Red Hook Summer Page #2

---

Now he's going to be here

for the rest of the summer.

Okay, l met him.

DEALER:
Hold up, where's my $1 00 at?

-God's blessing you every minute, Herbert.

-Yeah, whatever.

You be careful with that thing out here,

you hear me?

What's poppin', my nigga?

MAN:
Yo, what's poppin'?

DEALER:
Yo, yo, what up?

WOMAN:
Hey, Bishop Enoch,

how are you doing this blessed day?

See you on Sunday.

(ENOCH SlGHS)

Deacon Zee, this is not a Catholic church.

l know, l was just looking for that mop.

l set it down over here somewhere.

ENOCH:
Forget the mop.

Come on over here.

(ZEE CLEARlNG THROAT)

(GRUNTS)

You know,

it's four weeks until Old Timers Day.

And we're gonna have

every old timer back up in here

seeing this place same as it was last year.

Red Hook is booming.

And we've got to boom, too.

We've got to show them old timers

that we're surviving and thriving.

Yes.

You know some people want to

see this place broke up?

Right.

And who wouldn't want the two of us

as the pillar and the foundation

of Lil' Heaven?

Ha! (CHUCKLlNG)

-l've been praying.

-Mmm-hmm.

And l had a vision.

Well, if a worm crawled into a radish

and didn't know nothing else,

hell, he'd think it was a Georgia peach.

Now what's that supposed to mean?

lt means you had a vision last year, too.

The good book says, in Hebrew 1 1 , that,

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things unseen."

Have faith!

l had a vision

that a big donor is gonna

be coming to us soon,

somewhere around Old Timers Day.

And he's going to help us

get back on our financial feet.

Well, let's pray he works for Exxon,

'cause we owe six grand

on the heating bill from last winter.

The church van is broke again.

The roof is about to go.

And the plumbing down here would

give the Roto-Rooter man the mumps.

Well, l'm the Bishop man with a plan.

Man plans, and God laughs.

You know, because He's a jokester.

Look, l brought you some help.

This is my grandson, Silas here.

Calls himself Flik.

You know how kids are these days.

Didn't know you had a grandson, Doc!

You look like a real numbers man there, Flik.

You got your little tablet-thing

and everything.

iPad 2!

Oh!

iPad 2.

Let me tell you,

that thing is nothing but trouble.

Now, look, we got to get rolling.

-Spruce this place up.

-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

And take your foot off the gas

with the grape.

Would you, please? Thank you, Jesus.

Bishop, just a taste of stabilizer.

Red.

Jesus juice.

The blood... The blood of Jesus.

l'm hot!

You think this is hot, you ought to try hell.

l'm a heating plant technician.

What's that?

lt's a fancy name for a boiler man.

l fire up all the boilers
