- It's Reverend Cleophus!

- Preach the word!

"He who is without sin

cast the first stone. "

Amen!

Say it again.

You tell him, Reverend.

For are not all men alike...

...in their boundless capacity for sin?

Yes!

Can you not forgive?

Yes!

Can you not embrace

those who have wronged you?

You get on your knees and pray,

"Oh, Lord, forgive me. "

But you won't forgive your brother,

who you see every day.

Look to yourself

for the redemption you seek!

And acknowledge your own precious blood.

Acknowledge your own precious blood!

I want you to invoke its calling

in the blessed name.

Invoke the calling of the blood.

Invoke...

...the calling of the blood.

Invoke the calling of the blood!

Invoke the calling of the blood!

Invoke the calling of the blood.

The calling of the blood.

Yes. I understand.

I totally, absolutely...

...completely, positively understand.

This is my God-given...

...destiny!

Get them!

Get to the Bluesmobile!

Let's move. Come on!

I get it, Elwood! This is my calling.

The calling of the blood!

Look!

Stop!

Don't look back.

Look out!

Did we get them?

This is what I should be doing! All of us!

Music, song, dance.

That's why the military and police exist.

To protect the artists of the world.

If we can just win the

"Battle of the Bands. "

"Battle of the Bands"?

We have to audition first.

Fine! Audition. We'll slay them.

At least we're safe now

to do what we do in peace and comfort.

Blues Brothers Band.

Blues Brothers Band.

What the hell is this place?

It's where we audition.

The Plantation Club. Queen Moussette's.

So that's why all the mystery.

Yeah, she's a cannibal.

The biggest, ugliest,

meanest voodoo witch.

She's 130 years old.

She's a 130-year-old voodoo witch

who eats people?

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

What if we fail the audition?

Queen Moussette will receive you now.

Queen Moussette.

You said she was old and ugly.

Lxnay on the ugly-nay.

Your Majesty...

...the Blues Brothers Band.

You remove your hat and show respect.

I like that.

Arise.

Thanks, Queen.

So...

...you wish to enter

the "Battle of the Bands" contest?

We wish to win the first prize.

You must qualify.

Yes.

You must audition for me.

Where are your instruments?

Well, ma'am, you see,

there was this kind of a...

Never mind.

Is there anything in particular

you would like to hear, Your Highness?

Yes. Do something Caribbean.

Ma'am, we're the Blues Brothers.

We do blues, rhythm and blues...

...jazz, funk, soul, we can handle...

...rock, pop, country, heavy metal, hip-hop,

rap, Motown, operetta...

...and show tunes. In fact,

we've even been called upon to do a polka.

However, Caribbean is a type of music

which has not been, nor ever will be...

...in this band's repertoire.

Let's roll!

Now, if you will,

a hot Moussette's welcome...

...for Mr. Malvern Gasperon...

...and the Louisiana Gator Boys.

The Louisiana Gator Boys?

Look at them.

A bunch of wanna-be players.

How good could that mess sound?

Don't worry about it.

We'll smoke them turkeys.
