- OOH, AND BABY, WE SHOULD'VE GOT THAT NEW CAR.

I LOOKED GOOD IN IT, BUT YOU LOOKED REALGOOD IN IT.

- I DID, DIDN'T I?

YOU KNOW, I'M JUST WORRIED ABOUT THROWING A FLASHY CAR LIKE THAT

IN FRONT OF THE CONGREGATION'S FACE.

- IT WON'T BE IN THEIR FACE.

IT'LL BE IN THE PARKING LOT.

- WELL, WE REALLY COULD USE THAT BACK-UP CAMERA. I MEAN,

YOU'VE KILLED LIKE, SIX TRASH CANS SINCE WE MOVED HERE.

- I COULD USE THAT FEATURE IN REAL LIFE, TOO.

[imitates back-up alert] BOOP...BOOP...BOOP...

- COME ON, A LITTLE CLOSER.

TURN A LITTLE LEFT, TOWARD ME. EASY, EASY.

AHA!

ALREADY HOME.

- [clearing throat]

- WHAT Y'ALL BEEN DOING?

- I MIGHT ASK YOU THE SAME THING.

- PRACTICING PARKING.

- WE WENT TO REVEREND J.C. CARPENTER'S

AMAZING TRAVELING GOSPEL SHOW.

- WELL, YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST STAB ME IN THE CHEST

WITH A BUTTER KNIFE.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT J.C. CARPENTER.

HE'S NOTHING BUT A HUSTLER POSING AS A PREACHER MAN.

HELL, I KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS WILLIE JAY BELL,

SINGING BACKUP IN MY BAND.

- WELL, NOW HE MAKES BILLIONS AS A BIG-TI MEGA-PREACHER.

- LYRIC, HE DOESN'T MAKE BILLIONS.

HE MAKES MILLIONS, WITH AN "M."

THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.

HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY TO SEE THIS SCAM ARTIST, ANYWAY?

- TOGETHER? $350.

BUT WE GOT THIS FREE SHIRT.

- [recorded voice] COME ON AND FOLLOW ME AND THE LORD

AROUND THE WORLD! COME ON!

- YOUR SHIRT TALK TOO?

- SEE, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD, IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM.

AND IF HE WAS HERE, I'D TELL HIM THAT TO HIS FACE.

- OH, ACTUALLY, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A CHANCE TO DO THAT.

HE SAID HE WANTS TO COME BY THE HOUSE AND TALK TO YOU.

- HE SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU, DADDY.

- I-- I DON'T WANT THAT MAN--

I DON'T WANT THAT MAN COMING TO OUR HOUSE!

HE'S GOING TO DO NOTHING BUT

RUB MY NOSE IN THE FACT THAT HE'S MAKING BILLIONS.

- YOU MEAN MILLIONS.

- COME ON, BABY, LET'S FACE IT.

THE MAN MAKIN' BILLIONS.

- COME ON AND FOLLOW ME AND THE LORD AROUND THE WORLD!

COME ON!

- WELL, YOU REMEMBER VERONICA,

THE LADY I MET ON COUGARSWITHTIGERS.COM?

- I SURE DO.

- WELL, AS YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN SEEING HER REGULARLY

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS,

AND IT'S GOTTEN PRETTY SERIOUS.

I'M THINKING ABOUT TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

- OH, HEY, LYRIC!

- HEY.

- WE'LL, UH, FINISH OUR CONVERSATION LATER.

- YES WE WILL, TIGER.

[laughs mischievously]

DON'T ASK.

- IS THAT ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS AGAIN?

DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING YOURSELF, SON?

- I'M NOT WATCHING MYSELF,

I'M WATCHING THE BACKGROUND SINGER.

- ISN'T THAT J.C. CARPENTER?

- HM! YOU MEAN WILLIE JAY BELL?

- LOOK, I DON'T APPROVE OF J.C. ANY MORE THAN YOU DO.

HE'S LIKE THE FAST FOOD OF PREACHING.

YOU DRIVE THROUGH, PAY YOUR MONEY,

BUT GET NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE.

- YEAH, WITH LIKE, 3 BILLION SUCKERS SERVED.

- STILL, SEEM TO ME LIKE YOU GOT

A BAD CASE OF THE ENVIES.

"THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL."

- DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GET INTO

A SCRIPTURE COMPETITION WITH ME, SON?

- NO.

I WAS JUST KIND OF EXCITED I KNEW THAT ONE.

[doorbell rings]

- [squealing] OOH! HE'S HERE! I'LL GET IT!

- CALM DOWN, HONEY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEEM OVERANXIOUS. I'LL GET IT.

I DON'T KNOW IF I GOT ENOUGH CORN.

THIS IS A LITTLE OVER THE TOP, ISN'T IT?

- SIR, I NEED TO KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ISSUE HERE.

WE HAVE AN AGITATED MALE, LATE 40s...

- I'M NOT LATE 40s.

WHAT'S UP, B.B.!

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE REPRESENTING HIM.

- HEY, I TRIED TO GET YOU TO SIGN WITH ME FOR YEARS,

BUT YOU WOULDN'T BITE.

THIS TURNED OUT A WHOLE LOT BETTER, ANYWAY.

GATHER 'ROUND, I GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT I WANT TO MAKE.

AFTER A LONG CONVERSATION WITH

MY GOOD FRIEND BOYCE BALLENTINE HERE,

HE'S CONVINCED ME OF SOMETHING.

I'M GOING TO HANG UP MY ROBE,

I'M GIVING UP THE MINISTRY.

- COME ON NOW, I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING LIKE--

- NO, NO, J.C. CARPENTER IS

GOING BACK TO WILLIE JAY BELL. HAVE MERCY.

- WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?

- DADDY, HOW COULD YOU? UHH!

- I DIDN'T DO NOTHIN' BUT HAVE A CIGAR WITH THE MAN.

- ERIC, I KNOW THAT I'M LETTING YOU DOWN,

BUT I CAN'T FACE THESE PEOPLE ANYMORE.

I--I CAN'T TAKE NO MORE OF THEIR MONEY.

- BUT I CAN.

- YOU GOTTA LEAVE THIS HOUSE.

- YOU CAN'T ASK ME TO LEAVE SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE.

- BUT I CAN.

LET'S GO.

- SO, IF YOU'RE GOING TO NEED SOMEONE TO REPRESENT YOU

DURING THIS TRANSITIONAL PERIOD,

I'D LIKE TO RECOMMEND SOMEONE.

HIS NAME IS STAMPS BALLENTINE.

BUT THAT'S YOU.

- PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

- STAMPS, THAT'S ENOUGH, ALL RIGHT?

HE'S GOT A LOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW.

- GO ON.

- SO WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW, WILLIE?

- LOLLI, BABY,

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

- OKAY, ALL RIGHT, SEE NOW, THAT--

THAT'S GONNA BE ENOUGH OF YOU CALLING MY WIFE "BABY," OKAY?

- I SAID, GET THE TRUCK OFF MY GRASS, THAT'S WHAT I SAID!

- WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE?

- SOME IDIOT LEAKED TO THE NEWS THAT J.C. IS STAYING HERE

AND THINKING ABOUT QUITTING.

IT'S LIKE, SIX NEWS VANS OUT THERE,

ALL TRYING TO TAKE A PICTURE.

- ARE THE NEWS TRUCKS HERE YET?

I GOT THREE SHOTS OF J.C. TAKING A NAP.

LOOK AT HIM, SLEEPING LIKE A LITTLE ANGEL.

- GIMME THAT.

YOU ARE NOT SELLING THESE.

- WHY YOU WANT TO TAKE AWAY MY LIVELIHOOD, BRAH?

- DID YOU SEE THIS?

AW, HE GONNA STRETCH MY SHIRT OUT.

- POP, WHAT YOU DOING SITTING IN HERE BY YOURSELF?

- NONE O' YOUR BUSINESS, BOY.

- YOU STILL NERVOUS ABOUT KISSING THAT WOMAN, HUH?

- IF YOU MUST KNOW,

I'VE ONLY KISSED ONE WOMAN IN THE LAST 35 YEARS.

- OH, WOW. MOM, RIGHT?

- NO, A WHORE IN KOREA.

WHO'D YOU THINK I WAS TALKING ABOUT?

NOW WOULD YOU GO, SO I CAN TALK TO LOLLI?

HEY, LOLLI.

CAN I, UH, SPEAK TO YOU IN PRIVATE FOR A MINUTE?

- I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

- WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?

- WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF SOMEONE TOLD YOU THEY WERE

THINKING ABOUT TAKING THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO ANOTHER LEVEL?

- I WOULD SAY THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT HAVING SEX.

- THEN YOUR DADDY IS THINKING ABOUT HAVING SEX.

- WHAT? - YEAH.

AND HE ASKED ME TO BE HIS SEXUAL ADVISOR.

- SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM?

- I DON'T KNOW.

IN MY OLD LIFE, I WOULD'VE SAID INCENSE, WINE, AND CANDLES.

BUT I'M THE FIRST LADY OF A CHURCH NOW,

SO, I'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH THIS.

- THE MAN IS 70 YEARS OLD.

WHY DOES HE NEED TO HAVE SEX ANYWAY?

- WHEN YOU'RE 70, YOU BETTER WANT TO HAVE SEX.

- HEY, SO I JUST LEFT VERONICA'S PLACE

AND I THINK SHE'S GETTING KIND OF IMPATIENT WITH ME.

SHE'S DEFINITELY READY FOR THIS.

- WELL, YOU ARE A VERY ATTRACTIVE MAN.

- THANKS.

- ALL RIGHT, HERE'S THE THING.

YOU REALLY GOTTA MAKE SURE YOU THINK THIS THROUGH,

'CAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS STEP.

- OKAY.

- YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE YOU'RE

100% READY FOR THIS.

- THERE IS ONE PROBLEM.

LATELY, I'VE BEEN A LITTLE CHAPPED.

- WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?

- I'M TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE KISS.

WHAT'D YOU THINK I WAS TALKING ABOUT?

- I THOUGHT YOU WAS TALKING ABOUT HAVING SEX.

- SEX?

YOU GOT A DIRTY MIND FOR A FIRST LADY.

- I JUST GOT THE GIG, GIMME A CHANCE.

ALL RIGHT, KISSING I CAN HANDLE.

YOU'RE GONNA NEED INCENSE, WINE, AND CANDLES.

OOH, AND THIS.

SOME CHAPSTICK.

THIS'LL MAKE YOUR LIPS NICE AND SOFT.

VERONICA WILL BE LUCKY TO GET A KISS OUT OF YOU.

- YOU THINK I SHOULD WAIT FOR AN OPENING?

- HELL NO!

GO IN FULL TILT, SHE'LL LOVE IT.

- I'M GONNA DO IT.

- GO GET 'EM, TIGER!

[several voices, overlapping] - OVER HERE, MR. BALLENTINE!

- OH, GET OUT OF MY WAY! I GOTTA GO KISS SOMEBODY.

- HEY WILLIE, I SEE YOU UP.

ARE THOSE MY PAJAMAS?

- YEAH. YOU NEED SOME NEW FABRIC SOFTENER, TOO.

- LOOK AT ALL THEM OUT THERE, MAN.

JUST WAITING ON ME TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

EVERYBODY WANT A PIECE OF J.C., BOYCE.

WHAT I'MA DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE?

- HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT ASKING THE LORD?

- WELL, NO. I HADN'T REALLY TALKED TO HIM MUCH LATELY,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EVER SINCE I STARTED MAKING SO MUCH MONEY

AND REMIXED THE BIBLE ON TAPE.

- YEAH, I CAN SEE HOW THAT WOULD'VE TICKED HIM OFF.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?

I MAY NOT EVER HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN.

- NOW, YOU GOTTA REMEMBER, HE IS A FORGIVING GOD.

"IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS,

HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US."

THAT'S 1 JOHN 1:9.

- THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU REALLY ARE A GOOD PREACHER.

- YEAH, THAT'S TWO IN ONE DAY.

I'M ACTUALLY ON A ROLL.

- WELL, LOOK AT YOU GO.

YOU THE REAL DEAL, REV.

I BET YOUR SERMONS TOUCH PEOPLE'S LIVES, DON'T THEY?

- OH, I DON'T KNOW.

YES, THEY ARE PRETTY INSPIRATIONAL.

YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY GOT

24 NEW MEMBERS SINCE I STARTED PREACHING.

- IS THAT RIGHT? - YEAH.

- WELL, I GOT ABOUT 400,000 FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER.

- REALLY? - BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I'M NOT A REAL PREACHER.

YOU'RE A REAL PREACHER.

MATTER OF FACT,

I'M GONNA COME AND HEAR YOU SUNDAY.

I WANT YOU TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ME, SAYING,

"J.C. CARPENTER'S AMAZING GOSPEL TRAVELING SHOW

"IS BEING SHUT DOWN."

MATTER OF FACT, I'M GONNA TWEET IT RIGHT NOW.

- UH--NOW, I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

- IT'S TOO LATE, I JUST TWEETED IT.

- LOOK, MY CHURCH ONLY HOLDS 150 PEOPLE.

YOU JUST TOLD 400,000 YOU WOULD BE THERE.

- WELL, YOU GONNA HAVE TO GET SOME MORE CHAIRS.

- OH-HO, IT IS PACKED OUT THERE!

I CAN'T WAIT TO DO MY THING.

- OH YEAH. THE CHURCH IS AT CAPACITY.

ACTUALLY, A LITTLE BIT OVER.

I GAVE THE FIRE MARSHAL A LITTLE TASTE.

- GOOD THINKING, STAMPS.

- STAMPS, WHY ARE YOU IN CHARGE OF THIS?

- ARE YOU GONNA JOB-BLOCK ME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?

- HOW MANY OF MY FLOCK HAS GATHERED ON THE LAWN?

- AW, THERE'S AT LEAST 1,000 PEOPLE OUT THERE.

NOW, WE GOT A BIG SCREEN SET UP FOR EVERYONE TO WATCH

YOUR REACTION TO BOYCE'S SERMON.

- WILLIE, CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SEC?

NOW, FOR SOMEONE WHO'S THINKING ABOUT QUITTING,

YOU SEEM TO REALLY BE ENJOYING THIS.

- NO, I'M JUST SAVORING THE LAST FEW MOMENTS OF MY LIMELIGHT.

THAT'S ALL. THAT'S ALL.

- YOU SURE YOU WANT TO QUIT?

NOW, I'VE READ SOME OF YOUR TWEETS,

AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT COUNT ON YOU.

- YEAH, THEY COUNT ON ME, BUT I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.

I MEAN, I JUST BE MAKING IT UP AS I GO ALONG.

- I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK MAYBE YOU JUST GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE SHOW

AND FORGOT TO GIVE GOD THE SHINE.

BUT NOW THAT YOU KNOW THIS, MAYBE YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB.

- I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO STOP HARASSING MY CLIENT.

- I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO SIT DOWN BEFORE I HARASS YOU.

WILLIE, IF YOU CAN QUIT BEING A PREACHER, THEN QUIT.

BUT IF YOU CAN'T, YOU'VE BEEN CALLED.

- I COULD QUIT.

- ALL RIGHT, I'MA GO TELL EVERYBODY.

- WE'RE ON THE MOVE.

- STAMPS, WHY ARE YOU TALKING INTO YOUR SLEEVE?

- 'CAUSE THAT'S HOW WE DO.

- HI, VERONICA.

SO, HOW'D IT GO LAST NIGHT, TIGER?

- JUST FINE.

- AMEN, AMEN.

- AMEN, AMEN.

- NOW, I KNOW THAT A LOT OF YOU CAME HERE TO SEE J.C. CARPENTER.

- YES! - YEAH!

- I'M SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU, BUT HE WON'T BE HERE.

- AW! - OH!

- J.C. IS AT A CROSSROADS.

SEE, ONE ROAD THAT HE COULD FOLLOW

LEADS HIM TO FAME, MONEY, AND THE LIMELIGHT,

WHILE THE OTHER LEADS HIM TO--

- I'M GONNA TAKE THAT FIRST ROAD!

- OH! - WHOO!

- HELLO, EVERYBODY! I AM BACK!

[cheers and applause]

NOW, LOOKY HERE.

IT'S TAKEN A REAL PREACHER TO HELP THEPREACHER

FIND HIS WAY AGAIN.

- ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT! - YEAH!

- WELL, WELCOME BACK TO THE MOUNTAINTOP, BROTHER.

- THANK YOU. I'LL TAKE IT OVER FROM HERE, OKAY?

- NOT IN MY CHURCH, YOU CAN'T.

[laughter]

- I COULD NEVER QUIT PREACHING.

I TRIED AND I TRIED, BUT IT'S LIKE,

IT'S LIKE A FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES.

- WHOO! - YEAH!

- AND IF YOU FEEL THAT FIRE THIS EVENING,

LET ME HEAR YOU SAY "YEAH"!

- YEAH! - YEAH!

- SEE, I DON'T THINK YOU FEEL THE FIRE.

UH-UH, AND I DON'T THINK YOU SEE THE LIGHT.
