these old sticks for you.
get you walkin'.
No matter the season, supper
Mol-asses...
-Molasses.
Molasses.
I learned to read
when I was five.
My grandfather was
He brought home every
play for me to read.
"Kind keepers of my
weak decaying age
let dying Mortimer
here rest himself.
Even like a man new
haled from the rack.
So fare my limbs with
long imprisonment.
And these gray locks,
the pursuivants of death,
argue the end of
Edmund Mortimer."
You thought I was
plain ignorant, didn't you?
The actor my grandfather worked
for was John Wilkes Booth.
You never know
what's coming for you.
On saturday nights, momma
would make me go to church.
Benjamin!
Amen!
What can I do for you, sister?
Her parts are all
twisted up inside,
she can't have little children.
Lord, if you could see clear
to forgive this woman her sins
so she can bear
the fruit of the womb.
Out damnable affliction!
Praise God!
Hallelujah!
And what's this old
man's irrediction?
He's got the devil on his back,
trying to ride him into
Out, Zebuchar!
Out, Beelzebub!
How old are you?
Seven, but I look a lot older.
God bless you.
He's seven!
Now, this is a man with
optimism in his heart!
Belief in his soul!
We are all children
in the eyes of God!
We are gonna get you
out of that chair.
And we're gonna have you walk.
-It's all right.
In the name of God's glory,
rise up!
Come on!
Come on, man!
Now God is gonna see you
the rest of the way.
He's gonna see this
little old man walk
without the use of
a crutch or a cane.
He's gonna see that you walk from
faith and divine inspiration alone!
Now walk.
Don't touch him!
Rise up, old man!
Rise up like Lazarus!
I said rise up!
Yes!
Say hallelujah!
Walk. Walk on.
Now, when I look back on it,
it was miraculous.
But you know the saying:
"The Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away."
Praise be to the Lord
on the highest...!
There was so many birthdays.
So we wouldn't run out,
You know I don't like birthdays
and I don't like cake.
And death was a common visitor.
People came and went.
You always knew
when someone left us.
There was a silence in the house.
It was a wonderful
place to grow up.
I was with people who had shed all
the inconsequences of earlier life.
Left wondering
about the weather,
the temperature of a bath,
the light at the end of the day.
For everyone that died, someone
would come to take their place.
I've been married five times.
My first wife and I are captured
