All language subtitles for The Parkers s05e16 Practice What You Preach

All right, I'll see you tonight.

Hey, y 'all. Hey.

I am so excited. My old high school
friend Carla Sampson is coming to town

tonight, and then Del and I are throwing
her a surprise naughty girl party.

What? I don't know. What's a naughty
girl party?

See, it's when the girls get together,
and we dress naughty and act naughty. Uh

-uh. Hey.

Here, what's this?

Sketches for my new men's line. You
like?

Baby, these are good.

But if it's for a man, you might want to
go with less feathers around the neck.

Oh, Mama, you have to see it in person.
What I really need is a cute male model

to help my vision come to life.

Ooh, and I know just the right man.

Hey, boo.

I said cute, Mama.

department. Do you know anything about
this?

Travel to Barcelona?

Bang. Wow.

As a member of SMC's men's faculty
choir. This sounds cool, Professor.

Yeah. Too bad your singing sounds like a
cat drowning.

What do you know? You're a rapper.

Shaquan, please tell me you saved
SpongeBob Marathon on TiVo.

Goodie. Okay, I'm leaving.

Kim,

I need a favor.

That'll be a hundred bucks.

But you don't even know what it is.
You're right. Two hundred bucks.

Look, Kim, I need a vocal coach.

I'm trying to go to Spain with the men's
choir.

Okay, I won't charge you if you wear one
of my creations to your audition.

Okay, fine.

And if you make it, you have to wear it
to Spain.

Okay. And then you have to give me an A.
What?

I did good.

I was just playing.

That's hard to get it, get it. Get it,
get it.

Oh, remember that last naughty girl
part? that Carla threw. Girl, that

naughty. That was downright nasty.

All right, now y 'all better get it
started. Y 'all better get it started.

Nikki,

how you guys going to have a naughty
girl party and not invite Dirty Gertie?

Because we don't like you.

And we're throwing this little get
-together for Carla Simpson.

which gave me an F, which messed up my
school records, which made me lose that

full scholarship to Howard University
and a chance to marry a future prominent

doctor, have his two babies, and a
lovely house on a hill in Virginia.

Girl, cheat or not, that wasn't going to
happen.

Gary, you need to squash that people
caller. Girl, life gets too short. And

can either stay or leave. The choice is
yours.

Well, I'm leaving.

Oh, good.

I have a very special delivery for Miss
Carla Sampson.

Well, she's not here yet, but you can
give us a little take.

Okay. Come on, let me peek in that
package.

I changed my mind.

Well, maybe she a nut.

That's true.

I'm a minister.

No, really.

I'm a minister.

So when I got the offer to come home and
be pastor of Mount Zion, I was so

excited. Well, I can't believe you, of
all people, went and got religious

honors. God, that's a miracle.

It's more than that, Nick. It's about my
personality. personal relationship with

God. And if he can change me, surely
there's hope for the rest of y 'all.

Well, girl, you got any other big
surprises for us? I do. I have a 12

son. Oh, my God.

I don't care if you are a minister. If
the father is a doctor and you have a

house in Virginia, I'm going to slap you
silly.

That's it.

Dirtiest house you to leave.

This ain't over, Carla.

See you later.

Kemp, thank you so much for helping me.
Yeah, yeah, let's get down to business.

Look, Professor, I have a miracle to
work, so we don't have time to wait. All

right. What's the cotton for?

Hello, I've heard you sing.

Look, Professor, I need to know if you
are tenor or baritone, so why don't we

start with do, re, mi? Oh, okay.

Do.

No.

Maybe we should try something simple.
Repeat after me.

No.

Now you try.

No!

honored to be here and thank god for the
opportunity to serve as your new pastor

now we're in a new season of change and
how

many of us know that when something
doesn't change it doesn't grow

excuse me church

reverend samson but something ain't
right in my

head, sister.

True confession is good for the soul.

Brothers and sisters, just recently our
pastor attended a naughty girl party.

Oh, yeah.

Hosted by a certain sister in this
church who shall remain nameless.

Gertie, get your head.

Sister Gertie, you know I can explain.

What are you talking about, Gertie? You
were there, too.

You're missing my point.

I'm not the one trying to be the pastor.

You relax, Gertie. It was just a party.

And did I mention that she has a child
out of wedlock with a married man?

Is that true, Pastor?

Gertie, you know you're wrong.

No, I'm right.

And I just thought they needed to know
who's leading this flock.

And I, for one, don't intend to follow.

Sit down.

I was just going to the bathroom. Well,
then hold it. Yeah.

Rough work down the

job, huh? Oh, amen to that.

For what it's worth, you delivered a
good message.

Yeah, girl, you can really preach.

Thanks, but this isn't the way I
expected to start my ministry.

I explained my situation to the
selection committee, and they were fine

As they should be.

You're not the same person anymore.

Yeah, all that's in the past.

Well, evidently, the congregation
thought otherwise.

Maybe just a few. Oh, come on, Nick.
That was more than half of the

congregation. I bet it was a liquor game
on the day.

Let's keep it real.

They just weren't feeling me.

Carla, they'll come around.

I'm not so sure.

Girl, we got you.

It's 2 .30 in the morning.

And we're late.

Late for what?

Your next lesson, I want to work out
your vocal cords while they're fresh.

Kim, my voice and my body are tired.

Well, a quick run on the beach should
energize you.

We have to run?

Not we.

You. I already know how to sing.

Look, I'm not running anywhere except
back to bed.

Now lock the door on your way out.

Oh.

I hear Barcelona's beautiful around this
time of the year.

Come on, Professor. We both need each
other. I need to get my designs out

and you need that free trip to Spain.

All right.

I'll get my running shoes.

And while you're out, get me some Krispy
Kremes.

Hey, Carla, come on in. Hey, Nick.

Have a seat.

Nick, I think I made a mistake taking
the job at Mount Zion.

What do you mean?

Some people can't see past the person I
was.

And I don't want to cause them to
stumble in their walk with God.

Carla, you have a true calling on your
life.

Please let a few people drive you away.

But that's just it.

I don't know if this is where God called
me to be or if it was just where I

wanted to be.

Well, only he can tell you.

Have you prayed for a sign?

I think the blow -up at church was a big
enough sign.

I thought the sign was to get rid of
Gertie.

You know, you're such a good friend,
Nick.

But I didn't come here to disrupt the
church.

I think it's best that I leave Mount
Zion.

Please, Carla, before you do that,
promise me you'll pray on it.

What are you doing here? Oh, I came to
cheer you on. What's wrong with your

voice?

I'm saving it. Smart.

You forgot this.

Hey, y 'all.

And this.

Too much?

Okay, no hand.

Maybe you should do a quick warm -up
before they call you.

You and your ridiculous idea to have me
run in cold air.

Well, maybe your voice will come back.
With any luck, they'll call you last.

Stanley Ogilvie.

Here goes my ticket to Spain.

No, wait, wait, wait. I have an idea.
Oh, please, no more with your idea.

Come on, follow me.

Professor Ogilvie, this is a solo
audition.

He knows it.

And who are you?

Kim Parker, vocal coach and fashion
designer.

Professor Ogilvie worked real hard for
this audition.

In fact, so hard, he lost his singing
voice.

Well, perhaps you can help him find it.

Wait a minute.

I have his voice right here on this
tape.

Listen, please.

Oh, sorry.

Are we on that show, Punk'd?

I can't explain.

No,

no, I can't explain.

I'm sorry I wasted your time.

And I'm sorry I ever met you.

Wait, Professor Ogilvie. Would you mind
telling us where you found that fabulous

cape?

Yeah, the cute little hat to go with it,
but he didn't want to wear it.

Well, if it helps, I love it.

Lady, your designs are extraordinary.

Are you available to travel with the
choir stylist?

What?

I'm going to Spain.

I'm not going to get drunk.

Well, do what you got to do.

I'm here to tell you that Jesus is on
the main line.

Tell him what you want.

Jesus, make Deacon Jones sit down,
please.

Yes, I tell you, God is good all the
time. And all

the time, God is good.

Because he's just good.

Uh -huh, that's right.

I don't want to grow red.

Now, I was going to ask y 'all to turn
your Bibles to the book of Pesach.

Tell me he did not just say Pesach.

But it appears that I have left mine in
the car.

So I'll be right back.

Pray amongst yourselves.

Church, there's something I'd like to
say.

What? You leaving the church?

No. But because of your pettiness,
someone else has.

Last week, some of you had the nerve to
walk out on a wonderful sister who was

sent here to be a blessing. A blessing?
She was a fast and sinful heathen. Oh,

well, since we're calling out other
people's sins, Gertie, why don't you

about... How'd you got that free cable?

Brother Carter, don't you laugh too
hard.

My girl Shari tells me you're a regular
down at the Pink Pussycat.

Now, in a short time, Carla Sampson was
here.

She opened her heart to the people of
this church.

And it's a shame we couldn't do the same
for her.

I don't blame her for walking out.

Because it was truly his grace that
saved this wretch.

As you know, Mount Zion, I was going to
leave.

But a good friend reminded me to check
with God first.

And I did.

And he reminded me that I was called
here to minister.

So I'm going to stay here and trust God.

And if I touch at least one life, then
it's worth it.

touch me well she hasn't done a thing

for me come on y 'all I know I'm not
alone

Gertie

when we hide unforgiveness in our hearts
then we become bitter and

when we've done someone wrong we're to
ask for forgiveness

So in front of all these people and the
Lord, I want to apologize for hurting

you so long ago.

Will you forgive me?

Dirty, open up your heart.

Yes, I forgive you. Thank you.

Reverend Carla has a good word for us
today.

Oh, glory.

Welcome home, Carla.

Today's message is the beauty of
forgiveness.

Amen.

Evidently the congregation thought
otherwise.

They did.
