Act of Faith Page #4

I mean read, read.

You gotta see it,

it's hysterical.

(laughing)

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Um, let me call you right back.

A hotel key.

OK, maybe he had a

business meeting.

Something, I don't...

Why would you have a hotel key?

- And this for you.

Did you just roll

your eyes at me?

Woman you come up

in here every day.

You know the food ain't no good.

I don't cook it, I just

bring it out to you.

Rolling your eyes at me.

I get paid minimum wage and

it ain't for stank attitudes.

- Tru, be professional.

- Enjoy your slop.

- Good morning, Mr. Mills,

you are you feeling today?

- Oh, not bad, if I must say.

You know, when you get past a

certain age, everything hurts.

- Well, maybe I'll make

you some of my homemade

blackberry and yam syrup,

it's my grandma's recipe,

known to loosen the joints.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Bring it on, sweet pea, I'll

try anything at this point.

- Good, I'll get you some to go.

The hotcake special

and coffee, as usual?

- Do I have to say a word?

- No sir, coming right up.

I put mine in, the couple.

(laughing)

- Long night out

at the club, huh?

Somebody get it in huh?

- Next time take me with

you to the club, girl.

Ms. Beatrice love to

drop it like it's hot.

(laughing)

- Young lady, why

are you wearing

those sunglasses in my diner?

This ain't the beach.

The bible says, "The

word is a lamp unto

"my feet and a

light unto my path."

- [Shartruce] Jackie!

- Is that man

beating on you, huh?

- No sir, I fell

down the stairs.

I just had a little

too much wine.

- Yeah, and just happened

to land on his fist, huh?

- Now, I done told you to

stay out of my business.

- Choke it, girl, you

need to lower your check.

- Or what?

- Or what, I'll

give you another one

to match the one

you already got.

I'm from Decatur baby, what?

- Shartruce!

- I don't care

where you're from!

- You don't care where I'm from?

- No.

- Shartruce!

Chill.

You see she's hurt,

look at her face.

- Sorry, I'm just saying.

It's gotta be a

hood switch up in me

that when you get disrespectful,

I just go gorilla

like (yelling).

(mischievous music)

- In 50 years of marriage,

I never once raised my hand

to my beautiful

Lilly, I never once.

Not once raised my hand to her.

Now, she done went upside

my head plenty times

with all types of foreign

objects and projectiles,

but it was all done in love.

See, the bible says that love

is patient and

kind, not violent.

- Well, I know some impatient,

unkind folk around the block

that'll set his mind right real

quick, fast and in a hurry.

Ain't nothing but a hoody

hoo away baby, what?

- OK, you know what.

Can everybody just please
