Man, I'm sorry.

No, nothin'.

It's the champagne talking, baby.

I love you, Dutch.

I love you more.

Good evening, ladies.

- Let's welcome Mrs. Mass to our Women's

Faith Fellowship. - Yes.

I just want to say

how grateful I am to be here.

I'm a guest

of my good friend Zahara.

Me and my husband, Dutch, and my daughter,

Nicole, just moved up here from Atlanta.

And I just wanna say how grateful

I am to meet all you ladies...

and how grateful I am, more than anything,

to be back in the house of the Lord.

- Amen! Amen! - And I give

God all the glory and all the praise.

Amen!

I am Mrs. Persons.

I would like to welcome you.

Tell me.

What does your husband do?

- He's a psychiatrist.

- I might need him.

Praise the Lord.

Now, the topic

for this evening, ladies...

is how to-within our faith- deal with

spousal cheating in a constructive way.

Yes, Miss Gladys.

My husband cheated on me one time

with some filthy Jezebel.

- I snatched that heifer bald.

- Mm-hmm!

Her dog tried to bite me.

I snatched the dog bald too.

- Amen!

- Let's remember two things, ladies.

Let's find constructive responses,

and let's keep God in this.

- Amen.

- Yes, Miss Honeycomb?

- I kept God in it- sent my husband to meet him.

- Amen.

He cheated on me, so I went down

to Miss Dashon down in Chinatown...

got some of that

strong dust pepper...

mixed it in his mashed potatoes.

- He was null and void.

- Null and void.

His head could not lift

from the pillow.

He didn't know what happened to him.

But after that, he ain't cheat on me no more.

- Amen to that.

- Constructive responses, Miss Honeycomb.

- May I help you?

- Excuse me. Sorry I'm late.

I'm sorry.

The men's meeting is Thursday.

I told you this was a bad idea.

- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come.

- Greg, wait.

Mrs. Dunn, I'm sorry.

Greg's my guest.

He didn't want to come, but I insisted.I told

him that he would be more than welcome.

- We beg your pardon.

- Yes, he-

- That's a group decision.

- Sure is.

I know, but Greg has something

that he needs to discuss...

that can't wait until Thursday.

His significant other just left him.

- Significant other?

- Boyfriend.

- Oh, help us, Jesus.

- If my presence offends anybody, I'll go.

Nobody said anything

about being offended.

- This is supposed to be a women's meetin'.

- Sure is.

- Tolerance, ladies.

- Compassion.

Let's remember.

We are all children of God, including Greg.

Now, Greg, the question is,

would you feel comfortable here?

- Feels just like my family.

- Welcome, Greg. Ladies.

- Welcome, Greg.

- Welcome, darlin'.

- Welcome.

- Huh!

So, Greg, would you care to share with us?

Take your time.

The thing that hurts the most-
