- What we gonna do? What's inside

that there building? - Program lettin'out.

Here, take this, boy, and go up

to the other side and give out.

I'll stay here with the one

that follered me.

Now you go to the top of them stairs

and repent, boy, and renounce your sins...

and distribute these tracts

to the people.

I'm as clean as you are.

Fornication, blasphemy.

What else?

If I was in sin, I was in it

before I ever committed any.

There ain't no channe come in me.

I don't believe in sin!

Nothin' matters

but that Jesus don't exist!

Go distribute them tracts

to the people.

I'll take 'em up there

and throw 'em in the bushes.

You be watchin'.

See can you see.

jesus calls you.

jesus calls you.

Hey! Lookee down yonder.

Do you see that blind man

down there?

He's givin' out tracts and benign.

Jesus! You ought to see him.

And he's not this here ugly child.

Now you better get

on the other side, lady.

There's a fool down there

nivin' out tracts.

Don't pay no attention

to that fanatic up there.

Don't I know what exists

and what don't?

Ain't I got eyes in my head?

Am I a blind man?

Let me tell you somethin'.

Maybe you think that you ain't clean

because you don't believe.

Every one of you are clean,

and I'll tell you why.

If you think it's because

of Jesus Christ crucified, you're wronn.

I ain't saying he wasn't crucified,

but I say it wasn't for you.

I'm gonna start a new church...

the Church of T ruth

Without Jesus Christ Crucified.

And it won't cost you nothin'

to join my church.

- Blind preacher here, folks.

- It ain't started yet, but it's gonna be.

I don't need Jesus.

What do I need Jesus for?

I got Leora Watts.

Hawks. Asa Hawks's the name

when you go to follerin' me again.

Sin is a trick on n*ggers.

Sin ain't on my books.

Hey.

Now we got shut of them, why don't we

go someplace and have us some fun?

Heard about there's this house we can go

and have us some fun.

I could pay you back next week.

I got business of my own.

I seen just about all of you I want.

I been here two months,

and I don't know nobody.

People ain't friendly here.

I think I seen you

someplace before.

- You ain't from Stockwell, are you?

- No.

Looked like you had

a kind of familiar face.

Good-bye.

I'm goin' thisaway too.

My daddy made me come.

I ain't but 18 years old,

and he made me come here.

And I don't know nobody, and nobody

here will have nothin' to do with me.

They ain't friendly.

Look a-here. You want a woman, you don't

have to go follerin' nothin' ugly...

like that kid you give a peeler to.

Look, get away from me.

People here ain't friendly.

You ain't from here,

but you ain't friendly neither.
