"Thou shalt not kill. "

- Sonny! Dammit, Sonny!

- No!

Saint Paul said...

I appreciate your friendship, Joe.

I really, really do.

Sit tight in case I start

choking this woman to death.

If I do, you'll know it. You hear?

What are we going to do about this, Jessie?

Give me some kind of answer. What?

I just want out of all this, that's all.

- Out of what? This marriage?

- Yeah.

I have to think about that.

- There's not a lot for you to think about.

- Yeah?

I want to get on with it.

And keep your hands where they are.

- Don't.

- What?

What do you want to get on with?

- My life.

- That's it.

Well, I'll tell you something.

I might make a little noise about all this,

you know that.

- I imagine you will.

- Nobody better mess with my children.

Especially any puny-assed youth minister,

you hear me?

Nobody will.

I assure you of that.

I wouldn't make too much over this,

if I were you.

I know as much about what you have done

as you think I do, you know that.

I guess I do.

- Yeah.

- What?

No. It's OK. Hold on.

It's OK, baby.

Would you get down on your knees with me

just this last time?

- Come on, Jessie.

- Why, Sonny?

I want...

I want us to pray together.

For understanding and possible future

reconciliation for us and our son and daughter.

- No. It's not the time.

- Jessie, come on.

- I don't want to pray with you today.

- Next week?

No.

All right.

We'll see.

Boy, you're something.

We've never had a problem

we haven't been able to solve.

- He's given me my answers.

- Who's given you answers?

- The Lord.

- Our Lord has?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure it was the Lord talking?

We've prayed since before we were married.

My knees are worn out over us.

I don't want to live like this any more.

Because of my wandering eye

and wicked ways?

It goes beyond just that.

I have a wandering bug in me

because I love to evangelise.

But I love my wife and family.

Always have, always will. I love my wife.

I love my beauties, my babies.

Look at me, Jessie.

You know I love you. You know that.

Yeah. I do.

Yeah.

Don't.

God bless you. You're going to need it.

I'm with you all the way.

If you hadn't led me to the Lord,

who knows what jail I'd be in?

- I ain't going to let you forget that.

- I appreciate it.

- You hear me now, don't you?

- What do we have here, Joe?

- Morning.

- Hi, Sonny.

What's going on?

Whose funeral have we got to attend to?

- Don't tell me it's mine.

- I don't know how to begin this.

Open your mouth and get to it.

That's the best way.

Seems that Sister Jessie

don't want you among us any more.

She's gonna take the church from you through

proper channels. That's why we're here.
