Oh, here I am. Oh, as they say on ESPN, nothing but the bottom of the neck.

And you got dogs.

I got necks.

What's up, J .W.? What's up, J .W.? What's up, J .W.? Oh, hey,

Tyreek Scott.

This is James Henry. Hey, man, how you doing? He runs the mentoring program I

work with, but I run him on the court.

I don't think you're running this your mile.

Hey,

guys. Hey, what's up? What's up, Tia? Hey, I've seen the Paul Robeson Film

Festival posters all over campus.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess I'll see you at the film festival. Yeah, yeah.

Unless,

Tia, unless you want to go together?

No, thanks.

We both have to go, right?

So we might as well go together.

I mean, unless you don't want to. No, no, no, no. Why wouldn't I want to? I

mean, we're...

Still friends, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. And you know friends where they...

hang?

Yes.

Let me guess.

You gave him your all.

In fact, you treated him like a Nubian prince.

And just when you thought your vibe was getting strong, he checked the first

college. Honey, they gave him a little rhythm.

Now he wants forgiveness.

And the only thing you got to give him is your friendship.

Right?

You know what? Actually, she broke up with me. Yeah, that's amazing.

Oh.

Huh? What? My game? Sorry, doll.

I gotta feel a thrill for me like you got to do what's right for you.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

It's $7 .20. No, no, make that $7 .45. I need to stop by and pick up those giant

scissors.

Ray Campbell, how do you slither into bed and sleep at night?

Lisa, see this?

This is a telephone.

And I'm on it!

So I'll get back to you a little later, okay?

I can't believe that you voted not to give the choir money for new roles.

It's called being fiscally conservative.

being cheap, Ray.

Lisa, you should understand you're a businesswoman.

Yeah, you're right. I am a businesswoman.

Victory Bible Full Gospel Baptist Church will be wearing new robes for the choir

fest courtesy of Lisa Landry, Inc.

Great. Just think, if the board had given the funds for those robes, you

have missed the opportunity to give back to the church.

And I also would have missed... The opportunity to do this.

My baby got hot.

Do you know that woman acting

like she don't get out much? Yeah, that's my girlfriend.

She thinks I like her, Sharon, but I don't have the heart to tell her I

Sit down now, okay?

Samara, you really need to calm down.

You really need to quit trying to act all cool.

Like, you can get all dressed up for Tyreek.

Oh, please.

This outfit is so old.

Then how come this tag looks so new?

Oh, school's out.

What's up? Come on.

Stop my man. Stop my man.

You need to save that bus for fire rehearsal. We have to go.

Okay, well, I need to talk. to Jordan first.

Well, we'll just wait in the car. I don't want Tyreek to think I'm just

around for him, you know. No, no, that's right.

See, you don't want to think I'm desperate.

Excuse me.

Aren't you in my calculus class?

No, I'm still in high school.

Oh.

Nice game, baby.

Michael Jordan's lucky you're not 11 inches taller.

James, This is my girlfriend, Samara. Hey, hey, how you doing? Hello, James.

Nice to meet you. You know what?

Jordan was wrong.

You do got gay.

Don't I, though?

Hey,

um, so, you want to come to church with me tomorrow morning?

Uh... It's Gobbler Sunday.

Huh?

Sorry, but I promised my pops I'd go to his church.

Okay. Well, maybe next Sunday.

Yeah, maybe.

All right. Bye, baby.

Bye.

Why is it that women always want you to do what they want you to do? Because

they're women.

Like when they have a plan and they front like their plan was your plan.

But really, you just got sucked into their plan. Then if you make up your own

plan instead of going along with their plan, they say you're not down with the

plan.

Keep telling me she's taking you to the Paul Robinson Film Festival because

you're friends, right? And then she starts tripping on a whole other thing.

Bye -bye.

Unless y 'all got a minute.

and that big chicken goes right in there. Come on in. Yeah, there's plenty

Plenty room for everybody.

What in God's name is going on?

Oh, well, you got that name right.

We are doing God's work. We're making the choir robes right here.

But, hey, what are you doing?

I thought you were going to donate the money and have the robes made.

Well, these fine ladies insisted on helping me cut the cost by making the

themselves.

going to ask me what i thought about having my living room turned into a holy

sweatshop i only ask questions when i care about the answers

Lisa.

Hush. Lisa.

Somebody's calling my name.

Somebody's trying to work.

Hush, Ray.

Look, I need those campaign mailers. Have you seen them? I got to get them

stuffed and sent out.

That's not the only thing that needs to get stuffed and sent out.

Well, I just talked to your dad, and he said that he was out of town, so you

couldn't have gone to church with him.

Are you checking up on me now?

No, I was just wondering where you were.

Oh, watching the game.

And that's more important than going to church with me?

Look, Tamara, this has nothing to do with you. I just don't go to church.

because I don't want to be around a bunch of hypocrites acting holy on

and acting a fool Monday through Saturday.

I go to church.

Am I a hypocrite?

Look, Tamara, I don't want to make a big thing out of this, okay? Well, neither

do I, Jordan, but look, I've got to be real here.

I don't know how far this relationship is going to go if we can't even talk

about something as important as this. And I don't know how far it's going to

if you don't get off my back.

Why are you acting like this?

Look, Tamara, I'm not acting like anything.

This is how I am.

I don't have anything else to say.

Hi, Tom.

Come on, Jordan. That's your real name, right? Jordan. Well, check this out,

Jordan.

You all right, Jay?

Yeah, just got a lot on my mind, that's all.

You want to talk about it?

While I have one good knee left.

My bad, man. I'm sorry.

Thanks, man.

First, the hip check.

Followed by a heavy sock.

Let me guess.

First year in college.

Got a full loan.

Two papers due in one class. Two far behind in the other.

Actually, it's about my girlfriend.

That was my next guess.

Man, she twerped me about going to church. And she wants to talk about why

don't want to go. But what is there to talk about? I said I don't want to go.

Well, just tell her why you don't want to go. I did. I told her I'm not

for all those hypocrites.

Do I look like a hypocrite?

That's exactly what she said.

Now, man, I'm serious.

Do I look like a hypocrite?

Oh, no.

Don't tell me you're one of those church people, too.

Come on, man, there's no such thing as church people, Jordan.

Look at big head Mike over there.

He look like church people.

He's in my choir.

So is Talbot and his girlfriend.

Even some of the kids were meant to done at the high school. Wait, wait, wait.

Did you just say your choir?

Yeah.

I'm the young adult choir director at Church of the Harvest.

Well, how come you never mentioned this before?

Because I've heard our badger say it.

Besides, sometimes it's better to show somebody the spirit.

Now talk about it.

You ought to come to the choir fest if you really want to sit still down.

Oh, no, no, no. It's going to take a lot more than music to get me to go to

church. What you need to do is face the music and talk to your girl.

Yeah, well, I'll think about that after I drain this three -pointer in your

face.

You couldn't drain a bathtub with that shot, brother.

You speak to Mary Jordan?

Uh, no, no.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

You think we should call? No.

No, they're probably on their way.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

You know what?

This is Ginger.

Uh, Ginger, this is my... Tia.

Hi, my Tia.

No, no, no.

Just Tia.

Nice to meet you. You too.

So, you going to the gym tomorrow?

Yeah. Cool. Yeah, yeah.

I'll see you on the bus. Okay, all right.

I don't even want to know.

You can go say whatever you want.

It's probably going to take a few minutes.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Checking those poles and... Good afternoon, ladies.

Ray.

Why don't you guys give me a moment?

Maybe make yourself at home and have a stand.

What's that on me? Are you in the kitchen, please?

Cut to the chase, Ray. I got robes to stitch.

Listen, I have work that I have to do.

Where am I supposed to meet with my campaign worker? In my bedroom?

No, we cutting collars in there.

Listen, I want those women and those robes out of my house.

Oh, way, we doing the best we can.

Even the Lord took seven days.

Now, you cannot rush God's work.

But you can hurry it along.

It should be enough to get some professional manufacturers and do the

their... Oh, Ray, that job will be done in two hours.

I'll take that check back. Uh -uh.

It's the Lord's money.

Make a nice little donation for the scholarship fund.

You're lucky that God isn't the only thing I fear.

I checked it ten minutes ago. Jordan may have called since then.

Hey, Dee, can I use your cell when you're finished?

Oh, girl, I'm fronting. They cut me off two months ago.

Anybody want something to drink?

No.

I'm gonna go check my voicemail.

Excuse me.

What's up, Tia?

Um, last night was all right, huh? Oh, yeah, yeah.

We got to hang out again, you know?

What about Tuesday?

No, that's bad. That's bad. Um, is Thursday good?

Worst.

Next weekend?

It's even worse.

Well, why don't we just hang out when we can?

I guess things have changed, huh?

Yeah, yeah, I guess they have.

It's okay. Oh, wait. I had to leave. Yeah, yeah.

Well, I'm gonna... I'll see you later. Okay.

Bye.

Hey, Tamara.

Hey.

Can you sit down with me?

I need to talk to you.

Look, when I was little, my mother made us go to church every Sunday.

We were the first ones there when the doors opened and the last ones to leave.

She was always telling us how important it was to serve the Lord.

Then one day while we were walking the walk, she ran out for one of the

I never saw her again.

I'm so sorry.

I said to myself, if this is what church is about, I'm never going back.

And there haven't been since.

Jordan, you can't blame church for what your mom did.

So if she ran away with the teacher, you wouldn't go to school again?

You see, this is why I did not tell you. I knew you wouldn't understand.

I'm trying to understand, Jordan. Well, then let me help you.

Think of all the neighborhood gossip my family had to pretend we didn't hear.

Or how embarrassing it was to go to that church Sunday after Sunday.

Come here.

I want to forgive her, but I can't.

Well.

I'll pray that you do.

Let's all thank Lisa Landry and the Victory Bible Church again for hosting

year's Choir Fest.

This is the part of the program where we have a little something special for

you. Right now we're going to put together different members from each

remind you that it doesn't matter what church you worship as long as you

somewhere.

I feel you right now, what you say?

Come on, come on, come on. I wonder if I can get a witness up in here. Can I get

a witness up in here?

Can I get a witness up in here?

I feel a revolution coming on.

Come on, we're going to do a new thing up in here. Come on.

One, two, three. Come on.

Say, do you want a revolution?

Say, do you want a revolution?

Come on.

Revolution. Say, do you want a revolution?

Listen.

That's right.

To every man.

Take care of them,

baby.

Come on. Come on.

Don't want racism.

Two faces.

Pollution. That's illusion.

Come on. Come on.

Put your hands together.

Put your hands together.

Say, do you want a revolution?

Say. Say do you want a revolution?

Say do you want a revolution?

Say

do

you want a revolution?

Do you want a revolution?

Say, do you want a revolution?

Come on.

What you say? What you say?

Lift your hands up. Lift them up. Come on. Do you want a revolution?

Listen straight.

Come on. Tell us. Tell us. What you feel and what you won't shine. Who you call

it? Two sides.

You know Jesus is the two sides.

The second and the trinity. I know you're feeling him.

You're feeling him. A trumpet sound. It's got quacks to last. The first, the

first, the last. It won't pass.

So don't be false living, brother. Cause when I came, brother.

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. They say we move too much. We do too much.

But if your stomach gets tough, you lose too much. Ain't no stopping what we

doing when the spirit is moving.

Don't be mad at me.

Everywhere I be, they try to shake me.

But they can't break me.

Don't challenge new nations.
