ENOCH ON PA:
God is good!

You see, life is a snare,

but come inside

the sanctified walls of God...

Get the man with the hat on.

Come inside the sanctified walls of God,

you shine your light on the outside.

Mr. Mookie, come to Old Timers Day.

-Hell to the no!

-lt figures!

ENOCH:
Get the lady with the shopping cart.

Ma'am, will you come to Old Timers Day?

No. No, thank you.

-You sure?

-No.

Old Timers Day, in four days.

ENOCH:
... 'cause you see,

for on the third day...

Old Timers Day is four days?

l thought it was just one day.

No, it's in four weeks. lt is just one day.

-Yeah, but the kid said four days.

-But the kid has got it wrong.

Old Timers Day was two days,

three years ago.

That was three years ago.

You know,

you're messing up my groove now.

Come here, come here, son, come on.

Mr. Curtis, it was two days...

Take these, and go down

to the other end of the mall.

All right, go ahead.

l don't know what he's talking about,

four days.

ENOCH:
All you have to do, Brother Curtis,

is just look at it.

Old Timers Day.

(ENOCH TALKlNG ON PA lN DlSTANCE)

-Old Timers Day.

-Thank you.

You're welcome.

ENOCH:
...ifyou have faith,

if you just have faith,

and believe in Jesus,

then Jesus will carry you on through.

l'm telling you, children,

Jesus will carry you through.

Old Timers Day.

Anybody?

No?

Ooh!

l'm telling!

Bishop Enoch's gonna burn your little butt!

Come on, l was just playing yesterday.

No! You dead rat meat, boy!

Oh, snap!

My mom was on fire about this thing.

l was looking for it all day.

lt cost big bucks.

More than that?

l don't know. This was my sister's.

-What's her name?

-Angel Morningstar. She's dead now.

Oh. Sorry to hear about that.

l'm still telling on your butt!

Stop sucking your thumb about it!

l just gave you the stupid thing.

-Apologize!

-No.

l'm telling!

All right, all right.

l'm sorry l chased you out the church

with that dead, stinking, smelly rat.

Once more, with feeling, please.

l'm sorry l chased you out the church

with that dead, stinking, smelly, horrible,

funky, Red Hook, Brooklyn rat, okay?

No!

-Not that way!

-What's wrong?

lt's not safe!

That's Blood territory over there.

What's that?

Not a what, a who. They're a gang!

And you don't want to meet them.

Let's go through Paradise.

Yes, but if you come to God,

you come to Jesus,

and take Jesus into your life,

He will show you who you are.

Go back to your home! And stay there!
