Um...

This is Ashley.

- Hi, Ashley!

- Ash, can you say hi

to Pastor Chris

and Miss Michelle?

- Hi!

- Nice to meet you, Ashley.

You know, we have a little girl

about your age named Carrie.

Maybe we bring her by

to play sometime?

- I don't think

Ray would like that.

- Is Ray your husband?

- You know, this was a bad idea.

You better get going

before he comes back.

- Mindy, why don't you

come to the church?

- There are things we can talk about.

- Yeah, what kind of things,

Preacher?!

- Hi, I'm Pastor Chris Samuels,

this is my wife Michelle.

- Yeah, I heard what you said

already. We ain't interested.

- Well... Mindy

seemed quite interested.

- Preacher man, you don't know

the first thing about Mindy...

or me. I think

you should leave, now.

- We were just going... Chris.

- If you change your mind,

door's always open.

- Not ours! You don't come

around here no more.

No one wants

what you're selling!

I didn't know we were

entertaining!

- I thought you were about to hit him.

- Almost did.

You saw the bruises! Someone...

someone needs to teach him

what that feels like. - Chris!

We're not going down

this road again.

You don't repay evil

with more evil.

This isn't the wrestling

ring anymore, come on.

Let's go get Carrie.

What a friend

We have in Jesus

All our sins and griefs to bear

And what a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer

- Thank you, Mrs. Beasley,

that was lovely.

Screeching cats!

Ahem!

Um, I'd like to thank

everyone for, uh,

coming to my first

sermon. Today,

I would like to begin

by talking about,

um... no, not that one...

uh... faith!

Yes, faith. You see, uh,

faith is, uh...

Faith is what led me

to this wonderful place.

Um, faith is what

we have to have to

be one with God.

Uh, without faith,

we would be lost.

Faith is what gets us through.

Faith is good...

and it's... faith!

Um...

Um... See, faith is...

Faith is great!

- Alright, Care Bear...

let's make this a daycare.

- We have a lot of work to do.

To God in prayer

- Go get 'em!

- I know I've been talking

a lot about faith, lately,

but, uh, there's a lot of

faithless people out there,

they need to be more faithful.

So, today, let's talk

about faith, again!

- He's getting better, sweetie.

- Faith is... "I love you, dad."

"I love you, dad."

I love you too, Carrie!

Uh, my daughter, she's

so sweet. She always puts

little things like this in my...

my sermons and then,

I can't find my notes.

So if we could

just try to put everything

over on this wall.

Then, set up the carpet

over there.

- Sounds good!

- You know, there was

a funny story about faith

that, ah... Wait, there's

actually nothing funny,

I'm sorry, that was...

Wrong story!

Um, faith... faith is, uh...

It's faith, you know?

- This is gonna be amazing!

Thank you.

- Ooh! And faith is, uh...

Don't go. Don't go!

- important, folks,

because it's...

the heart. The heart

is so good, uh...

And that's why I'm here, right?

'Cause... 'cause we need faith!

We...

- Ugh!

- Thanks for coming.

Thank you for com...

- God be with you.

- Thanks for coming, Judd.

- Wow! I broke it,

I bought it, huh?!

- The roof; It's not

gonna fix itself

with a tithing

so low, right Tim?

- No, it'll get fixed by your

associates again, Judd. Twice, now.

- Nice going!

- I'm hoping that your jump shot is

a lot better than your preaching.

The leg, it's good? Maybe you

got some basketball tomorrow?

- Oh no, I think...

- I'd love to.

- Hey, excellent! I've got

an idea which you might

lead us with in a team prayer.

Gotta have

a little faith! Ha ha ha!

Right?! You seem

to know about that,

am I right?

- Oh, shut it, Judd.

The boy is new,

we have to give him some time.

- Miss Edna.

- Mm-hm.

- Have a nice day, all.

- Thanks for that.

- The sermon was wonderful.

- Really?

- Yes, it really was.

- Which part?

- Well,

the part where you're

going to stay with us.

- Miss Edna...

I'm losin' em, the congregation.

- No.

No, you will get them back.

You will get them back.

I want you to have this.

To help with your sermons.

- Yes, ma'am.

- You healed your leg,

but I want you to remember

that the heart

can be healed too.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Can I take you outside,

Miss Edna?

- Oh yes, please.

- Do you ever get the feeling

that something else is happening

right in front of you...

and you have no idea what it is?

- Every day I spend

with you, Pastor.

Come on.

- Let's go.

- Come on, Westside!

- Come on, Tim!

- Oh! Oh!

- Oh, for Pete's sake, Tim,

you wanna play zones?

Cover your man! Get out.

Samuels, you're in.

Get out. Don't

get comfortable, Harper!

- I never am, baby, I never am!

- Come on! Here we go!

- Thank you!

- What, what, what?!

- Oh! Woah!

- Walking foul!

- You're gonna do that?!

- It's OK, lot of time left.

- You guys are pathetic! What,

are you made of cardboard?!

Stand up like a man...

- Judd, I have had enough

of your attitude.

You need to step off!

You need to step out!

You're acting like a child!

- It's embarrassing out here!

- Looks like Judd

is speaking his mind.

- Oh! If Judd actually

spoke his mind,

he really wouldn't

have a lot to say!

- Count it. That's 3

the hard way, baby. Woo! Ha ha!

- 'Cause you're a cop, don't

think you get away with murder!

- Detective, baby!

- You're goin' down!

- Detective... D-2-3.

I got four!

Take that! Take that! Let's go!

- Knock 'em down!

Knock 'em down!

Ugh!

- Set up!

- Gimme that ball!

- Judd! I got the court!

- What is wrong with you,

Samuels, you were wide open!

- Why don't you worry about

a rebound, sometime, Judd?

- You worry about your jumpin',

don't talk to me about defense!

You wife is porous as a sponge!

- What'd you say about my wife?

- Porous as a sponge!

A sponge! A little tiny sponge!

Hey, if I'm wrong,

it'd be the first time!

- Get that, get that, get that!

- Ah!

Ball's out!

- What are you thinking, Tim?

- I wasn't expecting it!

- I'm so sorry, that's my bad.

- "My bad, my bad"!

It's all your bad!

Each and every one of you bad! - Come

on, Judd, this is supposed to be fun.

- Fun? Fun?! This is our first

game! We keep playing like this,

we're not gonna make the playoffs

and that will not be fun.

Delay of game!

- What?! You're an idiot!

Who let you on the court?

- Who let me on the court? You

know what? You are outta here!

- How dare you?! You know how

much money I put in this league?

You have no right to throw

me out, I throw you out.

You're gone! You're gone!

You're gone! You're gone!

- Hey! You call yourself a

Christian? Why don't you

start acting like one?

- You know what, Samuels?

You're out of here too; No way

you should be leading my church.

- Actually, Judd, I'm pretty

sure it's not your church.

- I put the money into it,

I keep it going.

If I wanna call it mine,

it is, and you're gone!!

- No, Judd, you're gone!

And your team's gone.

- What?!

- For the season, you're outta here!
