Did you see Tiny's big ol' red face
when I said...
""This is for short-changing me,
a**hole.''
he was gonna have a heart attack.
Oh, f*** yeah.
[ Laughing ]
Need a drink.
Hey, hon. What you in for?
I caught my husband cheatin' on me
with my sister Jeanetta.
So when he went to sleep...
I got him hard...
and super-glued his dick
to his stomach.
- He pressed charges.
- Mm-mm-mmm.
- [ Maniacal Laughter]
- You, what are you gonna do
if your ears...
your eyes fail you?
You're not gonna see
or hear the signs of Satan.
It feels good.
I have a fish in my ear!
I can't-- Help me! Please!
- [ Blows ]
- When you're staring face-to-face
with Satan herself.
- The Lord Jesus Christ,
my personal savior--
- We gonna have a show now!
Settle down, y'all!
You gonna let that boy into your heart.
That's what you're gonna do.

To get you off my mind[ singing:
And I may sometimes bother you[ singing:
Try to be in touch with you[ singing:
Even ask too much of you[ singing:
From time to time[ singing:
Now and then[ singing:
Lord,you know I'll need a friend[ singing:

[ Whimpering ]
- Wardell?
- Brother Boy.
Oh, no! You--
My hair fell off. You can't--
Oh, my God. No. Don't look.
So this is Wardell.
Um, I've heard a lot about you, Wardell.
Dr. Eve Bolinger.
What I need for you and everybody else
is just to stand back...
and stay calm till we're out of here
so nobody'll get hurt.
I don't think I'd mind gettin' hurt by
a big ol' handsome cowboy like yourself.
- Back off, b*tch.
- Excuse me?
No. You heard me.
You get your damn paws off of him
and you get the hell on outta here.
Like I'm scared of you,
Hey! Don't talk to him like that.
Shoot her, Wardell.
Shoot her in the head.
- Go on! Git!
- Get the hell on outta here!
- Brother Boy.
- Wardell.
- I'm sorry.
- Ohh.
Uh-- [ Chuckles ]
It's-It's okay.
I'll never hurt you again.
And I won't let anybody else hurt you,
either.
I'm taking you home now.
You're, um--
- You're taking me home?
- That's right.
[ Sniffles ]
Dear sweet Jesus.
[ Crying ]
I'm going home.
Come on. Come on. Let's go.
You stay back.
- Stay back!
- Bumper, grab him!
- Come on!
- Give me the gun!
Come on! I know the way!
- Hurry! Go on! Go!
- Keep runnin
[ Grunting ]
Sh*t!
- Hyah!
- [ Screams ]
Where'd they go?
Hey.! Come back here,you little f*ggot.!
If I'd known you was comin',
I'd have wore flats.
- Come back here.!
- [ Gunshot ]
- Oh!
Oh! Whoa!
Hey! Goddamn it.
Sh*t!
Here we go. Run, run, run!
Fast! Run fast!
Stop or I'll shoot!
Goddamn it!
- A**hole!
- Ow.!
Do you see my p*ssy now? Ha!
Haul ass, Wardell.
After I left your office...
I just went home,
laid down on the couch...
and just started drifting, you know--
let my mind float from place to place.
And I just wondered
what my life would have been like
if I'd been honest with myself...
and everybody else.
That's when I decided
I'm not going back down to
my grandmother's funeral...
basically because I'm gay
and I don't wanna deal.
Then I started feeling guilty.
[ Sighs ]
And I prayed.
I don't know why.
I haven't prayed in years,
but I asked for a sign.
You know,
just like I did when I was a kid...
back when I went to church--
when I believed.
[ Ty, Narrating ]
And this feeling of peace...
of serenity...
just swept over my entire body.
[ Chuckles ]
When I was a little boy...
I just loved church.
But I stopped going.
Because how do you embrace something
that doesn't embrace you.
But lately...
I've been missing God.
So I finally prayed.
Then...
I just opened up my eyes
and flipped on the TV.
Wizard of f***in'Oz was on.
Right at the part where
Glinda's singing, ""Come out,
come out, wherever you are.''
I swear to God.
So I got up and I just
went straight over to the theater.
- ] [ Sara Singing ]
- It was this quest.
It was this spiritual quest.
[ singing:
Helplessly I watch ][ singing:
Both girls and guys cruise you ][ singing:
So please, please don't be gay[ singing:
We don't wanna lose you[ Man ]
Too late, honey.
- ] It makes me sad-- ]
- Okay, kids. Let's take ten.
And then we start the second act
run-through. That was great.
- I wasn't flat?
- Not at all.
I got such a f***in'headache?
We got any Motrin?
I got some of that generic sh*t
in my bag.
Sara?
Don't tell me. You've come to
beg forgiveness, ask me to marry you...
and we will run off
and live happily ever after.
Look. I basically came by
just to say that I'm sorry...
and to tell you something.
Okay.
Sara, you are such a great girl.
- I know.
- [ Chuckles ]
[ Exhales Deeply ] And the reason
that I broke up with you...
is be--
[ Sighs ]
It wasn't--
Oh. I'm gay.
- I know.
- You know?
Most people do.
Oh, God.
It's okay.
You're-You're Ty.
Okay. Look. So we can't
run off together...
have wild sex and get married.
Whatever.
But you know what really hurt me...
is that you just dismissed me
from your life.
And you have to understand,
they're not gonna toss you out
just because you're gay...
because of who you are.
I'm so sorry.
You don't have to be. It's okay.
[ singing:
I've wandered far[ singing:
Away from God ][ singing:
Now I'm comin' home ][ singing:
The paths of sin ][ singing:
Too long I've trod ][ singing:
Lord, I'm comin' home ][ singing:
I've wasted many precious years[ singing:
Now I'm comin'home[ singing:
I repent[ singing:
With bitter tears[ singing:
Lord, I'm comin'home[ singing:
Comin'home,yeah[ singing:
I'm comin'home[ singing:
Nevermore to roam[ singing:
Open wide[ singing:
Thine arms oflove[ singing:
Lord, I'm comin'home[ singing:
Comin'home,yeah
