Kingdom Come Page #5
Come out here
or I'll sic Delightful on you.
- Let me come in for one second.
- Leave me alone!
- You don't understand!
- I don't understand?
You think you're the only one with
heartache? I have a son in jail!
You don't see me wallow on the floor,
or hiding in a closet.
This closet's taken,
you can't have it!
Move! You want anger, lady?
You listen to me.
We are family!
We are the Slocumbs!
And we are gonna serve this dinner...
...with our heads held high
if it kills us.
Now you come on.
You come on right here.
Come in, people, get your plates.
We ain't got all day.
I am so glad you could come,
reverend.
Mrs. Slocumb, I am sorry
and I'm glad I can be here.
I'm just so sorry, Ray.
Thank you, Charles. Thank you.
I had no idea your daddy
was a dancer.
It was a well-kept secret, Charles.
We thank you, Lord,
for these blessings.
And last but not least, Lord...
...you know who has done filthy things
with Bernice Talbert.
but I could...
...if I was provoked. Amen.
- Amen.
In Jesus' name.
Everyone, step lively.
The Bisons have this room next.
I just wanted to call...
...and make sure you
got into the house okay.
- We here, Ray.
- We'll be home in a little bit.
I sure hated not being able to
visit with everybody.
It's just so sweet.
All those people.
Each of them touched in some way
by Daddy Bud.
They was touched, all right.
These shirts here are for Junior.
He can't be looking like a scarecrow
when he's looking for a job.
- No.
I wanna talk to Mama
for a little while, okay?
- Get some rest.
- I will.
Ray.
Mama...
...Antoine told me
about the tombstone.
I'm not having it.
It'll say, "Rest in peace."
Which is 11 letters.
We get a two-dollar credit.
That's it, Mama. Period.
That's it.
All right.
I understand that.
Well, that's all I had to say.
I'll let you go to bed.
Can you take a minute with me?
- Sure.
- I wanna show you something.
Help me up.
Do you remember these?
Can't say I do.
These were my embroidery scissors.
My mother gave them to me
after I married your father.
I used to do all kinds of
things with these.
Did all the quilts.
Made clothes for you kids.
Just... everything.
Then one day they just
up and disappeared.
I looked everywhere,
but I never saw them again.
And yesterday...
...when I was getting
Bud's cuff links...
...I found them in with his stuff.
I have no idea why he wanted them.
Never even thought to
ask him where they were.
Isn't that funny?
I guess so, Mama.
It came to me that your father
is like these scissors.
We didn't lose him on Wednesday.
We lost your father a long,
long time ago.
Did you love him?
Did you love him?
Sometimes I loved him,
sometimes I hated him.
Ray?
Sometime...
...when you least expect it...
...a little door is gonna
open up inside of you.
And you'll feel just fine about
however you feel about your daddy.
'Cause you'll be right.
You'll be able to accept it.
- Good night, Mama. See you tomorrow.
- All right.
Mama?
You sure about that door?
Absolutely positive.
- Lf you need...
- Lucille.
Don't try to fix it.
Let's let it go for a while.
Come on, Delightful.
Royce! Wake up.
Where's Aunt Raynelle?
Why? Are you in a hurry, Devil?
Delightful, come on.
No. None of that today.
And take that gold thing
out your mouth. Delightful, come on!
I can't find my good pants!
Where's the preacher, Mama?
What's the rush, Ray?
Antoine and Merline are charging me
by the hour.
Ray, go on and find him.
Sit tight.
- What's he doing?
- He'll be right out.
I'm going broke waiting for him.
Mrs. Hooker went out...
...to that new Mexican restaurant.
- So what?
- Well...
...today he's having
intestinal difficulty.
I swear I'll go in there myself...
...'cause I've had
enough of this sh*t.
That is a poor choice of words.
and I don't have my pills.
Just take a deep breath. Come on.
- I'm really trying.
- I know.
I'll take care of it, okay?
Reverend?
Shouldn't be much longer.
You okay?
- When this thing gonna start?
- In a minute!
Charisse?
Honey, where's Junior?
I don't know. Ask Bernice Talbert.
Girl, you so funny.
Do you want some gum?
No, thank you.
to weddings and funerals.
sort of lulls me.
Helps my mind wander.
You know what I think about?
I'm sure you're gonna tell me.
my precious boy...
...in my $800,000 home.
And crawl into my king-size bed,
where I lie and wonder...
...where the hell my husband is.
Sure you don't want any?
Why don't you leave him?
And go where?
I have everything I want.
If he loved you...
Then I might be forced
to love him back.
Do you love Junior?
Do you want him back?
You don't have to answer.
Just let the gum take its effect.
It'll come to you.
It's hot in here.
- That's nice!
- Thank you, girl.
First of all, let me apologize
for my tardiness.
I had to call the gas company.
There seemed to be a problem
with one of the pipes.
Shall we pray?
Sorry. Sorry I'm late.
For God's sake, sit down.
Sit down!
Heavenly Father...
...we come here today...
...with heavy hearts.
I'm sorry.
As we mark with sadness
the passing...
...of our dearly departed brother
Bud Slocumb.
Give us peace...
...in our hearts today, Lord.
Guide us...
...through the long night
and help us see...
Okay, you need to handle this.
I'm gonna move.
Now, Father...
...let that tomorrow be a
better day than yesterday was.
For what is yesterday...
...but the tomorrow that we
could not face the day before.
But God, with your help...
...we will face it like
we did today.
Tomorrow and all of our
days to come...
...till you call us home
to be with you...
...and our beloved brother Bud.
- Can everybody say, "Amen"?
- Amen.
I love you, Charisse.
Can't you understand that?
I love you.
waltz in here...
...with a Whizzy Cream
and fix everything.
And I would forget
about all the pain and humiliation.
Huh, Junior?
Now, it's your daddy's funeral, okay?
I'm just supposed to welcome
you with open arms and say:
"I forgive you, Junior"?
Well, yeah.
I love you, Junior!
- I love you!
- Why'd you do me like that?
I didn't mean to, baby!
- Why'd you do that?
- I'm sorry!
That's it! That's it!
Get in the pew!
Get your ass in that pew!
Stay there if you want to live!
That's it!
Now...
...anyone here needs to say or do?
Does everybody here have
everything they need?
We may be
the laughingstock around here.
But for once in our lives...
...we're gonna do something...
...with class and dignity.
All right, reverend.
Take it away.
Okay, there, Ray.
Ain't God good?
I did not know...
...Brother Slocumb well.
But to me...
...he seemed to be a quiet man.
A man of inner strengths...
