-Got it. You take care.

Put that away for me.

Mama, why do you entertain

that man?

He's obviously crazy.

Be careful how you talk to strangers...

...because you could be entertaining

an angel, unaware.

That's the Bible, darling.

Mama, you've been

knowing this man for years.

He ain't no angel. And if he was...

...you'd think God would send him

with money so he can pay his bill.
