When your soul is thirsty,
you will drink from any cup.

It don't matter if piss
or poison is on the rim.

I learned quickly that
what you think is good to you

ain't always good for you.

You know, a lot like
sex on the beach--

it's fun,
but you get sand in your ass

and two sets of crabs.

What you want
ain't always what you need,

and what you need
is an ass whupping

from a buck-toothed,
ashy bitch named Reality.

* *

* Yes, Lord,
for the rest of my days *

* And we will praise you
for the rest of our days *

* Yes *

* *

* Yes, Lord,
for the rest of our days *

* And we will praise you
for the rest of our days *

* Yes *

* *

* Yes, Lord,
for the rest of our days *

* And we will praise you
for the rest of our days *

God wants y'all
to end this song quicker.

Thought I'll be standing
for the rest of my day.

Can y'all at least act
like Christians

for once in your life?

We acting like
we want to be here.

Hey, Denise,
I thought you were going

to that white church
with Elizabeth.

You know,
I like white churches.

Because when you're
the only Black person there,

they will put your face
on the website.

I guess Elizabeth
gave up on God.

She did the opposite
of finding Jesus.

And I just got tired
of the pews

being the only brown thing
I saw.

- What y'all think?
- You going to hell.

As long as
I'm happy getting there.

- I'm ready to go home.
- Me too.

These people don't know
if they want to stand or sit.

Please, let us stand
for a word of prayer.

Nigga, no.

Janelle, close your eyes.

Well,
who's gonna watch my purse?

Can you all please
be more like Denise?

God damn,
that pastor's so fine,

he make me want
to baptize him in my waters.

Don't be like Denise.

Hey, Janelle, check me out.

Is this too much titty
for the temple?

You said you wanted this
to be a family outing.

We ain't come down
to church to hear you

sit there
talking about titties.

Jesus was breastfed, Terry.

That pastor
ain't checking for you.

What would you know?

I bet you ain't had a clergyman
look at you with lust

in his eyes in 25 years.

Mm-hmm.

Me and the twins gonna bring
the good reverend home

with us tonight.

And in this we pray, amen.

Amen!
Amen, Pastor!

* Come on, it's time to go *

* It's "The Ms. Pat Show" *

Is everyone's still gone?

I don't want my mama
to see me.

No one's here yet.

I am so happy
I started watching Urban TV.

Ooh, what's "Martin"?

- Is he asleep?
- Yeah.

"Love Sosa"
is this generation's

"Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star."

Knocks him right out.

Hey, I wanted to talk to you
about something.

OK.

That sounds very adult.

All righty.

I think the baby's father
should be contributing more.

Financially, emotionally.

Helping to babysit
so I don't get killed

- by my mama-ly?
- Exactly.

Do you mind
if I go talk to him?

You can't send a text?

I mean, I can,
but it kind of seems like

more of an in-person convo.

OK, well, only because
I know you still don't have

feelings for this guy.
Right?

Have I ever given you
a reason not to trust me?

I mean--

Well, not since
I've been free from my dad.

You're right.
You're right. Fine.

This will help take
the load off us a bit.

I want to carve out time
to focus

on our relationship more.

So while
he's knocked out,

think you can watch him for me?

Well, you'll be back
before my parents

get home from church, right?

We got to be out of here
by noon.

I can't believe you're still
kicked out of the house.

You don't see
I'm still dressed

like a Victoria's Secret bag?

It's cute, though, Juney.

On you.

And plus, my mom would kill me

if she found out I was
sneaking back in here

to steal food
and clean my drawers.

I promise,
I'll be right back.

Bye, my love.

All right, we'll be here.

You trust your mama, right?

Don't call her that.

I want to thank y'all
for inviting me

to your lovely home
to break bread.

This is the closest thing
I've felt to family

since my wife's transition.

- Transition?
- Yeah.

Like, she your husband now?

No, transition as in
she's passed on.

Oh. Oh.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

- No, she not.
- Yes, I am.

I know how hard death can be.

I mean,
we've lost our mom recently.

But just know that if you need
a shoulder or bosom to cry on,

I, they, us, we all here.

I'm sorry to hear
about that, Pastor.

- How long has it been?
- Two months.

Damn. Sorry.

It's quite all right.

We were on Tom Joyner's cruise
heading to Cabo.

- Oh.
- What happened?

Did she
"Cha Cha Slide" overboard?

- Actually, yeah.
- Oh.

They were never able
to recover the body,

so I haven't had much closure.

What are you gonna do
with that extra casket money?

That's crazy.

I mean, one minute
you're Doin' Da Butt

on the dance floor
with your girl,

and then the next
she's shark-cuterie.

Get it? Shark--
because she fell on the ocean.

Shut up.

Pastor Jenkins,
would you like anything else?

Yeah, come on, Pastor.
Some dessert?

How about you let me
whip you up something?

No, that wonderful meal
was quite enough.

Well, then,
how about we go upstairs

and have a little praise
and worship?

Denise, stop acting
like an asshole.

Come on, Pastor.

She ain't bothering me none.

I got to keep it real
with you, Pastor.

I hate church.

Oh.

Say it ain't so.

The way you look,
I was gonna give you

the lead solo next week.

All fat bitches can't sing.

And you would have
been embarrassed.

She would have started singing
"My Neck, My Back."

You know, I get why
it help people and stuff,

but ever since y'all
stopped them

Friday fish fries,
honey, y'all lost me.

Pat, didn't you just hear
this man say his wife

was turned into bait
and you sitting over there

talking about fish fries?

We used to do that
at my old church.

Maybe I'll bring it back
just for you.

And if not, you know,
I make some mean ramen noodles.

Ramen noodle revival.

Oh.

As long as the flavor
and the packet is beef.

Seriously, Pastor,
I got to say

I was impressed with you not
taking up collection plates.

You know,
it's been financially tough

on all my parishioners lately,
so I don't like

to take up offerings
like others, you know?

If the members have it to give,
then they'll give.

If they don't, that's fine too.

I don't like rubbing
their struggles

up in their face
passing around a hat.

How do you all pay the bills?

Ooh, through
fasting and praying.

That's what
I'ma pay y'all for rent.

You gonna get
the fuck out of here fast.

Look, God brings us through.
He's a waymaker.

You know, I used to be
a broke grill mechanic

back in the day,
but the feeling

of avoiding church
because I didn't have

enough money to give, you know,
that was a real fear.

- Hmm.
- I love how you think.

You just think how you think.

You think of
such wonderful thoughts.

You said
you used to fix grills?

Well, maybe you can
help me figure out

what's going on
with this one in the back

- that I got before you go.
- Oh, for sure.

Let me see if I still know
what I'm talking about.

Ha! Sho' nuff.
Come on, Pastor.

Oh, well, you know,
don't keep him away too long,

'cause I'm gonna miss him
so much.

Bye, baby.

Wow, subtle, Auntie.

Have you, once in your life,

ever heard the phrase,
"Play it cool?"

No the fuck I have not.

- Oh.
- Is this it right here?

Yeah, yeah,
that's it right there, man.

- Oh, this is nice.
- Hey, man, I--

I know you already got
a good support system,

but if you need a real brother
to talk to, I'm here.

You know, I can't imagine
what you've been going through

since your wife died.

Man, I ain't even gonna lie,
it's been tough.

All I do is take it day by day.
You know, life is like a rose.

There's thorns
and there's petals.

There's thorns and there's petals.
Sometimes you got to feel the thorns

Sometimes you got
to feel the thorns

so you can truly appreciate
the petals.

Ah, hm.
I can understand that.

Still, two months is wild.

You know, if I lost Pat,
I'd still be a wreck, man.

Listen, man,
I just try to stay focused

on all the blessings
I still have.

- Yeah? Like what?
- Plenty.

Like, I woke up this morning.
There's one.

Another one is all these women

coming after me
all of a sudden.

What's that saying?

When one door closes,
ten more open up wide.

All these women like--

you mean like my sister-in-law?

She's not open.

Is she open?

Because trust me,
I've seen opener.

Too open.

Wide open.

I'm just messing with you,
Tito.

Oh.
That's a good one.

Hey, hey, hey,
I wasn't always a man of God.

Yeah.
The devil is a liar.

- Hey, I'm serious.
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Listen,
I want to thank you all

again so much
for your hospitality

in the midst of my grief.

You all have been
a beautiful light.

Oh, well, I'm glad we could
do that for you, Pastor.

I know it was weird getting
an invite from a new member.

Well, you know, life is
about taking risks, you know?

And risk is just the price
you pay for opportunity.

Amen.

And I'd like
to take this opportunity

to ask you out for coffee.

Oh.
Well, I mean, I would love to.

I'll be in touch soon.

Hallelujah, Jesus.

God, please cover this man

as he travels the highways
byways and triways

of these streets
until we meet again

for our mocha choco-latte

itchy gitchy
ya-ya Frappucino!

Amen.

You are truly anointed.

I felt that thing.

Whoo!

Y'all see that man
kiss my hand?

It's giving Disney beauty
and the bitch up in here.

And you're the bitch.

Denise,
the man's wife just died.

And now he's asking you
out for coffee?

Now, if something happened
to Pat, boy, I'd be grieving--

Forever, nigga.

Ever.

Terry, you have known
that man for two seconds

and you're already judging him.
That ain't very Christ-like.

Oh really,
Ms. Baptize-me-in-his-waters?

We've known him two seconds.

You don't know him
no more than I do.

Remember that.

But my spirit had told me

that we was married
in a past life,

during slavery.

Fine, I'll let it go.

Please do.

Because I done caught me
a man of God!

I'm telling you,
something ain't right

about him.

Look, Terry,
I know how hard it is

to trust a nigga
with no facial hair.

But beyond that,
he looked like a good man.

Shut up, you cute bastard.

What is he doing here?

What are you doing here, boy?

Who are you
talking to, Terry?

Very mature, Mom.

What was that noise?

Sound like
an ungrateful asshole to me.

Sound like a bug.

Junebug,

she's just saying
that you can't slip

back up into this house
as if nothing happened, OK?

Now, we ain't gonna put you
out in the street.

The hell we ain't.

But you need to address
your issues with your mother.

Dad, there's nothing
to address, OK?

She's mad because I'm right.

Ow.

Damn, I missed.

Look, I'm gonna leave, OK?

I'm just here to watch
the baby while Alison is out.

Fine.

If you need help, you know--

Don't come in this house
asking nobody for no help.

You hear me, boy?

Certainly not your mama,
all right?

Now, you made this
your responsibility, huh?

Now you handle it.

Where'd Alison go?

She went to go talk
to her sperm donor.

The father of the baby?

- Yeah, that.
- Junebug.

What?

What do you think
the two of them

are doing out there right now?

Fucking!

No, they not.

Good night, son.

Oh, man, I slept great.

Whew.
How about you?

Oh. Where's the baby?
Where's the baby?

Dang, she ain't back yet?

I can't believe she left me
here all night with the baby.

Well,
did you try her location?

Yeah.

She's been in the same spot
since she left.

Oh.

That means you about to have
a little brother.

You about to be
a step-stepdaddy.

That baby ain't real.

That's a real baby.
That's a real baby.

Mm.

You wore all that
for some coffee?

One woman's coffee date

is another woman's
engagement planning.

Well, I just don't know
what you see in that guy.

I'd like to see
that guy in me.

Inside thoughts, please.

Um, look, Denise,
I know you grown

and you make
your own decisions,

but have you discussed
some of this stuff with AA?

What stuff?

Why they need to know
my rodeo ride wish list?

'Cause it look like
you're trading one addiction

- for another, sis.
- Excuse me?

And not only that,
it don't seem right to be

doing it with this guy.

He ain't the right guy
to be leaning on.

Are you trying to say
that I'm addicted to dating?

I'm saying
that you are addicted

to that kind of sexual energy
and attention.

Well, it's better
than the other shit.

I mean, why can't you
let me have something?

I spend most of my time
pouring into everybody else--

Pat, the kids, you.

Just feels good
to have somebody

pour into me for a change.

Now, if you will excuse me,

I have a client
to get ready for.

And you better drop this
and get yourself right

- for Wednesday's revival.
- All right, all right.

I'm gonna go on and let it go.

Janelle, you know how to
stalk people on the internet?

Dad, is a pig's booty bacon?
Who we stalking?

OK, good, good, good.

Google Pastor Jenkins
for me real quick.

Pastor Jenkins.

There's a lot
of Pastor Jenkins.

All right,
Google Pastor Robert Jenkins

that go to the Rock Missionary
Fellowship

Episcopalian Indiana
Fellowship Church.

Dead wife.

Dead wife.

Only the church comes up.

He ain't got no social media?

Nope, nothing.

Man.

I just-- I just feel real bad
for Denise, you know.

You know what?
I'm tripping, man.

- Yeah, tripping.
- I'ma go and just let it go.

- Chill.
- Yeah. Yeah.

What you wanna watch?

Can one of you
just watch him for a minute?

- I gotta go cut the grass.
- Hey, girl, how you doing?

- Yeah, yesterday.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, hell no.

Mm, thank you
for fitting me in, girl.

When I saw your hair
at church, I was like,

"She gots to do mine."

I know you're gonna have me

looking like Nia Long
in the '90s.

Well, I'm working
with Bishop Eddie Long

from the 2000s,
but I'll see what I can do.

So, I don't mean
to get in your business--

Oh, girl, please.
Yes, you do.

That's why you asking.

Well, I saw you
and Pastor Jenkins

in that little coffee shop
by the church.

Seemed like y'all
got a little thing.

Ah, well,
that thing ain't little.

Ooh.
So y'all together, 'gether?

Yes, we together 'gether.

I mean, he's just
so wonderful, you know?

Wonderful.

What's happening, brother.

Hey, what's happening?

I don't mean to get
in anybody's business--

Oh, please.

Just come on out with it.

Well, word on the street is
that your little boo thing

doesn't believe in divorce.

So when he wants
to get rid of them, he just--

He just what?

- He just, you know.
- He what?

Girl, he--

He...

bam.

Stop lying.

I ain't lying.

If I was you, I'd...

* Walk away *

Nuh-uh, see now,
what you're not gonna do

is lie on my man of God
like that.

Oh, and what you're
not gonna do is

tell me what I'm gonna
and not gonna do, cuh.

Yeah, you know what?

Walk away from this chair
'fore you catch these hands.

Oh, you can end up
six feet under

over a 9-inch wonder
if you want to,

but don't say
I didn't warn you, Denise.

Get out of my house
before you be singing

at your own funeral, choir boy.

Choir kweeng!

So you really
ain't gonna finish my hair?

The rent is due.
Come sit down.

Baby?

What, Terry?

I need you to help me
to protect Denise.

Protect Denise?
From what?

Wait a minute,
them people still after her

for that PPP loan?

Well, she's not listening
to nothing

that I got to say
when it comes to that preacher.

Let that shit go.

Stop trying to dig up stuff
on that man.

Well, Denise was doing

the choir director's
hair today,

and he said that Pastor Jenkins
don't believe in divorce,

so when he wants
to get rid of his wives,

he just...

He what?

What?

- Click, click, boom.
- Stop lying.

I ain't lying.

So wait a minute,

so you just Terry
with the tea today, huh?

So you trying to tell me that
man pushed his wife off a boat

while Gladys Knight
was singing "Love Overboard"?

Hey, that's what
the choir director says.

So we believing
choir directors now?

They always stirring up shit.

No, I really do believe
that there is something bad

going on with this guy.

I'm worried about Denise, Pat.

We need to expose him.

Expose him?

I don't like nobody
playing with God.

Denise said that she's going
back to that revival service

on Wednesday.
Let's go.

He must be a hell
of a con man.

He got me to go
to church twice in one year.

And you know I don't be
fuckin' with no church--

I mean, I don't be going
to no church.

Alison, I need you to get
here as fast as you can, OK?

The baby has heart disease,
rheumatoid arthritis

in his right ear, gout,

and a little
erectile dysfunction.

Oh my God, Junebug,
you look so tired.

You sure you don't need me
to miss church to help you out?

Oh, no, no, no, no, Janelle,
you go ahead.

- I'll stay back.
- Oh, no, no, no, it's fine.

I'll stay.
You go.

No, no, no,
you need God more.

Both of y'all heathens going

to that revival service
tonight.

You know, it is hard
being a first lady,

but somebody has got to do it.

Where is you going looking
like Big Bird on food stamps?

Ca-caw, ca-caw, bitch.
Let's go.

Thank you all
so much for coming.

We thank y'all.

Today, I'd like to talk
about the life of love.

Mm, talk about it,
'cause that's what we in.

I got something to say.

Is there a problem?

Because it is not time
for the benediction.

I like my eggs scrambled.

Pat, what are y'all doing?

Listen, we have
some very disturbing

information about your pastor.

It was said
that he was a murderer.

What?

A lying murderer
from the stinkhole of hell.

In fact,
a certain someone said

that his recently deceased wife
was murdered by his hands.

And his two wives before him.

Somebody said that you
killed two bitches on a cruise.

If that someone
could help us confirm.

Who said that?

Are you done yet?

Yeah, I'm done.
And so are you.

You see, I know
who spread that rumor,

because he's my own brother.

My brother is upset
'cause Daddy left me

the church
'cause he said his weaves

were distracting the spirit!

Isn't that right, Chauncey?

My bundles
usher in the spirit.

Church, y'all know
that I've only been married

one time to my darling Regina.

So there are no other wives.

As of yet, y'all.

Second, when you allow
my brother's lies and gossip

to negate all of the times
I married you

in your brightest hour
and sat and prayed with you

in your darkest hour,
we will allow it.

Now, I can understand
if it was someone credible,

but my brother Chauncey's
lies are unfounded

and unsubstantiated
and should not keep

a faithful shepherd
from his flock.

What say you,
o ye children of God?

Amen. Amen.

Amen, baby.

Amen.

Now apologize to this man
and stop embarrassing us

as a first family.

I'd like to apologize
to you, Pastor Jenkins

because I knew
you was a good man,

and I don't like many people.

That serpent Terry
got in my ear led me astray

like Eve in the Olive Garden.

Pastor Jenkins, I apologize.

I misjudged you.

You sure did.

And that's on me.

It's all on you.

OK. My bad.

Listen,
I accept your apology.

So if y'all don't mind,
I would love

to finish the service.

Yes.
Excuse me.

Now If you could
take out your bi--

I came right away.

The baby
isn't gonna die, is he?

Black Tanner's
the baby's father?

Well, you knew it wasn't
gonna be white Tanner.

So what, you just left me
alone for three days

to hook up with your sidepiece?

Hey, I ain't no sidepiece.

Shut up, sidepiece.

I spoke with him
and his grandmother,

and they said that Jordan
and I could stay with them.

Wow.

You just choosing him over me?

I mean, I was the best.

I'm not choosing him, Juney.

Wait a minute, hold up.

I'm choosing
not to drag you through this.

It just makes the most sense
since he's ready.

What about us?

Look, there's no more us.

It's us.

You shouldn't have
to put together the pieces.

We have a lot to learn,
but we want to try.

Yeah. I mean, it's only right
that I step up to the plate.

My son deserves that.

But, man to man,
I do want to say thank you.

I really appreciate
you holding Alison

and the baby down.

Alison.

It's his son, Junebug.

Hey, little man.

I'm your dad.

Juney, I really
didn't mean to hurt you.

Ever since your mom told me
that she wanted to protect you,

it just landed differently
when I finally had someone

I needed to protect.

I think you deserve better
than me right now.

But, Alison, we've already--

We appreciate
all that you've done.

Bye, Juney.

Is there one person
in here tonight

that would like to give
their life to Christ?

- Pat?
- Go to hell.

Yeah, sister in the back
in the hat.

No, no, no, the sister with
the biggest hat

- way in the back.
- Well, hello there.

- Regina?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my.

What in the-- like Lazarus,
you have been revived.

Like Jonah out of
the belly of the whale.

God has answered my prayers.

He works in mysterious ways,
y'all.

He has brought
my beautiful wife back to me.

No. No.
Unclap them hands.

I said unclap them hands.
No.

Now what has happened
is that this knock-kneed,

low-down, dark-skinned
Joel Osteen

hired somebody to kill me.

This woman is not my wife.

She has been consumed
by the lying,

deceitful spirit of the enemy.

The only thing
I'm consumed by is the truth.

Amen?
Amen.

Let him use you.

Now, I wanted a divorce,

but this guttersnipe
don't believe in it.

No, what he believes in
is murder.

So he hired
a hitman to kill me.

I knew it.

The spirit of the lace front
never lies.

I did all that,
then how are you still here?

'Cause the check bounced.

Nigga.

You wrote a check
to kill a bitch?

You should have used Zelle.

And our daddy said
that I was the sinner.

I can't believe this.

You's a liar,

and you's a cheat,
and I don't want you no more.

I don't want you.
I don't want you no more.

Why didn't y'all tell me?

Regina, let's talk about it.
Come on, baby.

- Oh, who are you calling baby?
- That's what you're mad at?

Police, come get this man.

Terry, you need to be ashamed
of yourself.

I need to be
ashamed of myself?

Yeah, you're the one
who told me to talk to the man.

I did not tell you--

Get off me, man.
Hey. Hey. Hey.

Come on.

Regina, me and you against
the world living one on one.

Hit it, Rufus.

* Victory is mine *

* Victory
is mine *

* Victory is mine *

So y'all happy
that you was right about him?

I'm just happy
we stopped you from being

in another bad relationship.

You could have said
a bad relationship, Terry.

You didn't have to say
another bad relationship.

Maybe you just need
to focus on yourself.

Maybe you're right.

I was thinking
that I will bring

this up at my next AA meeting.

I don't know why you're
so pressed for a relationship.

Marriage ain't all that.

I mean, it's literally
the same nigga forever.

The same funky feet forever.

The same tired-ass position--

Excuse me?

You know,
a wise man once told me

that risks are the price
you pay for opportunity.

So I'ma keep on swinging.

That nigga wasn't wise.
He was a murderer.

He was wise enough
to pay somebody else to do it.

With a check.

That bounced.

Ma, can I talk
to you for a minute?

I think I'm gonna go ahead
and give y'all some space.

- Denise.
- Hmm?

- So are you.
- No, I'm not.

I need some joy in my life.

At least let me see
some child abuse.

Denise.

Ma.

I wanted to apologize.

You were right.

No, don't come in here
with that half-assed apology.

You weren't sorry
when that girl had your nose

wide the fuck open.

You weren't sorry when
you was running around here

playing daddy
to somebody else's baby.

You let Alison make you think
that you could disrespect me.

Denise,
fly your ass back in here.

I know, Ma.
I know.

I just--

Yeah, you thought
you was in love.

Well, I am in love.

She chose someone else over me.

Yes!

Fuck her.

If only it was that easy.

It ain't never gonna be easy.

That's what I've been
trying to tell you.

Yeah. Stuff hurts.

It should hurt.

And I hope it keeps hurting.

'Cause you got to go
through shit

to know how to flush
that toilet.

Well, love is
way more complicated

than I thought it would be.

Hey, I know I am definitely
not ready for a family.

So, I really am sorry
for disrespecting you, Mom.

I know now that you were only
trying to look out for me.

Well, we're your family.

And don't you ever
in your raggedy-ass life

bring another
pregnant ho in my house.

How about we just
drop the pregnant part?

Hos need love too.

That's why we love
your Auntie Denise.
