War Room Page #2

between the two, and so should we.

Danielle, I have to meet a client

in the morning,

so I'm going to drop you off early

at the community center, okay?

Okay. Can we pick up Jennifer

on the way?

Sure, if it's okay with her mother.

Who's Jennifer?

She's on my Double Dutch team.

I thought you were playing basketball.

I wanted to jump rope again.

Tony, you should go see her practice

tomorrow. She's really very good.

I'm out of town this week.

When were you gonna tell me?

I just did.

Tony, I know you're

the company's top salesman,

but in order for this family to function,

we have to communicate.

I thought you'd be here this week.

Well, if you want to continue to live

in this house, I have to make sales.

And that means being flexible.

Aren't you a little too old

to be jumping rope?

Here you go.

Now there's 5, 10, 15, 20.

And here's 5 extra

'cause I like your haircut.

Thank you, Ms. Williams.

I'm tired of seeing all these young boys

with sloppy hair

and pants around their knees.

- A man wears his pants around his waist.

- Yes, ma'am.

Well, tell your mama I said hello.

And I'll see you next week.

- Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Ms. Williams?

That's me.

You must be Elizabeth.

Well, it's so good to meet you.

You can call me Clara.

Well, come on in.

Let me show you the house.

I got to put my coffee pot on.

Can I get you something?

No, thank you. I had mine at home.

This is a beautiful house.

I think so, too.

Built in 1905.

And I've lived here almost 50 years.

Leo added that sun porch on the back

all by himself.

This must be Leo.

That's Leo.

We were married

for 14 years before he died.

He had just been promoted to captain

before that picture was taken.

He was so handsome in that uniform.

He's fine, ain't he?

Yes, we wanted five or six children,

but the Lord only gave us Clyde,

'cause he was all I could handle.

You see that big crack

over there on the wall?

That was Clyde.

Now, this is my third favorite place.

It's my sitting room.

- What do you do in here?

- Mainly sit.

Well, come on in here.

Let me show you the dining room.

Now this is my second favorite place.

I love this room.

This is beautiful.

And I love this fireplace.

I've got a lot of good memories in here.

Yes, I do.

Lot of laughter.

And a few tears, too.

Now this is why I'm moving in with Clyde

a few blocks away.

It's getting harder

to negotiate these stairs.

Okay, so three bedrooms

and two full baths.

- Do you mind if I take some pictures?

- Go ahead, that's fine.

You got one of those smart phones.

I've been meaning

to get me one of those.

Can't do nothing with my phone

but call folks.

Must be a dumb phone.
