It said, "You do unto your parents...

and it's gonna do it unto you."

Tell me it didn't say it. - Curtis--

- Tell me it didn't say it. - It didn't say it.

Baby, you've got to read the Bible

before you can quote the Bible.

And that's not even a quote.

- Baby, I be trying to read it, but it put me to sleep.

- Aunt Ella, can you please take him so we can talk?

- God is so good. - Yes, He is, now.

This about to be good. - We stand with you.

- What? - What?

- You do? - Yes.

- This some bullshit right here. - Curtis!

Now, you know what? You have gone way too far, now.

this is what it is and we should stay calm.

- Wait, what?

- Right, what?

- So am I. - Hold up.

Why y'all disappointed? This, like, natural stuff.

Don't try [unintelligible].
