[Phone rings]

Look, babe, we had a good time, right?

So... I assume that you're a big girl

And that you're taking something.

So just get an abortion.

What's the big deal?

Honey... honey, honey, honey, you're... you're groveling.

That's a very unattractive.

Look, just dump the kid and we can kick it again, all right?

I'll even pay for it.

Listen, send me the bill and my check will be in the mail.

Honey, I got to run.

I gotta go.

Ciao, baby.

[Music playing]

Hi.

Can you talk?

Is he there?

Did he leave already?

Good.

So we've got the whole weekend again.

Perfecto.

So... uh... listen, honey, I've got this new fantasy

About dressing up in your husband's clothes

And playing Captain Kirk and going where

No man has ever gone before.

How's that grab you?

Yeah.

You get the hang up.

I'll see you later.

Wow.

Hey, bartender, when you get [inaudible], can I borrow it?

No my brother, you got to get your own.

[Music playing]

You should use a cigarette lighter.

The flame lasts longer.

I'll have to remember that.

Can I buy you a drink?

Well, now that's something I'd definitely

Consider it, simple that's sort of against the house rules.

Then why don't you let me make you a drink

At my house under my rules?

[Music playing]

TEMPTRESS: Come on in.

The door's open.

Do you always leave your door open like that?

Or was it because you just couldn't wait to see me?

TEMPTRESS: That's it.

Just couldn't wait to see you.

That's so nice to hear.

But then again, it always is.

TEMPTRESS: Oh, I see.

You here that often, do you?

[Chuckles in response]

This is quite a place you have here.

TEMPTRESS: I did it all myself.

So, how do you like the bed?

Now, I think you can tell a lot about a woman

By the kind of bed she sleeps in.

Now, this freaky bed says to me that you are one hot natured

Freakazoid that can't wait to jump my bones,

Because you know I've got to keys to your place.

Hot as she is, why would she want to cover the mirror?

[Music playing]

[Moaning]

[Bell tolling]

MINISTER GARTH: Blessed is the man endured temptation

That hath no temptation taken you

But such as is common to man.

That God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be

Tempted upon that you are able.

Let me say that again.

[Thunder]

Blessed is the man that endures temptation.

I want you to spend some time with grandma.

Something wrong daddy?

WOMAN IN CAR: There's a person.

My god, it's a woman.

You're going to hit her.

Stop it.

Stop it.

[Screaming]

[Thunder]

GRANDMA: You all right?

I just had this really weird dream.

GRANDMA: I know.

So did I. When you're mom and dad in that horrible car

Accident, I took you in.

And raised you up, just like I did your daddy.

All three of us knew you were special,

Because you just looked like you had been

Blessed straight from birth.

The older you got, the clearer your future became to me.

You work hard, baby.

And now, after this summer, you will

Complete your evangelistic training

And go on to become the world renowned minister

We both foresee you doing.

But you know, the forces of hell are a little to real for that.

What I'm saying is, when you are just one

Step away from reaching your goal

That actually is a crossroad.

And it's OK to look both ways.

[Music playing]

I'm going to have to get to the airport.

I have a flight.

I'm going to work on this new film project with Bruce Lee.

Between you and me, Bruce is not dead.

[Music playing]

Hi.

Hi

Can I buy you a drink?

Well, that's how it usually starts.

Hey, bartender, do you sell... uh... champagne?

Course, unless you like champagne, in which case

We can get ourself a bottle.

I love champagne.

As a matter of fact, do you sell Cristal here?

Do you sell Perrier Jouet?

Well, would you happen to have 1972 bottle of Dom Perignon?

Yo, yo, less sparkling, you got any Henri?

I just get so excited about ordering champagne.

Besides I love it so much.

What's your name?

Huh?

Your name?

My name?

Uh, huh.

Uh... John.

John.

That's funny because you look like the kind of guy

With a name like Norman maybe.

Why don't we take the champagne back to my place.

Or am I being too forward?

No, not at all.

That's the way I like it.

Yeah.

Hey, bartender.

Um... yeah, here, keep the change.

No, give me my change.

Look, uh... Norman, why don't you make up your mind?

Keep the change.

Have a good night.

Thank you.

Last night, while he was trying to pick me up,

He told me he was a surgeon.

A surgeon?

Well... I... I... I am a surgeon.

You know, but I just like... well,

Like, I'm a kung fu surgeon.

You know, like, I... I, you know, operate on people who like,

You know, get hurt doing kung... Kung and fu and all that.

You know, but haven't I seen you before?

No, I don't think so.

I remember where we were... in my dreams.

[Moaning]

Oh, yes.

[Heavy breathing]

[Moaning]

NORMAN: This is too good to be true.

Oh.

You're right.

It is.

[Gasps]

Don't move.

What's... what's going on?

[Moaning]

[Music playing]

[Evil cackling]

K (ON ANSWERING MACHINE): Hey, this

Is K. I ain't in right now.

If this a girl, beep me.

If it's a fellow, leave a message.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yo, yo, this

Is K. I'm back in time.

Speak on it quick.

JOEL: K. - Who dat?

Joel.

Joel?

Joel, what's happening, man?

God, I ain't talk to you in a while.

Why don't you call me back, man?

How you doing?

K: Joel, little brother, what's going on with you, old man?

Why you never call me back?

What do you mean why haven't I been calling your back?

Why don't you call me back?

Somehow, I didn't get your message.

Oh, well, probably not getting it, since grandma

Labeled me public enemy number one

Since I committed a crime somehow

By moving up to New York.

But Grandma is Grandma.

And I love her anyway.

How's she doing, man?

She's all right.

Um...

Oh, yo, man, is Grandma digging all in your ass and shi...

I mean, giving you a hard time, partner?

JOEL: Yeah, it's deeper than that.

Listen, K, I'm really feeling like I need

To take a break from things, so that I can... uh...

Just clearly look at things.

Joel, say no more.

My place is your place, brother.

When you coming?

Seriously.

You're damn skippy.

I really, really, really, really appreciate this.

Thanks, K.

Hey, hey, hey, we'll have none of the mushy stuff.

We're macho men. Remember that.

I'm in New York now.

I don't play that.

K: You got to see the previews for my new flick, man.

Is hell.

They got me busting down knuckleheads left

And right all on the corner.

I'm taking them out.

No

Yep, yep.

K: Now you know I got to go back and talk about old times

When we used to call each other homey.

I can believe I said shit... stuff like that.

Oh, I got something for you.

Remember, back in the day...

JOEL: No, no, no.

Bitch, what the hell's wrong with you?

I mean, how am I supposed to explain this to my...

Wife, Norman?

Yeah, I know who you are.

Those marks are nothing compared to what

You're going to get later.

Honey, I've given you something there's no cure for.

It's going to grow and grow until it consumes you.

You don't look like you got anything.

(DEEP VOICE) Is that what you're going to tell your wife?

I never did this before.

I mean, this is my first time.

I mean, I just thought I could just walk away.

I mean, must walk away.

I mean, women are supposed to like that.

Get of here.

I'm tired of looking at you.

I don't want to lose my family.

Honey, I think you have some breakfast waiting for you.

[Laughing]

[Laughing echoes]

Oh, my god.

No.

Oh, my go.

No, no.

[Screaming]

Grandma, I'm going to leave you here for this trip.

[Whirring sound]

GRANDMA (VOICEOVER): When you are just one step away

From reaching your goal in life, that actually is a crossroad.

And it's up to you to look both ways.

[Music playing]

Excuse me, bartender, can I have a vodka tonic, please?

Can I get you something?

Tell something.

Of all the men in this bar, am I really that obvious?

Well, excuse me, honey.

I go to more sophisticated gay bars than this

And you look somewhat familiar to me.

Really, no offense.

I'm just here for some conversation.

I'm really not looking for anything tonight.

If you still want to buy me that drink,

I'll take Remy Martin, please.

$5.00 drink from a $2.00 mugging, bitch.

Man, looks like mine.

I want us to get drunk tonight.

Hey, what...

Playing hard to get, huh?

Hey, man, she was hitting on me, man.

Girl got mad because I wouldn't give

Up that phone number action.

She's too skinny anyway, man.

I like them big girls, man.

That girl got a welfare butt, man.

You know what?

From this spot here, them honies is

Going to be all over me, man.

I'm telling you, man.

They be hitting on me like a hurricane in here, man.

Ask that other bartender.

He'll tell you.

You know him?

BARTENDER: No.

Yeah, he's a nice brother, man.

I like them a lot, man.

We were starting to hit it off.

And then my man stopped coming around, man.

I ain't heard nothing from him.

BARTENDER: Really?

Yeah, you know what the messed up but is?

He never got a chance to tell me about his date with home girl

Other there.

See what I'm talking about with them long, gold fingernails.

Of course, I see.

She's the baddest babe in here.

So did you hit on her too or what?

Hey, no bet man.

Something about her, man.

I don't know what it is.

But she just weird.

You know what I mean?

I mean, she got those spooky eyes, man.

I can't put my finger on it, man.

But home girl, she just ain't the move.

You know what I mean.

No, I don't know what you mean.

But then it really doesn't matter,

Because I'm probably the last happily married man

In the world.

TEMPTRESS: Bartender.

Uh oh, speak of the devil.

JOEL (VOICEOVER): Grandma, I'm turning 21 soon.

I really feel like I need to take

A little break to be sure that this is what I want for me.

I'm really feeling like nothing seems normal about my life

To me.

Everything seems out of place.

[Music playing]

I'm a race car driver.

[Music playing]

You sure you want to stand here, darling?

Well, if you don't mind.

Lighter?

I don't mind at all.

So?

So?

Hey, bartender.

Beer, please.

[Music playing]

It's your choice.

Where we're going, it's much better.

At least with me it's much better.

Let me do a tab.

I'll be right back.

Please, tell me that this chair is empty because you're alone.

Can I... mind if I sit down?

That might be nice.

It's going to be more than nice.

I'll see to that.

You look familiar to me.

K: Oh, you might have seen me in a couple of flicks.

I'm an actor.

Maybe "Shakedown on Areda Avenue," "Born in Bedstock,"

"Two Tough Cookies."

OK, wow, I love you.

K: See, that puts me at a disadvantage.

TEMPTRESS: Why's that?

Well, I don't know who you are.

Can I ask you something?

Please, ask me anything?

Could I have an autograph?

K: Oh, yeah...

It's... it's not for me.

It's for my little brother.

What's his name?

J.

K: J, like Judosky?

No, James.

All right, to James, my man.

[Rumbling sound]

Thanks.

[Music playing]

K?

K. K.

Ah, Hi, um... sorry.

Um... listen, you got my digits and I got yours.

Let's keep this thing going, OK?

Well, the night's still young.

Mm, yes, it is.

It is.

It is.

But, unfortunately, my partner Joel is coming to town

And I have to meet him and get him set up and tuck him in

And all that big brother stuff.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

Listen, we got to do this again real soon.

Yeah.

Promise?

I promise.

OK.

Let me go pay for the check.

OK.

[Growling]

Oh, I forgot to ask you your... name.

What the... that sure... yeah.

[Distant siren]

Hey.

Oh, boy, I almost... I almost messed you up.

Don't you know not to sneak up on a brother

Wearing that GI Joe?

What's the matter with you?

- What? - What?

What?

Coming dressed like Gomer Pyle.

Come on.

The neighbors would have seen that

And they would have known you were waiting at my door.

It would have been a scandal.

Well, this is home.

Listen, I... um... I just wanted to say

That I don't... you're not on trial here.

And I'm not here to judge you.

I'm not... all I want... I'm just here... I just want to hang.

All right, we'll hang.

Look at you.

It look good, right?

Look at you.

Sharp as a tack.

You don't look like somebody I went to the school of ministry

With.

Ooh, the school of ministry.

Joel, that seems like ages ago.

Man, I love what you are doing and that's for you to do.

But the... uh... the move for me was to get out of there early

And come do this acting gig, because it's the only thing

I know how to do.

I know what this over here.

What?

I know what this is.

Oh.

This must be...

Yes.

Is this Bertha?

That's my girl.

That is my girl.

We have been through three sequels together.

And... uh... it's my favorite film souvenir.

I don't get to use it much except when

I go out to the range.

But love it.

I can't get... be careful.

Why?

I keep the knives sharpened and I keep the guns loaded

Because movies is one thing, but... uh...

Life is a whole lot tougher.

So you really think that coming to New York

Was the right thing to do, huh?

We'll have none of the mushy stuff.

I told you I got guns and knives and bachelor clocks and radios.

This manly shit... we're going to do one hug, and then quit it.

All right?

Let me close the curtains so nobody...

How do you like New York so far?

New York is stupid, wild... Is that... no... now you

Said it like that earlier now.

Come on.

Why you going to do this to me?

You got them ugly brown shoes on.

Now, you're trying to get down with that... you just... you

Preach.

I'll teach.

All right?

OK, anyway.

New York is um... New York is wild.

There like these massive amounts of people.

It's not like there's this little

Over here, little over there.

Everywhere.

Everybody is like a character.

Yeah, but let me tell you something, man.

There is a lesson in what we saw today.

And yes, the teacher will help you to them.

OK, OK.

What you saw today, young brother,

Were victims, economics, and violent Reaganomics.

And I say that to say that the small town

We come from and the people there, they... they are reality.

But no more so than the knuckleheads and the people

That you bumped into walking down the streets of New York.

You can't be sheltered from the truths of our life

And then go out and do your ministry.

Right? Right.

You've got to climb up and see over

On both sides of that fence.

You digging what I'm saying.

Yeah, but... what you're saying then essentially is that

It's... essentially it's unfair to orate

From a glass house perspective is what you're saying.

Well, if you want to condense my speech, man...

Well... I... you're just a tad bit long winded.

Hey, partner, this is my house.

I'll talk as long and as loud as I want.

I pay the rent here.

Don't you come from North Carolina

Telling me how long to talk.

Just get the point.

Joel, no seriously, the streets are real.

They're too real.

Oh, man, I almost forgot.

I met a woman.

What did you say you met a wo'om?

Yeah, buddy.

I'm starting to hear a little bit of that country come out.

Oh, why... yes, yes 'um.

I met a woman.

I got to tell you about her.

Michael Jackson said he was bad.

He didn't know what bad meant.

This honey I met the other night was bad.

- Bad? - Bad.

Who's bad?

Super bad.

You know what I'm saying?

All right.

All right.

OK?

Well?

OK All right, man.

First off, right of the bat, she ain't no joke.

She's sweet.

No one comes here without an appointment

Or unless I bring them here myself.

And there's more.

She's really polite.

Is there a problem?

No.

And she like looks sexy.

She is sexy.

But she comes across innocent.

Did I do something wrong?

Yes.

Do not kiss me.

Don't get me wrong.

I ain't bitten or smitten, none of that.

Cool.

But... uh... this is someone I really think I

Could... uh... get to like a lot.

My guess is... uh... She's a pussy cat.

[Screaming]

We should swing by the club where I met her, because... uh...

She'd probably be there.

And I want to see her again.

And you'd like it because the bar is New York down

And it would trip your little country ass.

Oh, but... you know that I don't drink

Well, we can get you some milk.

Can we take the milk and like put it in a beer mug

And like could we say... Well, actually can we slide

The thing all the way down?

What?

You want him to sling it down like the Westerns?

No, no, like adults do in a bar.

You's a country boy.

[Gasping]

Go back there...

What do you want me to wear?

No, no, no, no, you're not going to put that on.

Don't never touch none of that garbage again.

Go back there and just... go back.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. no.

No, no no, Joel, snappy.

No.

Yeah?

- I... uh... - Yeah?

I don't what to tell you.

See, I try to do the hat like you.

Um...

See, I tried to do the hat like you.

No, you better get back in there, brother.

This has got to be better.

This has got to be better.

This... that's not too bad.

That's not too bad.

Yeah?

If you change the pants though.

Go ahead, kid.

Look at you.

Look at you.

Can I get five in this town?

Damn.

Looking kind of sharp.

Look at the Jordans.

Like father like son.

Easy now.

[Music playing]

Hey, uh... excuse me.

I don't want to stare at you or nothing.

I know that you're trying to be low key and everything,

But I know that you know that I know who you are, right?

I saw you in that magazine.

Yes, I was featured in...

Penthouse, right?

Right?

I got that at home.

I got it on my wall right next to the bed.

Really?

Well, you're mistaken, because I was featured in Vogue, darling.

Yeah right.

Look, darling, I don't never forget no... anyway that was you

I saw.

I said it wasn't me.

Who are you?

Hey, doll, long time no see.

I know.

What do you say, let's get out of here

And go rocking for old times sake, all right?

I'd love that, sweetie.

Yeah

Yeah, it was you too.

So go on with that old don't you want

To dance tonight suit wearing...

The car, did you change the combo?

Move the car?

You look kind of happy there, dude.

I... um... I um... actually...

Actually?

Um... I... I met someone.

Get out of here.

You met someone... I... I been here two minutes.

Two minutes I was gone and met someone without my help?

You met someone?

But there's... it gets even better.

OK

- She's pretty. - She's pretty?

She's probably blind.

But that's cool.

You got on my suit.

You're looking prime.

Hey.

This is...

A lady [inaudible].

Joel, this is cute.

But...

I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met before.

In fact, I'm sure of it.

But so nice to meet you.

Joel, I asked the bartender to make

Me that drink I told you about.

He's going to order it. Right now?

Uh, huh.

Oh, OK, well, let's go.

That's cute.

You all go have a good time.

All right, come on now, Joel, come on back.

Hey, stop playing.

Bring my girl back over here, man.

Joel.

Hey, wait. Hey, wait.

Hey, yo.

I ain't trying to cock block or nothing,

But we are looking in the same direction.

And if you're checking out home girl over there

In red dress with the young boy, let me

Tell you, man, she's bad news.

Thank you very much, brother.

But I'm already hip.

That girl's on a mission.

I ain't not punk or nothing, man.

I'm 100% man, but, hey, that bitch

Scares the shit out of me.

Scares you?

I know why too.

I think know the deal on her.

[TV playing quietly]

So... um... what happened with you and the lady in red.

Looked like you all was having a good time.

We talked.

Had a drink.

K: You had a drink?

You sure did.

I saw you.

It's funny.

You know, Joel, it didn't look like milk in your glass.

There wasn't milk in the glass.

But there wasn't alcohol in the glass either.

OK?

K: Let me ask you a question, Mr. Non Alcohol.

We're both men.

And we both know attractive women when we see them.

Let's say you and a certain attractive woman decided you...

Uh... really dug each other.

And she gets you worked up.

Would you jump in them drawers?

Would you jump in them drawers?

- No, I would not. - Why?

You know that I wouldn't.

It's against everything that I believe

In, everything I've been taught, everything that...

No, I wouldn't.

Fornication is a sin.

I... I don't even know why you're asking me this.

All right, cool.

Look, Joel, you said yourself that New York is wild, right?

JOEL: Right.

K: Right?

Yeah, right.

K: OK, I'm just trying to protect

You from all this craziness.

Well, you know what?

I'll tell to what, I can take of myself.

All right?

All right, bad ass.

JOEL: Fine, so it's no secret.

We all know Joel as been sheltered.

But you know what?

I can take care of myself.

I don't understand what the big deal is.

I can handle myself.

I don't understand.

I don't want to fight.

You can't fight.

What do you mean I can't fight, punk?

Give me five.

Give you five.

Can't fight though.

And don't call me no punk.

What do you want me to call you?

My baby, God, please take care of my baby.

Joel is the last one of his line.

Soon it's all going to be over.

All of it.

[Knocking]

Hi, Joel.

Hi.

I met you that one time at the club with Joel, right?

Um... I... I'm just want to grab something real quick.

And I'll be right back.

OK.

Hurry up though We want to take advantage of this gorgeous day

Out.

OK.

No, dear, I believe it was twice we met at the club.

TEMPTRESS: Really?

Yeah, really.

What was you name again?

You know god damn well what name is.

Let me ask you question.

What kind of dope are you smoking, baby?

What kind of... what kind of game are you...

[Tense music playing]

Something wrong, K?

I... uh...

[Foot steps]

JOEL: I'm ready.

OK.

Bye, K. We'll be seeing you again real soon, I'm sure.

Joel?

Now, wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, I know what I just saw.

Oh, girl, you got a nuclear butt.

You know that?

You've got one of them explosive booties.

Boy, you're breaking my cameo phrase, owe.

You're on my cameo now.

I'm the lead singer.

Word.

Dougy, you got to believe me.

Hey, man, what's wrong with you?

You look like you had to sit through a Cher video twice.

Bartender, get this kid a beer quick...

No.

It's an emergency.

No, I don't need a beer.

Beer's not going to help me. Beer's not going to help us now.

- Us? - Us.

It's about that chick we was talking about, man.

That weird thing?

Yes.

It's like I told you.

We practically boned up on top of the bar the night

I met here.

She comes over to my crib, looking for Joel.

You mean, the young kid she was with?

For Joel.

Now that's my homie boy.

Come, come, now.

I figure she got to be flinting.

So I wait till Joel leaves the room.

And I call her on it.

I say, yo, baby, what kind of dope you smoking?

What kind of games you playing.

I look at her.

I look back. I look at her.

I look in the mirror. I look at her.

I look in the mirror.

I swear to you, she was not casting

A reflection in the mirror.

Now, Dougy, I'm not crazy.

Dougy, I know what I saw.

Dougy, this ain't no joke.

Don't laugh, man.

Come on, man.

What are you on?

The pipe or what?

Yeah I'm on the pipe now.

Hey, man, you've been working too hard.

You're tired, man.

You know, you get tired.

You're exhausted.

You see things that ain't there.

Dougy, you sit your fat ass at this bar

And get dissed by every babe that comes in here.

I'm out of here. Peace.

Hey, hey, hey, I'm not fat, pal.

And I don't think you're crazy either.

You know what I'm talking about.

DOUGY: We're a branch of the federal government

That specializes in murder under strange circumstances.

K: I don't believe this.

I do not believe it.

DOUGY: The supernatural could be responsible for a significant

Percentage of unsolved murders.

Are you telling me now that along with criminals,

We get ETs and zombies killing people, man?

About a year ago, I was assigned to investigate

The case of a man who admitted himself

To a psychiatric hospital claiming

He had slept with the devil.

He said he could feel snakes crawling around in his stomach.

As he was about to tell me who she was,

The snakes began to crawl out of his mouth.

Are you bull...

Of course, the hospital swept the incident under the rug.

And I was assigned to do the follow-up.

I followed the patient's lead and ended up at the bar.

I've been watching her ever since.

She leaves with men.

And you never see them again.

OK, so you've been tracking her.

And I ain't lost my mind.

I still got it together.

There's no way out of this thing,

K. I'm going to need some help.

What you saying?

The truth is I've been at this job for years.

And this is the first legitimate lead I've had.

I want her.

And I want to close the rule book to get her.

Besides, if I wait on my superiors to deliberate,

I think it'll be too late.

And?

What you saying?

You said she didn't cast a reflection in the mirror.

That's right.

I believe you.

But nobody else will.

It's your call.

JOEL: I... I take it then that you like to travel?

TEMPTRESS: Well, we could just say that I like to meet people,

Yourself included.

I hope to travel around the world one day.

I think my job will call for it.

Well, I would imagine so.

Being a world renowned minister takes a lot.

I'm sure.

It definitely, definitely, does, 'cause see... it's funny,

I... I'm sitting here thinking, I don't

Remember ever mentioning to you that I

Wanted to become a minister.

How did you know that?

You just seem to have that aura about you.

Plus, your mannerisms tend to give ti away.

I know, because... well, let's just say that I've met

A few ministers in my travels.

Really?

Uh, huh.

Why don't you tell me more about your ministry, Joel.

Yeah I... I've been studying for a long, long time.

Um... I'm sort of kind of taking a break right now.

Well, tell me, Joel, how does one just

Simply take a break from God?

I felt that by traveling I could best see...

I'd have an opportunity to best see how I could serve humanity.

Is that right?

Yeah.

[Bell rings]

K: No, no, it was "Shake Down Areda Avenue."

DOUGY: Oh, that was good.

K: You like that one.

Anyway, we went to Areda.

[Music playing]

Oh.

I come to share with you divine wisdom.

Together let us delight in the last word

Rediscovered through the resurrection of the mysteries.

What have you come for.

Great Madame Sonya, we come about a woman.

And this woman or whatever it is, we have reason to believe

Has dead before.

Come.

This thing is the very nature of negativeness in mankind.

It exists in every inclination toward hatred

And in every tiny desire that would

Threaten conscience of man, the part

Of man that seeks God and good.

I'd probably be considered a sinner.

But I so much want to do what's right, Joel.

Who knows, maybe you'll be the one to counsel

And help me one day.

This spirit, which can only be referred to as it,

Uses sexuality to hold morality hostage.

Its reason for being is to seduce the subconscious,

The conscious, yay, the very soul

So that it might remain in a fallen, lustful state

Of existence.

I knew from the first moment I say you I... had the feeling

That I could come to you.

I don't know, it might sound corny.

But I have the feeling that our destinies are tangled somehow.

Do you know what I mean, Joel?

Um... um...

It incarnates in the flesh periodically to prey

On weak-minded by imitating the very spirit of his victim,

Its adversary for the purpose of seducing and destroying that

Soul.

In the game of sensual manipulation it is unrivaled.

She could only achieve a real victory through the destruction

Of a truly innocent person, someone like you

Joel, who is the very last of his ancestral line left

Alive to teach what is right.

So then it lured Joel to New York.

It's an ancient demon.

And its name is Temptation.

There's only one way that it can be completely destroyed.

That is for man's total being and spirit

To remain focused upon and to be completely

Submissive to the utmost reality, which of course, is

God, because in that highest of truths

It has no foundation, no substance of power.

Now, wait a minute, wait, wait.

I read in a book somewhere or seen in TV or movie.

There's got to be some kind of way to at least lay a soul

To rest or something like that.

Are you OK?

I'm... I'm... I'm OK.

Would your excuse me for a minute?

DOUGY: Couldn't we lay the soul to rest if we decompose

The body with holy water and then

Cut out the heart while it's still beating

And bury it beneath hallowed ground?

That's... that's some freaky... We ain't got to do all of that,

Man?

Do we have to do all that?

[Gasping]

[Roaring]

You think that I do not know that you are there?

You fools.

You dare to make war against the beast and expect to live?

I'm out of here.

Listen, is... are you OK?

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just a headache.

But I do have to go home and lie down.

OK.

OK.

Well, um... is there anything at all that I can do?

Do you need aspirin?

Do you need... are you OK?

Is everything... Can I do anything?

No, but thank you for asking.

Look at you.

You are so sweet.

[Tense music playing]

[Thunder]

[Evil cackling]

[Dramatic music]

You must not fool me.

[Indistinct chatter]

One bloody Mary.

[Thunder]

[Tense music]

Come to the fold.

Come to the fold, Joel.

Be good, Joel.

They're supposed to conquer.

[Crashing sound]

Oh, God, take care of my boy.

We got to talk.

Is that woman in the house?

No, she's not here.

All right, Joel, Joel, listen to me.

Listen to me.

That woman... and I don't know why you can't see this,

Man... is crazy.

She is a murderer.

Remember, I told you that I met babe

And I was really excited about her.

I said she was sweet and sweet and innocent and sexy

And all that bull?

Same bitch.

She came onto you in the bar that night

And suited you the same way she came onto me.

And then she got the balls to walk in my house

And act like she don't know me.

I'm telling you something ain't right.

Something ain't right.

Why wouldn't you just say that when she was standing right

There in front of both of us?

I didn't say anything about it then because I didn't want you

To think that was a little bit jealous, even if I

Was just a little bit jealous.

A little jealous?

Joel, don't start.

I can't believe this.

Open your eyes.

I know for a fact man, this babe is something ain't right.

TEMPTRESS: No.

Maybe it's something wrong with you.

Joel, that's not true.

Joel...

What is this I'm smelling?

You've been drinking.

You're running in here telling me... you've been drinking.

You can't...

Joel, brother, you don't know.

I've bumping into some strange since you came around.

I've been drinking.

But it ain't at all about a drink now.

JOEL: So what's it about?

What's it all about?

It's... I feel responsible for you.

OK?

And I'm taking responsibility.

Go back to your small town so you

Can swat flies and milk cows.

Let me tell you something...

No, don't talk to me like I'm a child, OK, because I'm not one.

I can take care of myself.

All right, I mean... What is this whole point

Of me coming to New York?

Joel...

What is... Joel can make his own decisions, right?

So I can take all of this, everything,

And just sort of put it all in perspective.

We're talking about a woman.

That's all we're talking about.

All she is she's just a small piece

Of this whole New York trip, which is

Just like a big puzzle to me.

And that's all.

I understand.

I do.

You got it.

Stay here.

Figure out the puzzle.

My friend Dougy, who believes me, is waiting in the car.

We're going to go get busy.

I love you, brother.

But right now, you're just a walking target.

Go home.

I'm not playing.

I can't believe you're saying this to me.

Go home.

Go home.

[Music playing]

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER CONVERSATION]

[Car engine]

Shut up.

Shut up.

Relax K. Listen, you know that woman I

Told you I had bad vibes about?

Yeah, she's the only one in the bar now.

Listen, I don't have time to explain the whole thing,

So please trust me.

I want you to put this in her drink.

Now, that's holy water that's just been blessed.

Put it in the drink and get out of there, OK?

Hey.

Yo, relax, K. This ain't "Three Tough Cookies."

[Tense music playing]

The house is buying.

Why thank you.

[Tense music playing]

Look, man, when she drinks that holy water,

She's going to start slobbering and farting and gagging.

[Gasping and coughing]

You put the shovel in my trunk, right?

Yeah.

Are you ready?

I'm as ready as I'll ever be, man.

[Yelling]

Come on, Dougy.

Now your soul can rest in peace.

Do it.

[Screaming]

Come on, Dougy.

One, two, three.

[Laughing]

(DEEP, DEMONIC VOICE) You fools.

You can run, but you cannot hide.

You will now fight the beast.

Where's the car, man?

It was just here.

Forget it.

Forget it?

You don't forget a 88 turbo Peugeot, my brother.

Where is my car?

Man, there is a devil bitch after us.

Let's go, man.

This way.

No, we go this way.

This way.

No, we go this way.

This...

We go... Dougy, I'll see you, when I see you.

See you when I see you.

[Tires screeching]

Halt, police officer, open up.

Go, just go, drive.

[Screaming]

[Knocking]

[Tense music]

[Kung fu yell]

He slammed the door and he walked out and I...

I just have to tell how happy I was to see you today.

You know, I was so happy to see you today.

I was.

[Tense music playing]

[Gasping]

[TV in background]

[Tense music playing]

Would you like a glass of wine?

I mean, I think a glass of wine would

Make us both feel much better.

I... I... I don't drink.

I... I think... I think... I think it could.

All right, I mean, in the Bible people are drinking wine.

As long as you don't exceed your limit.

I... I... I don't drink.

I'm not a drinker.

I can't.

I don't drink.

I appreciate it though.

But I... I... I don't...

[Music playing]

[Evil laughter]

[TV playing]

[Screaming]

[Roaring]

[Tense music playing]

[Screaming]

[Tense music playing]

[Door slams open]

Sinner, fornicator.

You're supposed to be dead.

In my house.

You supposed... you're supposed to be dead.

PASTOR GARTH: I'm going to teach you a lesson.

No.

What... You're not my father.

You're not my father.

You are you?

Don't you know, boy?

I'm you, Joel.

Don't hurt my, baby.

[Roaring]

No!

[Screams]

[Tense music playing]

[Roaring]

[Screaming]

GRANDMOTHER: Make your claim to this, Joel.

This is a test for your fate, Joel.

No!

GRANDMOTHER: Faith without works is dead.

[Evil laughter]

Behold, I come back quickly.

Hold back fast which thou hast that no man may take my crown.

[Roaring]

Blessed is the man that endured temptation.

[Roaring]

The power is in the word, Joel.

And the knowledge of that is your weapon.

The power is in the word, Joel.

JOEL: This is between you and me.

It's always been between you and me.

Light.

[Roaring]

Demon, let me beat you.

I'll beat you to pit of hell from which you came.

[Screaming]

[Birds chirping]

[Music playing]

Let me light that for you.

You should use a cigarette lighter next time.

The flame lasts longer.

JOEL (VOICEOVER): Faith without works is dead.

And I knew that now.

Yet as my life continues its journey

Along winding crossroads paved with fate,

I can almost say for sure that we'll somehow meet again.
