came to me the other day and said:

"Where's the best place

to hide something from a Negro...

...and he'll never find it?"

I told him, "A work boot. "

Y'all know he talking about us, right?

People are always asking me...

- Where is she?

- I don't know.

- Ms. Anderson, where's the bathroom?

- Down the hall, second door to the right.

Second door.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, second door.

Ladies and gentlemen, Satin Struthers.

Let's give him a hand.

Great job. Thanks for coming.

Isn't he funny?

There you are.

Why you not in Bible study?

Haven't you heard?

I'm a heathen. Don't want to sit in there

and be a hypocrite.

Well, we already

got something in common...

...because I only came

just so I could ask you out.

The other door. To the right.

Other door. Sorry.

Oh, y'all like that, huh?

Funky dance, huh? You like that.

You like that music? Funky, huh?

It make you want to dance.

Come on.

Get it, Mama.

Yeah, Mama gonna get it.

Mama gonna get it.

And you will too.

You keep dancing like that,

you'll bring home a baby you can't feed.

Let's open our Bibles.

The deal was color television

for an hour of Bible study.

I lived up to my end,

now you live up to yours.

So let's go to Psalms 10--

Reverend Bryce called.

Says he need you to check the books.

The numbers are not adding up.

All right.

What are you watching?

Oh, I love this song.

No, no. Too many hormones

unattended in here.

Let's go. Get out. Come on.

Sister, turn that TV off.

Thank you. Come on, let's go.

- Bye, Sparkle.

- See you.

- Good night, Mama.

- Good night, baby.

It was just getting good.

See you tonight, Sparkle.

- Call you later.

- All right.

See you next time.

- Bye, Tammy.

- Bye, Tune.

Well, good night.

Good night.

Why are all the cute ones

always so stupid?

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

All right, I'm going.

Please, don't stop.

- What are you still doing here?

- That was beautiful.

Wait, that's your song?

You wrote that?

Only if you thought it was good.

I thought it was phenomenal.

Then I wrote it.

So did you write that song

your sister sang...

...at the Discovery a few weeks back?

- Yes, but she kind of made it her own.

- Wait a minute.

You wrote that song?

You wrote the song you were singing?

You wrote the songs in here too?

Yes.

What you gonna do with the music?

- Nothing.

- Why not?

Because my mother

would never let me.

Plus, I'm not the singer in the family.

Sister is, then Dee.

I sing in the choir

so I don't sit by myself in church.

No offense,

but I'm just hearing excuses.

- Excuse me?

- I don't mean to be rude.

I'm just passionate,

especially when it comes down to music.

That's why I'm here.
