You forgot to Mirandize her?

That old woman got the strength

of any man.

I've got to let you go.

You gotta let me go.

- As much as I hate it, I have to.

- Yes, you do.

But I'm gonna suspend

your driver's license indefinitely.

Gonna suspend my license?

My license been suspended.

Hell, you ain't doing nothing.

I ain't had a license for 38 years.

She's gonna suspend my license.

What's that gonna do? I got keys.

I'm gonna order you

to anger management counseling.

She'll take it. Thank you.

We appreciate it.

Go see the clerk. Get the paperwork

done and get her out of my courtroom.

- You're free.

- Free? Look at my neck.

- Hold on. Did you see my eyes?

- Saw your eyes, saw that face too.

You're tore the hell up. I'm free to go.

I know you wish you was going home,

but I'm going home. I'm going home.

Calm down, officer. It's your fault.

You forgot to Mirandize her.

- This is ridiculous.

- Take care, judge.

I love you, but I got to go.

But the saving grace is...

...she couldn't stay out of trouble

if you paid her. She'll be back.

Hey, Joshua.

Hey.

Hey, Ellen.

- Who's this?

- This is Mindy.

Mindy.

Wait in the car, baby.

She's only 14, Josh.

Pimp found her in the bus station,

put her in the streets.

- Well, I'm glad you found her.

- Thank God.

Ellen, I-

I gotta tell you, I think the job

that you're doing with these girls...

...is great.

- Just trying to do the work of my Lord.

- Well, I know you make him proud.

- Well, thanks again.

- All right.

Hey, Ellen. Wait.

I want you to meet somebody. Candy.

This is Ellen Holmes.

She's a minister and she-

- She helps get girls off the street.

- Hi.

Hey.

Here is my card if you need anything.

Do I look like I'm on the streets to you?

No, but you look like

you work in the streets.

You know what, I ain't got no time

for no Jesus jokers.

Fine. Then I ain't got time

for you either, sucker.

See you later, Joshua.

What kind of minister is that?

I know, I know.

She's the real deal though.

So you bailed me out?

Yeah.

Where you wanna do this?

We can go to your car, to your house.

- I'm not tripping.

- What are you talking about?

You bailed me out.

You want something.

- Do you think I want sex from you?

- Well, what you want then?

What about, you know, how you been?

How are you doing?

No man asking a woman how she

doing unless you want something

So, what is it?

What do you want from me, Josh?

Okay. What are you doing

out here on these streets, Candy?

How about you don't worry about that?

I gotta go. I ain't got time-

Candy, hold on. Hold on. Just-

All right. Let me take you

to get something to eat.

You hungry?

Come on.

Please?

- The Lord is so good.
