now, my husband,
myself and our daughter Emily
and her baby live with us.

So, if Tammy moves in,
then there's gonna be
five people in the house.

I wouldn't blame
Brittany if she...

deep down, didn't really
want me to be here.

'Cause it is gonna
be stressful.

I don't want to be the reason
they have a real big argument.

I don't want that
on my conscience.

What's the matter, Tammy?

And I don't want that.

[tearfully] I love you all.

[Chris]
Tammy starts getting upset

and talking about
she don't want to be a burden.

But let's be honest.

She's put herself
in this situation.

She could have been
the bigger grown up
and talked it out with Amanda.

But she is the most
stubborn person I've ever met.

And we all know,
history has a tendency
to repeat itself.

-Hi!
-Merry Christmas.

[narrator] Next time on


[Amy] Gage was so cute
when he first met Santa.

He goes,
"Santa, Merry Christmas."

[chuckles] I'm like, "Aw!"

I hit it!

[Chris] We are never
going to be approved
for skin removal

if we don't get our a*s
up out of this chair
and start moving.

So, that's why, today,
we're going golfing.

[Tammy giggles]

I can hit it. There you go.

[everyone laughs]

[Chris] As you can see,
it's a work in progress.

Place needs a lot of work.
Are you sure you can do it?

I'm stuck in a rock
and a hard place,

and I don't know
if I can get it done.

I'm just gonna
drop a b*mb on you.

I'm not gonna be here
for Christmas.

And I have my reasons.

Damn good reasons.

[Amy] Tammy and Amanda's
beef is...

That

is bull [bleep].

I think both of them
need to grow the [bleep] up.
