WOMAN: Reverend Franklin,
you give a fine, fine sermon.
213
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:12,654
WOMAN: My favorite passage,
214
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:16,624
"We are a proud race who
need not bow down to any soul."
215
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:19,286
WOMAN: Is she singing to him?
216
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,445

racing, Reverend, for justice.
217

WOMAN: So have you
picked out names yet?
220
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:34,178
BARBARA: If it's a boy
we'll name him Clarence
221
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,757
after the reverend, of course.
222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,010
WOMAN: And if it's a girl?
223
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:40,102
BARBARA: Aretha.
It's a family name.
224
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,765
WOMAN: Oh, beautiful.
225
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,268
MRS FRANKLIN: That was
a good sermon, son.
226
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,111
CL: Thank you, Momma.
227
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:49,566
Where are Erma and Cecil?
228
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,226
MRS FRANKLIN: I couldn't
get them out of the playroom
229
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,284
with Sister Margaret
and their tambourines.
230
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:54,571
CL:
Pleasure to meet you.
231
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:55,661
KING: Likewise.
232
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:56,985
You should be very
proud of your son.
233
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:58,200
FATHER: We are indeed.
234
00:10:58,199 --> 00:10:59,699
BARBARA: I wonder
who that man is.
235
00:10:59,701 --> 00:11:01,541
Got a nice suit on.
236
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:02,866
KING:
We'll be in touch, Reverend.
237
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:04,461
CL: Thank you.
238
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:07,878
BARBARA: Almost feels too
quiet with them both asleep.
239
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:08,956
CL: It's going to
get pretty noisy when the
240
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,460
new one gets here.
241
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:11,751
BARBARA: I can't wait.
242
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:14,134
CL: Me either.
243
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:16,512
What'd you think
about my sermon?
244
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,089
BARBARA: I
particularly liked the
245
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,354
Psalm 62: 5 through 6 passage.
246
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:24,346
"God alone is the mighty
rock that keeps me safe.
247
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:26,350
He is the fortress
where I feel secure."
248
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:30,574
CL: That complemented
my theme of self‐reliance.
249
00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:32,815
BARBARA: Beautifully.
250
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,397
CL: And I appreciate
you choosing that hymn,
251
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:38,703
although in my mind
I think you should have
252
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,368
sung another verse.
253
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:45,661
BARBARA: So, you gonna
tell me who the man in the
254
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:47,673
nice suit was or you
gonna keep me wondering?
255
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:49,575
Is he from the radio station?
256
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:50,794
CL: Uh, no.
257
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:53,003
You are, you are not
going to believe this,
258
00:11:53,004 --> 00:11:55,884
but he was from
Nashville NAACP.
259
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:58,052
BARBARA: Was he lost?
260
00:11:58,051 --> 00:11:59,841
CL: That's what I thought.
261
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:01,854
But two weeks from now
they want me to come down and
262
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:03,596
speak to the leadership council.
263
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:05,638
They think I can be a
voice for our people.
264
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:08,192
BARBARA: Oh, honey,
I'm so proud of you.
265
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:09,810
That's wonderful.
266
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:11,902
CL: Thank you, baby.
267
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:14,608
What's that look for?
268
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:16,859
What's worrying you?
269
00:12:16,861 --> 00:12:19,321
BARBARA: I just, just
wouldn't want the world to
270
00:12:19,322 --> 00:12:21,372
pull you away from us too much.
271
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:22,776
CL: You don't have
to worry about that.
272
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,874
Besides, I told them that
I'm only coming if it's
273
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,750
the two of us.
274
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,417
I told them to find some
accommodations at a very
275
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:32,206
lovely establishment nearby.
276
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:35,260
BARBARA: What would
I do in Nashville?
277
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:38,465
CL: We are a team.
278
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:43,304
A wife of noble character she's
worth far more than rubies,
279
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:48,944
but good things
are coming for us, Barbara.
280
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:52,064
That too.

00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,825

not Jet or Ebony so they're
284
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,459
not going to be asking
softball questions.
285
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,535
Time Magazine is going to
ask what they want to ask.

TED: Not to worry, Ruth,

00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:16,171
Look, baby, you deserve it.
289
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:18,340
You got more top ten hits

Aretha Franklin?

I knew we shouldn't
have trusted him.

ARETHA: We didn't trust him.
523
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:40,725
We didn't trust him.
524
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,954
Uh, we were careful
about the way we spoke,
525
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:44,815
what we said, how we acted.
526
00:22:44,822 --> 00:22:46,372

he know all this shit?
529
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:52,452
Did, did, did you speak
to him by yourself?
530
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:55,291
TED: He called me, yeah.

00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:57,751
He called everybody.
You know that.

you tell him, Ted?
533
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,342
TED: Nothing.
534
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:09,810
I told him the Queen's
favorite takeout,
535
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:11,345
the Queen's favorite shows.
536
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,308
He acted like I was a gopher
talking to me about that crap.
537
00:23:13,309 --> 00:23:14,809
ARETHA: Did you tell him
about our personal life?

TED: Why would I
tell him that, huh?
539
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,359
I got your back, baby.
You know that.

the question, Ted.
541
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:23,738
What did you tell him?

TED: I made nice like
you told me to do.

friendly and you fell for it?

00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:30,238
TED: I fell for it.
545
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:32,372
You fell for it.
We all fell for it.

You was pregnant

Your Momma left you and
probably died of heartbreak
550

That's not your face

They're the voice of the

they used him to quell our
legitimate discontent just
600

It's not that
important, sorry.

join me for some tea?
656

MRS JENNINGS: No, ma'am,
I won't be taking up no

00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,372
you stopped by.

a second crib here with CL's
668
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:41,527
name on it?
669
00:29:41,530 --> 00:29:43,160
This is the crib we ordered.
670
00:29:43,156 --> 00:29:45,696
PAM: Oh, I'm sure
it's just a mistake.
671
00:29:45,701 --> 00:29:46,951
You know how Walker is.
672
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,792
He insists on being in
charge of everything.
673
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:52,247
BARBARA: But why would CL
be buying another crib?
674
00:29:52,249 --> 00:29:54,839
PAM: I'm sure Walker
put CL's name on the other
675
00:29:54,835 --> 00:29:57,875
tag by mistake.
676
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,505
BARBARA: It could happen.
677
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,970
Walker's a good husband.
678
00:30:03,969 --> 00:30:05,799
PAM: And CL's a
good husband too.
679

keeping busy with my hands.
682
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:17,939
I made two baby blankets.
683
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:21,241
That would be a shame
for one to go to waste.
684
00:30:21,236 --> 00:30:24,106
Who else is expecting
around my same time?
685

PAM: Well, you know everyone
passes through the store here.
686
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:30,749
If you'd like to
bring the blanket in,
687
00:30:30,746 --> 00:30:32,746
I can make sure it
gets to a deserving...
688
00:30:32,748 --> 00:30:38,088
BARBARA: But it would mean
so much more I'm sure if I
689
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:40,626
delivered it in person.
690
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,636

I haven't seen them in a bit,

CECIL: Hey, Ruth, my dad
wants to talk to Aretha.

He got into a huge mess
with those RNA folks he had

Aretha meet in Detroit.
714
00:32:12,681 --> 00:32:14,391

ARETHA:
Wait until he hears it.
731
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:48,470
He's going to want me to
record a whole album of covers.

KING CURTIS: Ted not
showing up today?

ARETHA: I wanted some space,
so I put my foot down.
734
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,555
He said he always has my back,
735

of things and he lies.

Maybe this Time Magazine
thing was for the best.

outshines anything
he's ever seen.

00:33:22,209 --> 00:33:27,089
You think you need him, but
he knows deep inside you don't
746
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:29,588
cause your voice and the
way you put all that music

I'll take that.

00:40:25,006 --> 00:40:27,426
I am a wretched man.
866
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,925
Don't let my stain be on
her garment and don't let my
867
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:32,718
wrongs cast a shadow
over her beauty.
868
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,771
Forgive me, Lord.
869
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,899
Move her.
870
00:40:40,897 --> 00:40:45,567
Just, just move her so
that she can forgive me for
871
00:40:45,568 --> 00:40:48,318
I am a wretched man.
872
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:54,580
BARBARA: I forgive you.
873
00:40:56,496 --> 00:40:59,866
CL: I am a wretched man.
874
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:05,338
BARBARA: I forgive you.
875
00:41:07,674 --> 00:41:11,014
CL: A wife of noble character
876
00:41:12,512 --> 00:41:16,392
she is worth far
more than rubies.
877
00:41:18,893 --> 00:41:20,653
I'm so sorry.
878
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:30,237
(overlapping chatter)
879
00:41:38,287 --> 00:41:41,077
ARETHA: Here's the keys to
a room upstairs in this hotel.
880
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:48,666
TED: I was hoping
that's why you invited me
to this restaurant...
881
00:41:48,673 --> 00:41:50,723
ARETHA: Oh, please,
it's not for us. It's for you.
882
00:41:50,717 --> 00:41:53,927
I packed your stuff.
It's upstairs.
883
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:56,426
TED: This is a joke.
884
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:58,021
ARETHA: It's not a joke, Ted.
885
00:41:58,016 --> 00:41:59,806
I'm done. We're through.
886
00:41:59,809 --> 00:42:01,349
TED: Look, we've been
through a lot.
887
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,312
We always figure it out.
888
00:42:02,311 --> 00:42:03,441
ARETHA: Not this time.
889
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:04,518
TED: I'm going to
get my act together.
890
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:05,942
Go on a family trip.
Take the boys.
891
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:07,400
ARETHA: You're always
going to be their Daddy, but.
892
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,110
TED: Of course, I'm going
to be the damn boys' Daddy.
893
00:42:08,109 --> 00:42:09,739
AREHA: We are through!
894
00:42:09,736 --> 00:42:10,646
TED: What you want
me to apologize or
something like that?!
895
00:42:10,653 --> 00:42:12,413
You don't want a man, do you?!
896
00:42:12,405 --> 00:42:14,275
You want somebody to
tote you and to carry and
897
00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:17,292
put up with your family shit
and cheer you on while you
898
00:42:17,285 --> 00:42:18,785
in the studio.
899
00:42:18,786 --> 00:42:20,706
ARETHA: There's a lot of things
I need but I don't need you.
900
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:22,115
TED: This is not
happening, not now.
901
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:23,673
ARETHA: You have one choice.
902
00:42:23,666 --> 00:42:26,536
You can leave or I can.
903
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:35,258
TED: You need me, Re.
904
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:37,221
