Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day

1

Everyone that loved me,

I lied to.

Even myself.

You know, they say that

God created the world in six days.

On the first day

there was light,

but there was no light.

This is really not my fault

that you are

as fine as you are, 'cause I'm just saying.

You know, the fact that...

- I just need to be with you.

- Oh.

I'm feeling horny.

Okay. Uh-huh.

Rub up on you

like that right there.

There was no heaven

on earth that I could see.

There was no Garden of Eden

that I lived in.

I gotta get ready.

I gotta get ready and so do you.

- Just two more minutes.

- I'm flattered though.

- You know I am.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Go get ready.

- Come on.

There wasn't even

earth under my feet that I could feel.

I mean, nothing.

I felt nothing.

Tonight it's on, that's all I'm saying.

It's on like hot buttered popcorn!

And then on the fifth day

they say he created creatures.

When... When did you

find time to cook breakfast?

Well, the cake sale, it's today, remember?

Oh, right. That's right. That's right.

Yeah, I've been up since 6:00 a.m.

Yep. You know how those deacons are.

They're vicious about their cakes.

Zip me up.

I know you wanna take it off,

but put it back up.

Zip it up.

The only creatures that I saw

were the ones that I imagined in my mind.

And I know God didn't create any of those.

No, he didn't create any of it.

You know, Mommy loves purple,

'cause it's the color of hope.

I see where this is going.

And it's magical.

I love magic, Mommy.

Well, that was easy. Purple it is, baby.

And there was no me.

That's for sure. There was no me.

I wanna go to church with you, Daddy.

I know, baby, but you know what?

They got something special for you today

in Sunday school, I think you'll like it.

Okay, cake's in the back.

Jesus said he would

Said he would

make up my dying bed

My father said he would

Said he would

make up my dying bed

Well, when you

Thank you, Jesus

See me crying

Thank you, Jesus

I don't want nobody to mourn

What I want you to do for me

Thanks for watching her.

Please take one.

This is my child. She's missing.

This is your little girl?

Yes, my daughter. She's missing.

Please help me find my daughter.

- Good morning!

- Hey, Tia.

- How are ya?

- Hey! Ooh!

I'm good. What'd you make?

Well, that's a cinnamon bundt cake.

- Oh, it looks good.

- It's good.

You even had to

bring your mom up here...

- Afternoon, gentlemen.

- Whoa! Good afternoon.

That is one fine honey, man.

Make a hungry dog jump off a meat wagon.

Fellas, fellas, that's my assistant.

- That's what I gotta work with everyday.

- Your sister?

- Assistant.

- Oh...

The Bible talks about a thing

called a "root of bitterness."

You may have cut down all of the leaves

and all of the branches and the tree

and the trunk is gone,

but my question to you is,

have you dug up that root of bitterness?

Because until you get rid of that root

you can't go to the next level.

Is there anybody in here

who hears what I'm saying?

Give Him a praise.

Praise the Lord.

I don't know what you're going to do,

but I've made up my mind.

I will release!

I pray a spirit of release

takes you to the next level!

For the next 30 seconds,

give your God the praise!

Ooh, this looks good.

This looks real good. The food...

Man, it's so hot out here

the food is sweating.

Goodness!

Why does everything have to be so perfect?

I like things a certain way.

Les, man, I see I need to

get you out on a court real soon

'cause you need to

work on that fat, boy.

Hey, man, don't hate.

I'm not hating.

This is from good living.

I mean, you may think it's fat.

- I call it my love bucket.

- Mmm!

What do the ladies call it?

- Fat.

- Thank you.

- 80, Les...

- Yo!

You still banging that little nurse

in the hospital closet, man?

Oh, man!

What's wrong with you? You crazy?

- Of course I am.

- You gotta be kidding me.

- She makes me feel young.

- Young?

- Yeah.

- You?

Well, you know, Tia and I,

we just don't mesh like we used to.

I don't understand that talk of yours.

What you need to understand

is every real man needs a good woman.

You know, like Kari. I'm

blessed to have Kari.

Not only is she sexy as hell,

she's a good wife...

- And a super freak.

- Hey, hey.

That's my lady. That's my angel.

Everybody knows

angels don't get freaky in the bedroom.

Got that right.

So tell me, why did we get married anyway?

So we can live happily ever after

in our lovely gated communities.

Safe and secure, right, Les?

Yeah, well, listen,

I don't want a beggar outside my door.

Everyone ain't able, Les.

I mean, everyone's not as fortunate as you

to be able to shield yourself

from the reality of poverty.

Look, man, I have to agree with Les.

Wow, you, brothers, are demented.

Try that com. I got it seasoned just right.

Daddy!

Do you know

your big day is coming in less than a week?

I'm gonna be seven!

That's right.

All right, go.

Bye, little man.

- Oh!

- Hello.

- Don't I know you?

- Maybe.

Oh!

Mmm!

May I have this dance?

You may.

Please let me change

your heart for you

Please, little girl

Please, baby

Let me change

your heart for you

Excuse me?

I know your motor's

got the blues

That just came to you?

'Cause your oil change

will bring bad news

Watch yourself. Watch out.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I...

That's not good to think about.

Well, then make up your own prayer.

Just remember, what's important is that

you know that God is

always watching over you

and he'll never let you down.

What happens if you let God down?

He forgives you.

God loves us no matter what.

Okay-

God bless everyone. Amen.

That's it?

It seemed to cover everything to me.

Hey, sleep tight.

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

And if they do?

I hit 'em with a shoe.

And make those bugs...

All black and blue.

- All right.

- Good night, Daddy.

Here's your baby and your blankie.

Good girl. See you in the morning.

Ooh, baby.

Mmm, you like it when I'm naughty.

Uh-huh.

- You are my angel though.

- Hmm.

That's not what you called me a minute ago.

That's right.

You know,

earlier today I kept thinking about...

When I was making that

crawfish, my mom kept

- running across my mind.

- Mmm.

I kept seeing her

sitting there waiting for me to

pour 'em out.

I don't think you ever

get over losing your mother.

I think you just learn to live with it.

I don't think it was

ever the same after Katrina.

After she left her house...

And you remember

how much she loved this city.

Mmm.

I still think she died of a broken heart.

You are such a good man, David.

I know my mother would have loved you.

What are you saying?

Your old man wouldn't have approved?

Oh, stop.

I think he would've loved my crawfish.

How could anyone not love you?

- Mmm-hmm.

- Mmm.

You want seconds, don't you?

Come on, come on.

- Don't let me hold you back.

- Mmm!

- David.

- Hmm?

I think I heard something.
