(Dove coos)

Man: Lord, we thank you
for your many blessings.

For the roof over our heads,

for our continued good health.

We thank you
for this glorious meal

and the hands that prepared it.

Especially uncle reggies
peach cobbler.

-Woman: Oh, yes.
-(Laughter)

And we thank you, lord,

particularly for our,
for our family.

Now, lord, please
bless this bread...

And bless this meat,

cause its most definitely
time to eat.

-Amen.
-(Laughter)

All:
Amen.

You want some of this
right here now?

So, Martin,
have you heard anything

about your promotion yet?

Ah, the deal closes this week.

That phone will
be ringing anytime.

Well, it sounds like, uh,
checks in the mail to me.

-Oh. -Martin: You have
to believe, George.

And you have to believe
that that check will be

-very big when it comes.
-George: I believe.

-I believe now.
-Well, itd better be.

-Especially the way your ex-wife
goes through your money. -Uh-oh.

Oh, now, now, come on,
behave yourselves.

(Laughter)

Gloria:
Do they have supper together

every Sunday?

They did miss one 25 years ago.

Yes, the Sunday that Ruby

and Martin sr. Died

in that automobile crash.

Yeah, so, aunt Charlotte,

I saw some travel brochures
on your desk.

Ah, never mind about that.

Mama says Clarence is
taking you to Hawaii.

No, he is not.

We are just

friends from church.

See, I have this nephew
that works at the travel agency

over in Ann arbor.

So I just asked him
to hook Charlotte up

with one of those cheap seats

so that, uh,

-after her retirement...
-(Charlotte clears throat)

Clarence:
Oh, oh, my bad.

Retirement?

What is he talking
about retirement?

Ive been going over
aunt charlottes retirement plan

and there is just no upside

to her teaching another year.

But the school wont be
the same without you there.

Reggie, I cannot keep pushing
to 65 and drop dead

of a heart attack before
I have smelled a few roses.

Reggie, whats wrong?

Im not hungry.

Martin:
Oh, come on now.

Youre not gonna finish
your supper?

(Indistinct chatter in distance)

(Laughter in distance)

(Playing piano)

(Footfalls approaching)

-(Stops playing) -I know youre
not gonna tell me you dont want

none of your own peach cobbler.

(Laughs)
Thanks, thanks.

You okay?

Ah, im fine.

You ever been
to Hawaii, uncle Reggie?

Hawaii?

Ive never been out of Detroit.

Well, its-its kind of nice
that aunt Charlotte gets to go,

and uncle Martins getting
that promotion.

Oh, yeah, its a great day.

-Woman: Advon.
-(Playing piano)

Coming.

Gloria:
He doesnt really think

its a great day.

No, he doesnt.

Human beings often say things

that they dont mean, Gloria.

But why wouldnt he be happy

that everybodys dreams
are coming true?

Because everybodys dreams
are coming true...

Except his.

Ill tell you, if I cant put
an encouraging hand

on some Childs shoulder,
I might

Oh, I know.

Yeah, well, at least
youre getting out.

Maybe I ought to look
for something else, too.

Well, we cant both leave
Reggie behind here.

Uh,

nobodys forcing Reggie
to be a janitor-- hes an adult.

Hes had all kinds
of opportunities over the years.

Its his own fault hes not
living up to his potential.

Charlotte?

Charlotte, youre just the
person ive been looking for.

Im Tess.

Hello.

Do I know you?

No, but I know you.

The hunter family has quite
a legacy around here.

And you must be Eleanor.

Yeah, thats right.

-Well, what can I do
for you, Tess? -Oh.

Ive been hired
as the interim choir director

when you retire.

But im gonna be here

until the end of the semester.

Good, then thatll give US
plenty of time to make sure

I wish theyd focus
that much on their studies.

Ah, come on, Dr. Winston.

So I hear that your brother

Martin is speaking here
this morning.

Yeah, yeah, he gives
a, uh, speech every career day.

-Mm-hmm. -You know, uh,
hes really smart.

Hes really smart.

Hes gonna be a vice president

of the Detroit Metro bank soon.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

We all always knew
he could do it.

Well, if you, uh, want
to go hear him,

ill cover for you.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-Okay, I just might do that.
-All right.

Great, thanks.

-(Car horn honks) -Woman:
Ill meet you over there!

(Indistinct chatter)

Man:
Next in line.

Woman:
Oh, thank you.

(Door opens)

Martin:
You must be Monica.

Im Martin hunter.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Hunter.

Come on in.

Sorry to keep you
waiting out there.

-Um, here, have a seat.
-Thank you.

But I thought that human
resources was hiring a...

Uh...

A person of color?

Frankly, yes.

This is a-a very

ethnic community, Monica.

Whoever replaces me has
to make their customers feel

like theyre dealing
with someone

who understands the community.

But I do understand, Mr. Hunter.

And I believe that a persons
character is more important

than the color of their skin,
whether youre giving them

a loan or interviewing them
for a job.

Touché.

Confidence is also
very important

in putting together
a loan package.

Like the one you put together

for the old town
redevelopment project?

Ah, exactly.

(Laughs)

Biggest deal
this banks ever seen.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Girls:
♪ bright noontide

♪ in solitude wander...

(School bell rings)

Remember, ladies, practice
your intonation tonight.

(Laughs)

Youre gonna miss them,
arent you?

More than im ready to admit.

-Mm-hmm.
-You know,

nobody tells these kids

they have to take
music classes, Tess.

They come in here because
they want to be here.

Its very gratifying.

Im sure.

In 40 years,

ive had nine kids become
music teachers,

two opera singers, one composer,

and a few thousand just looking
to have some fun.

Thats a great gift--

being able
to inspire young people

to follow their dreams,

even if youre not sure

theyre the right dreams.

Well, we can
only teach them, Tess.

We cant choose
their dreams for them.

No.

We cant, baby.

I dont know what g-dog rules,
but it surely isnt spelling.

So, your, uh, brother
and your sister

went to school here, right?

Oh, yeah, my whole family
went to northeastern.

My sister, Eleanor, teaches
social studies here,

and, uh, my aunt Charlotte
is the music teacher.

Well, for the rest
of the semester anyway.

So musical talent runs
in the family, huh?

I, uh, I saw your singing trophy
in that display case.

State vocal champ, 1975, right?

-(Toilet flushing)
-Well, it dont mean nothing.

Nothing?

Advon:
What?

You know thats wack,
uncle Reggie.

He was good enough to get
an audition with Berry gordy.

Advon, get to class.

Berry gordy was the guy
that started motown records.

He couldve made
uncle Reggie a star.

I said, get to class.

(Sighs)

Whoa, motown.

Thats very impressive.

Ah, its no big deal.

I wasnt much older
than you when...

I lost my parents in a...
In a car crash.

I was the oldest
and had to finish

raising my younger sister
and brother.

Now, I had two choices.

I could become a victim

and give up my dreams,

or I could stay strong,

keep my family together,

and fix my eyes on the prize.

I realized then that life is

like rafting down a river.

Sometimes the water is calm.

Just relax, go with the flow.

Sometimes
the current pulls you...

Hi, baby, im Tess.

Im new here.

Im Reggie and im not.

I-I can see that, yes.

Very impressive.

Martin:
...And being prepared for both.

Okay, questions?

Yes.

So, uh,

how could I be a

gq

banker?

I mean, you got an application
or something?

(Laughter)

Well, you just dont walk in
and become a banker.

I-I went to college,

like the rest of my family did.

I worked hard to pay for it.

I cleaned toilets at night

and went to classes
during the day.

Well, if your whole familys
so smart, then how come

your brothers
still cleaning toilets?

(Laughter)

Martin:
Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Theres no shame
in being a custodian.

I believe, the way
Martin Luther King did,

that no matter
what a man is called on to do,

even if it means cleaning
toilets, he should do it

so well that all the angels

in heaven should rejoice.

Now, my brother

is a Jack of many trades,

and no matter what he does,

he always gives it his best,

and im proud of that.

-Thanks for having me.
-(Crowd applauding)

The way you answered
that question

about your brother
was very moving.

Well, I suppose ive had
lots of practice, um,

explaining my brother.

Its hard to imagine that,
in such a successful family,

hes had to struggle
so much to find his way.

Everybody has to struggle,

but you still have
to make the right choices.

Mr. Hunter?

Steve stoecker, an investigator

from the Michigan
bank examiners office.

Yeah?

This is a court order

authorizing me to take custody

of all your files on the
downtown redevelopment project.

What? Why?

Richard Davis,
the principal partner

in the project,

has been charged
with investor fraud.

What does that have to do
with Mr. Hunter?

Well, I guess thats what
were going to have to find out.

Hes been going through
those files for two days now.

What the hell is he looking for?

Maybe you should consider
getting a lawyer.

I have a friend who could help.

I havent done
anything wrong, Monica.

Getting a lawyer would
just make me look guilty.

(Knock on door)

Moment of your time, Martin?

Uh, sure.

Uh, shes fine.

Listen.

-About this investigation...
-Walter,

you know
these charges are absurd.

Well, it still puts
the board of directors

in an awkward position.

Martin, it calls into question

the judgment
of our senior loan officer.

Yes, sir.

Well just have to, uh,
wait and see what happens.

Maybe im gonna need
that lawyer.

Ill make the call.

You need to get going--
its almost 3:30.

Oh, I... I cant.

I-I... I cant deal
with that now.

You promised your sister.

Okay.

Ill be back in an hour.

I dont see the need to have
two retirement parties.

I think the students
and teachers should have

just one big celebration.

Well, what about a barbecue in
the gym or maybe even a dance?

Too much fuss.

Well, I guess we could just

call it a surprise party.

Aunt Charlotte,

what do you want US to do?

Just let me go quietly.

For heavens sakes,
youre not dying.

What about a concert?

A concert?

Yeah, yeah,

with all the music you love,
and we could also ask back some

of your, uh,
successful students to perform.

Yes, thats a great idea.

And you should be one of them.

No, no, no, I cant.

Tess:
And why not?

You were the state
vocal champion in 1975

and youre family.

No, I just thought
it would be something

that aunt Charlotte would like.

Lets not push Reggie to sing
if hes not comfortable.

No, ID love
to hear Reggie sing.

And I havent heard
you sing in years.

(Mouthing)

What do you think, Charlotte?

Uh, well, I...

Im not sure.

Well, ive got
a district meeting

to go to, so why dont you take

a day or two and think about it?

Yeah, thats a good idea, and
if a concert is what you want,

aunt Charlotte, well,
well figure out who to get.

-Okay.
-Hmm?

Aunt Charlotte.

Look, you know...

I dont, I dont
even have to tell you this.

You-you know that
I would do anything for you.

Its just...

-Its just that...
-I know.

I know, Reggie,
and dont you think

another thing about it.

Tess: It makes you wonder
what happened

to the state vocal champion

of 1975.

Gloria:

Hi

, im so sorry im late.

Gloria:

Hi

, im so sorry im late.

I spent all morning
at the law library,

then I had to apply
for a library card,

but the computer wouldnt
accept my address-- go figure--

but this nice lady let me
check books out anyway,

so here I am.

Thanks for waiting.

Martin, this is Gloria.

I dont know whether
to say hello

or dial 911.

(Laughs)
I get that a lot.

Uh, anyway, uh,
Monica filled me in

on your situation,

and I would love
to take your case.

Well, hopefully
there wont be a case.

I just want to know
where I stand legally.

Oh, uh, well,
even with no collusion

on your part,
there is some legal precedent

holding a bank officer
responsible

for decisions made
with fraudulent information.

In the case of

th

omas v. The state of...

Oh, okay, youre hired.

Great.

(Giggles)

Reggie:
Whoa.

Now, thats a beautiful watch.

My father gave it to me.

It, uh... means a lot to me.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I got this old baby grand piano

from my mother when she died.

She used to play that thing
every night when I was a kid.

And you used to sing along?

Oh, yeah, I used
to love to sing.

So, uh, what song did you sing
for Berry gordy?

Well, my friends thought
I should sing

a smokey Robinson song,
you know.

But I-I wanted to do something

that he wouldnt expect,
you know, something to make him

remember me, so I did this,
uh, this Broadway song,

"the impossible dream."

So, did you get his attention?

Apparently not.

Well, you know, the first try,
thats always the hardest.

Yeah, that was
my first and last.

You just gave it up?

I figured, look,
I sang for the best,

why waste my time with the rest?

Because it was your dream.

Well... mama wanted me
to go to college

and make something out
of myself, you know?

Like Martin?

Yeah, like Martin.

And I messed that up, too.

But hes always there for me.

You know, all he ever asks is
that I do my best.

So I do my job, pay my way,

and every Sunday I make
a damn good peach cobbler.

(Laughs)

Tess: Its been a long time
since I sat down

to a meal like this.

(Doorbell rings)

I got it.

Ive made a decision.

(Door opens)

Reggie?

It would mean the world to me

if you would sing
at my retirement concert.

Aunt Charlotte,
I-I dont know if I can do that.

(Door closes)

(Footfalls approaching)

Mr. Stoecker.

Sorry for the interruption,
folks.

Uh, Mr. Hunter,
I need to speak with you.

Well, ill be in my office
9:00 Monday morning.

Im afraid you wont.

I have a warrant here
for your arrest.

Eleanor:
Arrest?

Martin:

Ho

w can they set my bail at...

Martin:

Ho

w can they set my bail at...

A half a million dollars?
Its outrageous.

Well, there has been
a recent trend

toward harsher rulings
in public corruption cases.

You need to post ten percent
of the bail amount.

I dont have $50,000.

Thats not what
the prosecution is saying.

What are you talking about?

These are photocopies of checks

made from Richard Davis
personal account

to you.

They have your signature
endorsing them on the back.

For a total of $61,000.

Ive never seen these before
in my life.

I certainly never endorsed
them-- these are forgeries.

Why would he do this to me?

Well,

if what youre saying is true

and Mr. Davis knew he was
defrauding you and the bank,

maybe he just wanted a fall guy
in case he got caught.

So he wrote these phony checks
to make it look like

I was selling him the loan,
like I was on the take?

Im afraid thats exactly
what it looks like.

Thats great.

Thats just great.

Eleanor:

Where are we gonna

ge

t $50,000 for bail?

Eleanor:

Where are we gonna

ge

t $50,000 for bail?

Charlotte:

We

ll, ive got my Hawaii money.

Eleanor:

No

, no, youve worked too hard

for that.

Ive got, uh, 1,600

in super-saver miles.

We could pawn mamas old silver

and China settings.

Were not gonna make
$50,000 selling teacups.

Where are you on the mortgage
with this house?

Well, we could,
we could squeeze out

another $10,000 in equity,
but, uh, thats about it.

Theres nothing left
to mama and daddys estate.

Reggie:
Right.

I wasted all that
flunking out of college.

Eleanor:
Come on, Reggie.

(Doorbell rings)

Ill get it.

Im definitely not needed here.

-Hey.
-Tess: Hi.

Im here to talk about

what youre going to sing at
your aunt charlottes concert.

Oh... I cant even think
about that right now.

Oh, why not?

My family doesnt
need a concert.

We need money.

What you need is
to stop focusing

on what you dont have

and start using what you do.

You know what?

Youre right.

Can we do this tomorrow?

Theres something I need to do.

Perfect.

So, how much do you think
I can get for it?

Well, ill need to find
the serial number.

-Uh-huh.
-Eleanor: Were back.

-Anybody home?
-But if this is a 1914 steinway,

its worth at least $40,000.

$40,000?

Thats right.

Reggie?

What are you doing?

Look, im gonna sell this piano

and help Martin out
with his bail money.

You cant do that.

Why not?
I dont have any use for it.

Reggie...

Look, every time
I look at this piano,

all I see is mama
playing it for me.

It always reminds me

that I never amounted
to anything and I never will.

Thats not true.

Oh, yes, it is, but-but $40,000?

For the first time in my life,
I can help Martin.

I can... I can do

what hes always done for me.

We wont be selling today.

Well, after you folks
sort it out,

my numbers on the card.

Look, I will be calling you.

-(Door opens) -Appraiser: Good,
and ill make you a nice deal.

-(Door closes)
-So, aunt Charlotte, what...?

Well, what was that all about?

Reggie, theres something
I need to tell you, I...

I couldnt live with myself if
I let you part with this piano

from your mama
without knowing the truth.

The truth, what truth?

Wha-what is she talking about?

Berry gordy did call back.

What?

He wanted to give you a tryout
with one of his new groups.

It was... it was right
after your parents died.

Martin took the call.

He... he answered the phone.

He told Berry gordy that...

Your folks had died and that
you werent interested anymore,

then youd be going
to college instead.

Eleanor:
Aunt Charlotte?

Why didnt you say anything?

Because...

Oh, god, forgive me.

I-I thought Martin was right.

I-I-I thought...

I thought that you would

go off to college and-and...

And be a music major
and then from there you...

You could do
whatever you wanted.

I-I never imagined...

I-I quit singing.

I quit because I thought
I was no good.

Nobody ever told you
you were no good.

We just never told you you were.

Whats the difference?

Im out of here.

(Door opens)

(Buzzer buzzes)

Youve got ten minutes.

Its good to see you,
little brother.

Hows everyone
holding up at home?

I have something

that I need to say to you.

Okay.

Aunt Charlotte told me the truth
about the phone call

from Berry gordy.

Ah.

Reggie, I...

How could you do that to me?

Youre my brother.

Reggie, I was 20 years old.

I had to make a lot
of tough decisions.

I did what I thought

mama and daddy would have done,
and that was for you

to go to college.

Now, you could have followed
your dream after that

if it was really
that important to you.

Reggie, please, i-i...

You ruined my life.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

Hey, im gonna, uh, meet
George and the kids

down at the pizza place,
get a bite to eat.

You want to come?

No.

Well, what are you gonna do?

You just gonna
sit here and burn?

No, im gonna find
the serial number on this thing,

get my money,

and start living.

They shouldnt have lied
to you, Reggie,

but its still family.

I mean, if we cant get
through the bad times,

we just might not be
around for the good.

Im not gonna be around
for any of it.

Okay, well, you know
where we are

if you change your mind.

(Door opens)

(Door closes)

Andrew:
Hey, reg.

Andrew?

-How did you...?
-(Car engine starts)

Did Eleanor leave the door open?

Yeah, something like that.

What are you doing?

Im getting out of here.

Yeah, you must be pretty angry
after learning the truth

about Berry gordy.

Who told you about that?

You know those stories
about angels who show up

just exactly when you need em
and they lead you right

to what youre looking for?

Mm-hmm.

Thats what I am.

And youre looking
in the right place, by the way.

Keep looking.

Wha-- what is this?

Tess: Something you needed
to find, baby.

Dont be afraid.

We are angels.

I was with your mama
when she bought this piano.

She bought it
with money she saved

from working second
and third jobs.

And you know why she did that?

She wanted to keep music
in your life.

She should have told Martin
and auntie Charlotte.

Reggie, everybodys dream
gets stepped on

sometime or another.

Why didnt you fight
for your dream?

Wait-- are you saying that
this whole thing is my fault?

No, im asking you,

why did you give up
on your dream so easily?

Okay.

My parents died.

I didnt know what to think.

All I really knew was that...

I hurt.

Reggie, your brother
and your aunt lost someone, too.

They were hurting, too.

Nobody was thinking clearly.

And your brother--

he made a mistake.

He sure did.

And why do you think
he did that?

Just to hurt you?

I dont know.

Yes, you do.

He loves you-- he was trying

to protect you.

Now, im not saying
he did the right thing,

but he did a loving thing,
and youre gonna have

to give him
some credit for that.

But I never got
to make a difference.

I never even got to try.

Well, you can make
a difference right now.

If you really want to sing,
you get out there

and sing with all your might.

But remember this.

All the success in the world
will not make you happy

if you dont have your family
to share it with.

God gave you many gifts
because he loves you,

and he wants to share beauty

and joy and music with you.

And thats what
your mama wanted, too.

"Reggie,

"if you find this letter,

"it probably means
that youre trying

"to sell this piano,

"but selling this piano

"wont solve your problems.

"Only god and your family will.

"You were born to make
music with your life, baby,

"and I know somehow
you always will.

"No matter where your life

"leads you,

"I want this piano to remind you

"that as long as you have family

"and a voice with which to pray,

"youll always be able
to find your way.

Love, mama."

Oh, mama.

What should I do?

Thank god
for your blessed gifts.

And give your family

the best that you have.

Your love.

Your music.

And your forgiveness.

(Buzzer buzzes)

Hows it going out there?

Gloria has a meeting this
afternoon with the prosecutor.

-Theres some new evidence.
-What?

Apparently they found
some blank pieces of paper

with your signature repeated
on them as if...

As if someone was practicing
my signature.

It seems so.

Thats great.

That alone will exonerate me.

I mean, theyll be able
to throw out this case

and this nightmare will be over.

What?

It just seems a shame that
it had to happen at all.

Nothing I could have done
about it-- I was the victim.

Martin, may I ask you
a question?

Did you pray about the loan
before you approved it?

Pray?

Of course not-- this is,
uh, this is business.

You pray before you eat
your meal.

You pray for your family.

Why wouldnt you pray about the
most important business decision

you might ever make?

Tell me the truth.

Wasnt there a moment,
or even more than that,

when something in your spirit

told you it might be wrong?

I dont know what
youre talking about.

I think that you do.

I think something
told you not to do it.

And you ignored it.

You could have prayed,
but you chose not to

because you didnt want
to hear the answer.

Because...

You wanted to make the biggest
loan that bank ever made.

You wanted the credit, you
wanted the vice president title,

you wanted it all so much
that you ignored

the still small voice

inside you that said no.

Martin, you have made
some very poor decisions

in your life

that have hurt yourself

and your family

because you didnt seek
gods guidance,

and even if youre completely
absolved of this crime,

you could still lose everything

if you dont change

your life today.

I dont need to hear this
from an employee!

Guard!

Im finished.

I was never just
your employee, Mr. Hunter.

I was your angel.

Guard!

(Door opens)

I didnt... I didnt
expect you to come back.

I wasnt going to.

But something happened, Martin,

something really weird

but kind of wonderful.

Something...

Just happened to me, too.

Um...

...can you ever forgive me?

Thats why im here.

Ive always loved you--
you know that, right?

I know.

And I love you, too.

Were brothers.

Were gonna get through this.

You know, some things
in our lives are

determined by our choices,

and some things we just get.

Like family.

Ive been very fortunate
to grow up

in a family that loved me enough

not to ever let go.

I thank god for them.

And I thank god for...

Showing me that
the only dreams that are lost

are the ones
that you dont fight for.

Ive learned my lesson.

Aunt Charlotte...

Your love

and support...

Have encouraged
thousands of kids

over the years.

And its also helped them...
