not requested, Dr. Mass.

#Praise the Lord #

# Come on, come on #

# Come on, come on #

# Come by me #

# O Lord, come by me #

# O Lord, come by me #

Whoo! Yeah! Come on! Sing! Yeah!

# Yeah #

Hallelujah!

- Thank God!

- # Ooh #

Praise God!

- Let the church say "Amen!"

- Amen!

- Yes!

- Hallelujah!

I'm talkin' about the land

of the designer walk and the designer talk.

The designer gowns

and the designer frowns.

Designer husbands, designer wives.

Designer smiles, designer styles.

All designed by the one who knows...

the weakness of the flesh

is temptation.

The flesh may call your name...

but only God can call your soul!

Only God can call your soul!

- Yes! Surrender, rich man.

- Hallelujah!

Surrender, poor man.

Surrender, beggar man.

Surrender, thief.

- Praise the Lord!

- Surrender.

When God calls you, surrender,

adulterer.

Surrender, liar.

Surrender, kings,

the presidents and Indian chiefs.

- Amen!

- Surrender!

- The time is drawing near for you

to surrender. - Glory be to God!

Surrender.

- Thank you, Heavenly Father.

- Yes.

Now, anyone who wants

to join the church this morning...

please come down to the altar.

Let him know.

Let him know.

- Yes, God!

- Let him know.

Whoever you are, let him know.

Come down.

Come on, Dutch.

You ready? Let's go.

- I'm not goin'.

- Why not?

- I just can't.

- Dutch.

- Go.

- Is Daddy coming?

- Daddy's gonna come next time.

- Those of you in pain.

- Those of you in confusion.

- Hallelujah.

- Amen!

- Those of you in deceit and despair.

Dutch, I'm not thinking about this right now.

I can't believe you did that today.

There you go. Faith won't pay the bills.

What does that have

to do with you joining church?

Do we have to talk

about this now, here?

You don't want me to embarrass you

in front of your little friends?

Yeah, that's right.

Can we drop it please?

All right, I'll leave it alone.

I won't say nothin' else about it.

- Hey, Monica. How you doin'?

- That is you. Mmm!

- This is Val, my beautiful wife.

- I'm so glad to finally get to meet you, Val.

It's nice to meet you too. Dutch is always

telling me about the good times...

you, Ryan and Kevin

had back in school.

Well, we used to say, " A party ain't

a party until Dutch Mass shows up."

Oh? Well, happy anniversary to you.

Fifteen years of heaven and hell.

There's my husband.

He's crazy.

- Hi, baby.

- Hey. What's happenin', man?

- Good to see you, man. This is Val.

- Good to see you.

Hello, Val.

Great to meet you.

We had to work very hard

to get your husband up here...

but, uh, Atlanta's loss

is definitely Philly's gain.

I like that color on you.

Takes a real man to pull that off.

Thanks.

Hey, I'm going to the sculpture garden.

Anybody wanna come with?

Dutch isn't going anywhere

until he dances with me first.

Ooh. I would not disobey

those orders, Doctor.

See you.

Val, hey, welcome to Philadelphia...

City of Brotherly Love.

Okay.

- How are you?

- I'm not much of a dancer, so I'm gonna-

Perfect. Then I'll teach you.

Do you mind, Val?

No, no, no.

That's all right.

Y'all go ahead. Have a good time.

So you must be the lovely Ms. Dutch Mass.

- Ryan Chambers.

- It's a pleasure to meet you, Ryan.

- This is Cynda. She works for me.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- You too. - Why don't you go get me

a drink for 10 minutes, okay?

- The usual?

- The usual.

- What do you do, Mrs. Mass?

- I'm a photographer.

- So you love beautiful things.

- Yeah, I do.

- So do I.

- Mmm.

Death on a Pale Horse.

Love it.

My favorite image

is the lion attacking. You?

I don't really have a favorite part.

I guess I like the whole thing.

I bet you do.

What?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ryan.

But I just love that song

off your last album.

What song?

There's a lot of songs on that album.

- #When-# No, I can't sing.

- Just let me have a little bit.

- #What you gonna do when they-#

- # Hurt you #

#Where you gonna go

when they lie to you #

#Who you gonna call

then run to #

#When you know your life ain't right ##

So, uh, you and Dutch ever dance to me?

Um, Dutch and I dance

to a lot of your music.

Right.

Stop it.

Monica, come on. Stop it.

- So tell me. How long you know Monica?

- We just met.

Let's dance.

So, Dutch told me that you,

him and Kevin...

were like the Three Musketeers

back in the day.

Yeah. The scholar,

the baller and the flirt.

So, now, you are the scholar?

Guess again, baby.

# Wish I could find the right girl #

You ever wonder why Ryan Chambers...

would hit on a Southern belle

like yourself?

- At the time, yes.

- Love 'em or leave 'em.

You know what they say

about a woman scorned.

The same thing they say about

an assistant D.A. running for office.

Could we get on with this, please,

Detective?

- I knew something was wrong. I just

didn't know what. - Ah.

Hey, Val, come on.

Boy, I'm coming.

- You can't rush perfection.

- I know that's right.

- Patience.

- That's a virtue, right?

That's right. Patience.

Uh-oh.

Where did you and Monica go?

Come on.

We didn't go anywhere.

I told you.

I went outside to the sculpture garden

with Kevin and the fellas.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, right.

Who's the one there dancin'

all close with Ryan Chambers?

- Oh, please!

- Yeah. That's all right.

- Jealousy is a strong aphrodisiac.

- Look at you.

- Baby, come on.

- Mm-hmm. You on my list.

Yes, I wanna know

why you didn't join church today.

- I'll join next week. Move your arm.

- You gonna join next week?

- You said we wasn't gonna talk about

that again. - I lied.

- I will join next week.

- Not because I told you.

Val, why you gotta

ruin the mood like this?

It's important. I wanna know

if somethin' bothering you.

Nothing is bothering me. I was in

a good mood until you started all this.

What is that supposed to mean?

Noth-Nothing.

Nothin'. I'm-

I got a lot on my mind right now

with the pay cut and everything.

I'm just, you know-

I'm trying to figure some things out.

We can tighten it up.

I'll skip a few pedicures.

Baby, how would you feel-

You know...

what would you think if-

- if- if, you know, like-

- What is it, baby?

Maybe I'm not the man...

you think I am, you know?

The man you want me to be.

Maybe I'm not always the woman

you want me to be either.

Come here.

Look at me.

No matter what happens...

you know that I love you, right?

You know?

Dutch, wait a minute, baby.

You're scaring me.

- Is somethin' wrong?

- No.

No. No.

Man, I'm sorry.

No, nothin'.

It's the champagne talking, baby.

I love you, Dutch.

I love you more.

Good evening, ladies.

- Let's welcome Mrs. Mass to our Women's

Faith Fellowship. - Yes.

I just want to say

how grateful I am to be here.

I'm a guest

of my good friend Zahara.

Me and my husband, Dutch, and my daughter,

Nicole, just moved up here from Atlanta.

And I just wanna say how grateful

I am to meet all you ladies...

and how grateful I am, more than anything,

to be back in the house of the Lord.
