01x03 - They Are Weak, But He Is Strong

Post by bunniefuu »

KELVIN GEMSTONE: What are
we supposed to be thinking?

They just got up and waltzed away?

I think maybe what we've witnessed here

is nothing short of a miracle.

Maybe it was all just like
a figment of imagination.

They certainly felt
real when we drove over

what felt like their skulls.

SCOTTY: I've been thinking
about what we should do next.

We have no leverage.

I got a backup drive, indestructible.

Brother Pastors.

We all have churches in Locust Grove,

and we're scared you're gonna
run us out of our own hometown.

I finally figured out
who the blackmailer is.

Johnny Seasons.

[g*nsh*t]

You want to mess with me?!

You did this.

It was me, I'm going home.

I'll get the money, okay?

If you don't, I will k*ll you.

- Hey, mama.
- Gideon.

Baby Billy,
don't act like you can't hear me

when I'm hollering out your name.

Sorry, darlin', I was lost in thought.

Well, I brought you some warm milk.

[EXHALES] Thank you.

[SLURPS]

Sweet ambrosia.

Tell me about the church
again, Baby Billy.

It's right in town.

Oh, it's right smack

Right where I belong.

Fun chain restaurants,
name-brand clothing stores...

Do you think they have streetwear?

Oh, they got it all.

And now they got Baby Billy Freeman.

[CHUCKLES]

Your husband... [GRUNTS]

is about to become the head
pastor of his own church.

I'm sure proud of you.

I'm proud of myself too.

You haven't known me that long,

but this is actually
more my normal mode...

Being successful, that is.

Reminds me of the good ol' days,

back when my sister was alive.

This seems too good to be true.

I still can't believe we're moving.

Well, believe it, child.

'Cause you are about to enter a world

much larger than your own,

a world full of riches and glamour.

A world full of...

Gemstones.

From the "Fast and Furious" movies, Mom.

I never heard of him.

You're not gonna like
"The Fast and the Furious" movies.

She might. They're action movies,

but they're really more about family.

It's not about family.

It's about people of various

You won't like it.

Besides, Vin Diesel's not

Well, I didn't even really

I mean, I just saw him

That's when we step up.

Plant churches and shut

And what did this church used to be?

A Sears, I believe? Hold up.

Just shake these people's hand.

Just say hello. Say hello.

Hi! I'm Tiffany.

My husband's the star of the show.

You got me opening a church

Ain't too many pastors

a position like this.

Now, I'm used to headlining coliseums.

You asked me if I had a position.

Are you telling me

Well, ain't nobody said they

As children, we had a singing duel.

♪ We would sing and praise His name ♪

- Amen, Amen.
- ALL: Amen.

Toured all throughout the South.

The old Salwell circuit.

Yes, yes, I have been down
the block a few times,

and I got the silver hairs to prove it.

Amen, amen. [LAUGHING]

We are so grateful for this opportunity

to worship and praise His name

here in this place that
used to be a Sears...

A place you could buy
slacks or some power tools,

for all you men out there.

But now you can buy Jesus, amen.

- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
- You can buy Jesus, amen.

But you can't put him on layaway.

[LAUGHS] My wife, Tiffany,
she wrote that joke.

She has a wonderful playfulness

I'd let her speak,
but she ain't very good at it, so...

I'll just speak for the both of us.

- [GIGGLES]
- Gideon's looking tasty.

Staying in shape.

He is. I mean, that's show biz, right?

You gotta keep a tight physique.

It's pretty much mand. That's mandatory.

I mean, depending on what you wanna do.

If you wanna be behind the scenes,

you can be fat as f*ck if you want to.

I'm talking about stars, okay?

You gotta be a specimen.

You gotta be a straight unit
in order to break through.

Mm-hmm, I think
Gideon's got potential for that.

- He's got Mama's eyes.
- Mmhmm.

All right, first off, he don't.

He's got Amber's eyes. Second off,

he ain't even trying to be a movie star.

He wants to be a flippin' stunt man.

Damn crash test dummy.

Really? You're not at
all happy he's home?

No, I ain't happy he's home.

m*therf*cker waltzes in here

like he's the damn prodigal son,
everybody kissing his ass.

Before we shine him up too much,

let's not forget how he
abandoned this family.

I mean, who does that?

A sociopath who only cares
about himself, that's who.

Your daddy has got a stick
up his ass something deep.

Yeah, well, that's how
Daddy is since Mama passed.

All he is is just mean all the time,

never laughing, never having fun.

Staring off into nothing like a f*ckin'
Zoloft commercial.

Well, that saddens me to hear,

but I can't say that I
didn't see it coming.

Eli's a weaker man than he lets on.

Now I don't know about weak, now.

I don't know, Jesse.

His slaps, they don't pack
the same wallop they used to.

Baby Billy, my tooth is hurting.

Well, put some of that cream on it.

I told you we gonna get you checked out

once we get settled here.

What, you got yourself a cavity?

A cavity? What you talkin' about?

Your Aunt Tiffany is a perfect ten,

a Bo Derek ten.

The looks, the bod.

She got the heart, but them damn teeth,

now, they something else.

But even with them old stained,
crooked things,

I still love you with all my heart.

- Come in here.
- BOTH: Mm.

Yes, yes, I am the luckiest man alive.

Like, I know I'm younger than you all,

but I'm just gonna be a regular aunt.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

So y'all just call me Aunt Tiffany.

We don't need to mess with all that.

We'll call you Tiffany,
'cause we don't like formal stuff.

No, no, that's what I
want you to call me.

- Well, come on now.
- Aunt Tiffany.

Come on. She's been real
excited about becoming an aunt.

Now, for old Baby Billy,
y'all just call her what she wants.

Okay. Well, yeah.

Whatever, no big deal.
Hey, Aunt Tiffany.

- There you go.

- How'd you like that?
- All of 'em do it.

I wanna get together everybody

Oh, is that what we settled on?

I wasn't aware that was the deal.

Jesse Gemstone,
our son is back in our lives.

Isn't that only thing that matters?

Well, he brought shame to us
and continues to bring shame to us.

But, yes, sure,
let's throw him a dinner.

I mean, maybe this is the perfect thing.

Maybe this is what he needed.

Maybe he'll be serious about
his faith and he'll find Jesus,

like Paul on that road to Damascus.

But is he Paul, though?

- Or is he still Saul?
- He's not Saul.

Maybe he is.

Hollywood Saul?

He's not Hollywood Saul, okay?

He's sorry. He's sorry that he ran away.

He said that, and you need to give him

another chance because that
is our boy and I love him.

He's such a good boy,

Pontius, why aren't
you eating your food?

I don't like this food, okay?

"I don't like this food."
You don't like anything, do you?

The macaroni's dripping wet,

like someone poured water on it.

No wonder you're getting in
so much trouble at school

with that fresh mouth of yours.

Pontius is trying to
go for the world record

of who can get the most detentions.

Shut the f*ck up, man.

Come again?

[SLOWLY] Shut the f*ck up, man.

Get upstairs right now.

What, you don't wanna hit me
in front of everyone here?

I didn't even say I was gonna hit you.

Throw a pity party for yourself much?

Go upstairs. Now!

[STIFLES LAUGHTER]

- [LAUGHS]
- Stop laughing, Judy.

- It ain't funny.
- Sorry, that was a hilarious...

It's not hilarious.

Sorry you all had to see
him talking to me like that.

That's just how he's been acting

since his brother decided to run away.

Actions have consequences.

Because of one son's actions,

now the other son is a total assh*le.

No, thanks.

- Are you crying?
- No, you dumbass.

I'm just trying to get my head clear.

Y'all just come out
here to make fun of me?

- Kelvin did.
- Oh, yeah?

- So did you.
- Stop, Kelvin.

Daddy, I'm sorry you had to see that.

I'm just trying to
raise my sons in a good,

Christian home, but all my sons wanna do

is just humiliate me
over and over again.

Sons can do that.

Apparently daughters can, too,

talking trash about me to Baby Billy.

Daddy, the only reason
we talked to Baby Billy

was out of concern for you.

Yeah, nobody wants
to see you sad, Daddy.

Uncle Baby Billy was
worried about you too.

Baby Billy's a sack of sh*t.

He always hated me for taking
your mama away from him.

Daddy, I'll admit it.

I pretend I like Baby Billy
way more than I actually do,

but everyone seems to like him so much,

so I just go with it.

Daddy, Baby Billy might
be a sack of sh*t,

but I don't know, Mama always taught us

we should never turn our back on family.

Yeah, maybe you should heed that advice.

[LAUGHING] Ooh. Daddy's right, Jesse.

You should heed it too.

Get your fingers out of my face.

Anyway, I wasn't that rude to him.

I just told him stuff he already knew.

What, that he's a con man?

Yeah, it coulda been a lot worse.

And I didn't say anything
about his wife or her teeth

or her tooth or whatever
she's got going in her mouth.

- [LAUGHTER]
- Aunt Tiffany's mouth.

Right, Daddy?

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, maybe I was rude.
I should go apologize.

I-I should apologize.

And my f*ckin' beautiful face
would've made this church

a cultural phenomenon, but not now.

No, sir.

Eli and his big-ass
ego, he gets none of it,

none of it!

Well, you're gonna show him, Baby Billy.

Well, don't think this doesn't mean,

we ain't gonna get your teeth fixed.

'Cause we most certainly still are.

I don't care if I gotta sell

every fixture in this damn place.

You, get on away from me.
Get on, get on.

I don't even want you next to me.

Take mine, what I'm gonna take.

Go on, take 'em off.
Take 'em off, come on.

What were your plans tonight?

Destroy a temple of the Lord?

Look at you.
Just a couple of country thugs.

Just thuggin' around, just nobodies.

All of you, every single one of you.

Just nobodies.

Tiffany, go flag down a cop.

No, we ain't gonna call the cops.

These men are here on
behalf of Johnny Seasons.

We're gonna send 'em back to
Johnny Seasons with a message.

Tiffany, I still don't want
you here for this.

Now go on down to the food
court and get you a Cinnabon.

- But I don't got no money.
- Well, stand by the counter.

Maybe they'll give out free samples.

Go on, now. Go, this is man's work.

What you lookin' at?
Strip off them clothes.

Pardon me?

You heard me, Lurch. Get naked.

Well now...
now, hold on one second, Eli.

Now, I don't know what you
got in mind here, but...

Come on, you can move faster than that.

Them panties too.

Lemme see bare bottoms.

Let's see them balls. Come on.

The Lord has always been on
the side of the Gemstones.

Always.

Our enemies will suffer
His almighty wrath.

You understand?

Come on. Single file.

- Single file.
- Come on, ducklings.

[WOMAN GASPS]

Now, you boys run on
home just like that.

And tell Johnny Seasons
what happened here.

Go!

I'm sorry I was an assh*le.

I know you've been going through a lot.

I need someone I can
trust to run that church.

Okay, Eli.

- Oh, oh, oh!
