[BELL DINGING]

Eight, nine, ten.

Ready or not here
I come.

I am looking for...

Y'all stop all that
running around now.

Lord, help me
with this child.

Grace, let that child
have some fun.

Her momma's been
dead over a year.

It's nice seeing
her have fun.

Her mom?

Child you don't know
nothing about her mama.

Please.

Please what?

Annabelle would still be alive
if she wasn't so stubborn.

She was your best friend.

Uh-huh.

And that woman
was stubborn as an ox.

And I ain't going to
have it out of this one.

Look, Grace...
Althea!

Grace.
Hmm.

I'm gonna get you.

I'm coming.

[GIGGLING]
[BIRD SQUAWKING]

Ah!

Girl, what is
wrong with you?

I'm sorry, Nanan.

This is the Lord's day
and you're running around here

like you got
the devil in you.

Look at what you've done
to that dress.

Do you know how much
that damn dress cost?

You know your mom
is up in heaven

watching you right now?

What do you think
she's gonna say what she see?

Get this damn bag
in the grass.

Come on, little girl.

I don't even know
if this is gonna come out.

That's about as good as
that's gonna get.

Just going to look like
a stray child today.

Go ahead and make sure nobody
fixing come in that door.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

I mean, I spent all morning
trying to make us look nice

and you go and mess it up
in one quick minute.

How you manage to ruin
everything I'll never know.

Come here, girl.

Don't you embarrass
me no more.

Okay, Nanan.

Now let's go
talk to Jesus.

Just as Abraham was
looking for a new world,

he was a stranger
and a pilgrim

looking for a city.

Amen.

Althea,
get your bible out.

Now, we're not talking
about just any other city.

Hallelujah.

No, we talking about
the holy Jerusalem.

[OVERLAPPING]

Where all of God's
preachers live in harmony.

Yes!
Have mercy.

Hallelujah!
Yes!

And praise Jesus' Name.

Amen.

[OVERLAPPING]

Let us stand.
Almighty.

Stand before the, the,
the Holy Ghost as releases.

His spirit.

Can you feel him?

[SUSPENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Yes, God.

Hallelujah.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Raise your hands, child.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Y'all have
a good day now.

May the grace of
Jesus Christ be with you.

And with you.

[BELL DINGS]

Get on up to your room
and change your clothes.

And I better not see
your face until I say so.

Okay, Nanan.

Go ahead on up there.

[DOOR KNOB SCREECHING]

What in God's Name
have you done?

It just slipped.

Move child.

Look what you've done.

The one thing that
your momma left for you,

and you go
and break it.

It just...
Shut up!

And I thought I told
you to change that dress?

Imma tell you something, girl,
Imma tell you a truth.

You ain't never gonna see
your momma again

because your mom is
going to be with Jesus,

and at the rate
you're going,

you ain't never
gonna see Jesus.

Sitting around here,
drawing pictures.

Well, you need to be
reading the Lord's Word.

Clean that mess up.

[DOOR SLAMS CLOSE]

[MURMURING]

You ain't never
gonna see your mom.

You got the devil in you.

You're never
gonna see Jesus.

[BELL DINGING]

[BAND MUSIC PLAYING]

Poor baby.

Lost her momma,
now her Nanan.

Who'da thought.

Grace.

She was a good woman.

Um-hum.

A God fearing woman.

Um-hum.

They said they found her
in her rocking chair.

No!

I heard that too.

Heart attack.

So sad.

So, so sad.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Althea.

Althea?

Althea, did you
hear me calling?

No, Miss Mabel.

I have something
for you.

What is it?

Go on and open it.

I know you miss
your momma.

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

It's not perfect,

but it'd be a shame
if you lost it.

Thank you.

I know Grace would've
wanted it to fix for you.

Is there anything else that
I could get you, sweetie?

Some paper
and some crayons.

Some paper
and some crayons?

Yes, Miss Mabel.

I'll be back with some paper
and some crayons.

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You know your mom is up
in heaven watching

you right now?

What do you think
she's gonna say what she see?

Hello?

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

Is anyone here?

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

Hello?

[CRAYON SCRATCHING]

[DOOR KNOB SCREECHING]

You okay?

What are you drawing?

It's Nanan.

Oh.

She's in a better
place now.

[SOBBING]
Oh.

Oh, Lord Jesus.

Jesus.

Oh.

You put your drawing away,
it's time for church.

Oh, Lord.

Oh!

All righty, Althea.

With this box
we officially moved in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You ain't moved in until
you take that moving

truck back
and bring back our car.

Really, babe?

Yes, really.

I just want
everything over with,

then we can relax.

Yeah.

All righty.
