to join the church this morning...

please come down to the altar.

Let him know.

Let him know.

- Yes, God!

- Let him know.

Whoever you are, let him know.

Come down.

Come on, Dutch.

You ready? Let's go.

- I'm not goin'.

- Why not?

- I just can't.

- Dutch.

- Go.

- Is Daddy coming?

- Daddy's gonna come next time.

- Those of you in pain.

- Those of you in confusion.

- Hallelujah.

- Amen!

- Those of you in deceit and despair.

Dutch, I'm not thinking about this right now.

I can't believe you did that today.

There you go. Faith won't pay the bills.

What does that have

to do with you joining church?

Do we have to talk

about this now, here?

You don't want me to embarrass you

in front of your little friends?

Yeah, that's right.

Can we drop it please?

All right, I'll leave it alone.

I won't say nothin' else about it.

- Hey, Monica. How you doin'?

- That is you. Mmm!

- This is Val, my beautiful wife.

- I'm so glad to finally get to meet you, Val.

It's nice to meet you too. Dutch is always

telling me about the good times...

you, Ryan and Kevin

had back in school.

Well, we used to say, " A party ain't

a party until Dutch Mass shows up."

Oh? Well, happy anniversary to you.

Fifteen years of heaven and hell.

There's my husband.

He's crazy.

- Hi, baby.

- Hey. What's happenin', man?

- Good to see you, man. This is Val.

- Good to see you.

Hello, Val.

Great to meet you.

We had to work very hard

to get your husband up here...

but, uh, Atlanta's loss

is definitely Philly's gain.

I like that color on you.

Takes a real man to pull that off.

Thanks.

Hey, I'm going to the sculpture garden.

Anybody wanna come with?

Dutch isn't going anywhere

until he dances with me first.

Ooh. I would not disobey

those orders, Doctor.

See you.

Val, hey, welcome to Philadelphia...

City of Brotherly Love.

Okay.

- How are you?

- I'm not much of a dancer, so I'm gonna-

Perfect. Then I'll teach you.

Do you mind, Val?

No, no, no.

That's all right.

Y'all go ahead. Have a good time.

So you must be the lovely Ms. Dutch Mass.

- Ryan Chambers.

- It's a pleasure to meet you, Ryan.

- This is Cynda. She works for me.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- You too. - Why don't you go get me

a drink for 10 minutes, okay?

- The usual?

- The usual.

- What do you do, Mrs. Mass?

- I'm a photographer.

- So you love beautiful things.

- Yeah, I do.

- So do I.

- Mmm.

Death on a Pale Horse.

Love it.

My favorite image

is the lion attacking. You?

I don't really have a favorite part.

I guess I like the whole thing.

I bet you do.

What?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ryan.

But I just love that song

off your last album.

What song?
