Good evening, Lily. How are you?
Glad to see you.
- Hello, boys. How are you?
- Good evening, Reverend.
- Good evening. Glad to see you.
- How do you do?
- Good evening.
- I see you brought the twins too.
They had to come out.
I hope they stay awake.
- Hello there, Jean.
- How are you?
Come on in, now. Take your hats off, boys.
Take your hats off.
You see, Reverend?
It ain't every Wednesday night a scamp
like Little Joe comes back to the fold.
- He's coming of his own free will.
Well, I'll believe that
when I sees him stand up and confess.
Maybe he's let Petunia
down again, Reverend.
You better step over
to the house and make sure.
If he done backslid,
he wouldn't pay no mind to a deacon.
- You better go yourself.
- Perhaps you're right.
Petunia felt so sure of him this time.
- Now, we don't wanna be late, darling.
- Just a minute, Petunia.
Oh, the Lord won't mind if you
ain't wearing a necktie, Little Joe.
- I found the tie.
- Then what you worried about, honey?
Right now
I'm wrestling with the devil.
While I was looking for the necktie
in the bureau drawer...
...I also found two calamity cubes.
And I ain't thrown them away yet.
If I been redeemed, why ain't
I pitched them right into the stove?
The fact you told me you found them
shows you are trying to be good, Little Joe.
- Evening, Petunia.
- Evening, Reverend.
Bring them along
so Reverend Green can burn them up.
- Burn what up, Petunia?
- Oh, Little Joe found some dice...
...and he thinks the devil's
got a toehold on him again.
But don't worry,
we'll be to the meeting tonight.
Hurry up, Little Joe.
Reverend Green's here.
I'll be there in just a minute, honey.
I don't think any man could be very bad
with you to take care of him.
Oh, I reckon he knows I love him.
Yes, he knows I love him
better than anything in this world.
And he also knows now, when he gambles,
How did you convince him of that?
I just showed him he can't win
when I ask the Lord to make him lose.
Is that why his luck's
always been so bad?
That's the only reason.
He just naturally got a talent for gambling.
Little Joe would've won every two bits
in this town if I hadn't told the Lord...
...I didn't want us
to make money that way.
You're a wonderful woman, Petunia.
Only last week he bought
an Irish Sweepstake ticket.
Got stuck up there in the mirror,
worshipping it every day.
"Guaranteed by two dream books
and a fortuneteller."
But I've been talking to the Lord about that.
It ain't gonna win either.
What made Little Joe realize
the power of your faith?
I'll tell you, Reverend, it's like this.
for Little Joe to get a job.
This morning he got one.
And that's finally convinced him
the Lord's in my corner.
- Good evening, Reverend.
- Evening, Joseph.
I hear you've started to work.
Yes, sir. From now on,
you can address me as "mine host."
- I've gone into the hotel business.
- That's fine.
He means he's got a job
down at that new hotel downtown.
Yes, sir. I'm operative in charge
That's gonna be nice for Little Joe.
That hotel's air-conditioned.
You know, honey,
when I get rich in the elevator game...
...maybe I'll air-condition our residence.
This one's already air-conditioned
with half the roof gone.
Well, it's about time
to start the services.
- You'll hurry along, won't you?
- We'll be there.
Reverend, when you call on
the sinners to confess...
the rest of the evening.
Oh, you're not that bad, Joseph.
