I follered her.
I don't want that thing.
Take it. I don't want it.
You take it and you shut up
before I hit you.
I won't have it.
You take it like I told you!
I got it, but it ain't mine.
I follered her to say I wasn't beholdin'
to none of her fast eye...
like she give me back there.
What do you mean?
I never looked at you with no fast eye.
I only watched you tearin'up
that tract.
Papa, he tore it up in little pieces.
- He tore it up and sprinkled it
all over the ground like salt! - Shut up!
He follered me.
I can hear the urne of Jesus
in his voice.
jesus.
Now you listen to me, boy.
Jesus is a fact!
- You can't run away from Jesus.
- No. You listen.
I come a long way
since I believe in anything.
I come halfway around the world.
You ain't come so far that you could keep
from follerin' me, though, have you, boy?
Some preacher's left his mark on you.
Did you follow me for me to take it off
or to give you another one?
I hear 'em
scrapin' their feet inside.
Get out the tracts.
They're fixin' to come out.
- What we gonna do? What's inside
that there building? - Program lettin'out.
Here, take this, boy, and go up
to the other side and give out.
I'll stay here with the one
that follered me.
Now you go to the top of them stairs
and repent, boy, and renounce your sins...
and distribute these tracts
to the people.
I'm as clean as you are.
Fornication, blasphemy.
What else?
If I was in sin, I was in it
before I ever committed any.
There ain't no channe come in me.
I don't believe in sin!
Nothin' matters
but that Jesus don't exist!
Go distribute them tracts
to the people.
I'll take 'em up there
and throw 'em in the bushes.
You be watchin'.
See can you see.
jesus calls you.
jesus calls you.
Hey! Lookee down yonder.
Do you see that blind man
down there?
He's givin' out tracts and benign.
Jesus! You ought to see him.
And he's not this here ugly child.
Now you better get
on the other side, lady.
There's a fool down there
nivin' out tracts.
Don't pay no attention
to that fanatic up there.
Don't I know what exists
and what don't?
Ain't I got eyes in my head?
Am I a blind man?
Let me tell you somethin'.
Maybe you think that you ain't clean
because you don't believe.
Every one of you are clean,
and I'll tell you why.
If you think it's because
of Jesus Christ crucified, you're wronn.
I ain't saying he wasn't crucified,
but I say it wasn't for you.
I'm gonna start a new church...
the Church of T ruth
Without Jesus Christ Crucified.
And it won't cost you nothin'
to join my church.
- It ain't started yet, but it's gonna be.
I don't need Jesus.
What do I need Jesus for?
I got Leora Watts.
Hawks. Asa Hawks's the name
when you go to follerin' me again.
Sin is a trick on n*ggers.
Sin ain't on my books.
Hey.
Now we got shut of them, why don't we
go someplace and have us some fun?
Heard about there's this house we can go
and have us some fun.
I could pay you back next week.
I got business of my own.
I seen just about all of you I want.
I been here two months,
and I don't know nobody.
People ain't friendly here.
I think I seen you
someplace before.
- You ain't from Stockwell, are you?
- No.
Looked like you had
a kind of familiar face.
Good-bye.
I'm goin' thisaway too.
My daddy made me come.
I ain't but 18 years old,
and he made me come here.
And I don't know nobody, and nobody
here will have nothin' to do with me.
They ain't friendly.
Look a-here. You want a woman, you don't
have to go follerin' nothin' ugly...
like that kid you give a peeler to.
Look, get away from me.
People here ain't friendly.
You ain't from here,
but you ain't friendly neither.
And you don't know nobody neither.
I knew when I first seen you that you
didn't have nobody or nothin' but Jesus.
I seen you. Yeah, I knew it.
That's right.
Standin' around actin' like you got
wiser blood than anybody else.
But you ain't, 'cause I'm the one
that has it. Not you. Me.
What are you talkin' about?
About I know things
I ain't never learned... -
how I can see signs.
It's somethin' that just happens,
and I got to do some things sometimes.
I got to do some things
sometimes I don't even wanna do.
I can feel it.
I can feel it pullin' and tunnin' at me
and pushin'...
and I can feel my blood beatin',
and I got to do this thing right now.
It's... - It's wise blood.
It ain't everybody has it.
See, it's a nift.
It's a nift like, uh,
the nift of the prophets.
Now, I ain't sayin' I'm a prophet.
No, it ain't like that, but it's like that.
You're crazy, boy.
You get away from me,
and you stay away.
I'm goin' where I'm goin'.
I got a woman.
I got a woman, see?
And that's where I'm goin'... -
to visit her.
She told me where they live.
That girl you give a peeler to...
she said to visit 'em and to bring you there.
Ray.
This way out. This way out.
Eighty-five cents.
Don't buy nothin'for the lady.
Exclusive show. Miss Eve herself In person.
Only 15 at a time.
Only 15 at a time.
So "sinsational,"
it'll cost you 85 cents to see it.

So sinsational.
...repent to the Lord
and burn your eyes clean.
You'll see yourselves
for what you was... filth.
A generation of blasphemers
and whoremongers, every one of you.
There ain't one of you is a clean man
or woman or child.
I tell you there ain't no finer act
than God's judgment.
Repent before he casts you down
into the burning pit of hell...
like stones into a lake of fire.
You don't just walk in here like that.
I'll show you
what we've got to show.
- Let me see Slade.
- What you want to see him for?
I want to see him about this here car.
- I'm him.
- Well, how much it cost?
How much do you finure?
Give us an estimate.
- What do you want?
- I want this here car.
- I might take $300 for it.
- I wouldn't pay no more than 200 for it.
That car, you can't buy like that every day.
It's got new tires on it.
They was new when it was built.
They built good cars several years ano.
They don't build good cars no more.
- You wanna get underneath it and look at it?
- No.
Told you you wouldn't bust them tires.
What'll you give me for it?
I'll take two and a half.
That wouldn't be worth
what it'd cost to cart it off.
I won't arnue with you about that.
This car wasn't built
by a bunch of n*ggers.
If you don't want this one, there's plenty
more you can look at just the same price.
What do you want for it?
I'll take two and a quarter,
and you can pay me when you leave.
- Two and a quarter and some nas.
- Tank's full.
I wanted this car mostly
to be a house for me.
I ain't got no place to be.
You got to switch it on
