00:01:49,718 --> 00:01:52,936
Have you any idea what
the next assignment is yet?

00:01:53,013 --> 00:01:54,563
Nope.

[sighs]

00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,400
Do you have any idea where
we're supposed to be going?

7
00:01:58,476 --> 00:02:00,861
No, not really.

8
00:02:00,937 --> 00:02:03,488
Do you have any
idea of how long it's

9
00:02:03,565 --> 00:02:05,407
going to be until we get there?

10
00:02:05,483 --> 00:02:06,741
Until we get where?

11
00:02:06,818 --> 00:02:08,301
To wherever it is we're
supposed to be going.

12
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:09,953
I just told you, I don't
know where we're going.

13
00:02:09,964 --> 00:02:11,288
Then how are we
going to get there?

14
00:02:11,365 --> 00:02:13,173
The same way we
always get there.

15
00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:14,749
Boy, you're testy tonight.
What's the matter?

16
00:02:14,826 --> 00:02:15,834
You tired or something?

17
00:02:15,911 --> 00:02:16,877
Why should I be tired?

18
00:02:16,953 --> 00:02:18,128
I've only been
driving for 10 hours.

19
00:02:18,205 --> 00:02:19,838
Hey, well, look,
if you're tired,

20
00:02:19,915 --> 00:02:21,348
why don't you just say so,
and we'll pull in somewhere.

MARK: I'm not tired.

22
00:02:24,711 --> 00:02:25,635
There's a roadhouse up ahead.

23
00:02:25,712 --> 00:02:26,669
You can get something to eat.

24
00:02:26,747 --> 00:02:28,354
I am not hungry.

25
00:02:28,432 --> 00:02:31,641
I just want to know where it
is we're supposed to be going.

26
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:32,734
They serve ribs.

27
00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:36,629
They do?

28
00:02:36,707 --> 00:02:39,566
Mm-hmm and barbecued chicken.

29
00:02:39,643 --> 00:02:41,735
Chicken?

00:02:41,811 --> 00:02:43,570

Hey, Jonathan.

00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:47,407
What?

33
00:02:47,484 --> 00:02:50,619
I don't know about you,

00:03:14,737 --> 00:03:16,061
One more bowl of ribs.

38
00:03:16,137 --> 00:03:17,487
Great.

39
00:03:17,565 --> 00:03:18,647
You sure you don't
want anything else?

40
00:03:18,723 --> 00:03:20,482
I didn't think there'd
be anything else left.

41
00:03:20,558 --> 00:03:23,235
I know what you mean.

42
00:03:23,311 --> 00:03:24,277
Will that be it?

43
00:03:24,354 --> 00:03:25,378
We're fine.

44
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:27,656
OK, we got two
barbecued chicken

45
00:03:27,732 --> 00:03:30,408
with all the trimmings,
three pecan pie,

46
00:03:30,485 --> 00:03:31,660
and nine bowls of ribs.

47
00:03:31,736 --> 00:03:32,619
Thank you.

48
00:03:32,696 --> 00:03:34,287
Nine bowls of ribs?

What you got over
there, a banquet party?

50
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:37,540
Would you believe it, Gabe?

51
00:03:37,617 --> 00:03:38,667
That's all for one guy.

52
00:03:38,743 --> 00:03:39,626
Gabe?

53
00:03:39,703 --> 00:03:41,503
One human guy?

54
00:03:41,579 --> 00:03:45,674
Mister, whoever you are,
the pig farmers of America

55
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:49,853
ought to get down on the knees
and pray you live a long life.

56
00:03:49,930 --> 00:03:51,054
I can't believe it.

57
00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:53,431
It's him.

58
00:03:53,508 --> 00:03:54,557
Gabe?

59
00:03:54,568 --> 00:03:55,475
Gabe Wilson?

60
00:03:55,552 --> 00:03:56,810
Yes, sir.

61
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:58,553
I got to tell you something.

62
00:03:58,630 --> 00:04:01,281
I haven't heard music like you
played tonight since oh, 20,

63
00:04:01,358 --> 00:04:03,984
25 years ago in a
little place called

64
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:05,986
the Chit Chat Club in Oakland.

65
00:04:06,062 --> 00:04:07,821
You sounded better
tonight than you did then.

66
00:04:07,897 --> 00:04:09,197
Well, I appreciate it.

67
00:04:09,274 --> 00:04:10,073
Bless your heart.

68
00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:11,616
I liked it myself.

69
00:04:11,693 --> 00:04:13,368
Chit Chat Club, huh?

70
00:04:13,445 --> 00:04:15,245
You don't mind if I ask
you a question, do you?

71
00:04:15,322 --> 00:04:17,414
No, go ahead.

72
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:20,709
Did you used to be
Black because you sound

73
00:04:20,785 --> 00:04:22,335
like you're white to me now?

74
00:04:22,412 --> 00:04:24,421
But if you were in the Chit
Chat Club 25 years ago,

75
00:04:24,497 --> 00:04:27,007
and you wasn't Black,
and you're still alive,

76
00:04:27,083 --> 00:04:30,102
you must be a big, ugly
cop named Mark Gordon, huh?

77
00:04:30,178 --> 00:04:30,811
How are you?

78
00:04:30,887 --> 00:04:32,679
How are you?

79
00:04:32,756 --> 00:04:33,638
Oh, man.

80
00:04:33,715 --> 00:04:34,889
How you been?

81
00:04:34,966 --> 00:04:36,441
Well, I've been up,
and I've been down.

82
00:04:36,518 --> 00:04:37,567
But the main thing,
I'm still around.

83
00:04:37,644 --> 00:04:38,768
That's all that
counts, you know.

84
00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:40,145
Right.

85
00:04:40,221 --> 00:04:41,313
Hey, listen, Gabe, I
want you to meet a friend

86
00:04:41,389 --> 00:04:42,731
of mine, Jonathan Smith.

87
00:04:42,807 --> 00:04:43,648

88
00:04:43,725 --> 00:04:44,983
Hey, pleasure.

89
00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:46,609
How did you recognize
him after all this time?

90
00:04:46,686 --> 00:04:48,144
Just by his voice?

91
00:04:48,222 --> 00:04:50,155
Oh, no, his voice didn't
have nothing to do with it.

92
00:04:50,231 --> 00:04:52,741
I recognized the
nine bowls of ribs.

93
00:04:52,817 --> 00:04:56,202
That sounds more like it.

94
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,705
[coughs]

95
00:04:58,782 --> 00:04:59,664
Gabe?

96
00:04:59,741 --> 00:05:00,757
Gabe, you all right?

97
00:05:03,846 --> 00:05:07,547
Yeah, just a little tired.

98
00:05:07,624 --> 00:05:10,425
It's funny, you don't even
feel it till the music stops,

99
00:05:10,502 --> 00:05:12,059
you know.

100
00:05:12,137 --> 00:05:14,929
Why don't we go outside
and get some air?

101
00:05:15,006 --> 00:05:16,898
Yeah, sure, come on.

102
00:05:23,515 --> 00:05:26,316
Ah, that's better.

103
00:05:26,327 --> 00:05:27,284
Back to nature.

104
00:05:31,815 --> 00:05:33,073
You know, it's funny.

105
00:05:33,149 --> 00:05:35,116
I was riding along
about 10 years ago.

106
00:05:35,127 --> 00:05:37,035
And all of a sudden,
they started playing one

107
00:05:37,112 --> 00:05:38,703
of your records on the radio.

108
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:40,246
More than 10 years ago.

109
00:05:40,323 --> 00:05:41,706
Are you still cutting records?

110
00:05:41,783 --> 00:05:44,000
Mark, are you-- did
you go blind, too?

111
00:05:44,077 --> 00:05:46,961
I mean, does it look
like I'm cutting records?

112
00:05:47,038 --> 00:05:48,421
Was somebody playing
a joke on me?

113
00:05:48,498 --> 00:05:51,216
Was I playing the Fillmore,
or Hollywood Bowl,

114
00:05:51,292 --> 00:05:54,094
or was that barbecue
joint back in there?

115
00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:57,180
But it's OK, you understand.

116
00:05:57,257 --> 00:06:00,359
See, when I first started out,
all I wanted to do was play

117
00:06:00,435 --> 00:06:01,434
and get paid for it.

118
00:06:01,511 --> 00:06:03,394
That's all.

119
00:06:02,905 --> 00:06:06,439
I mean, back then, getting
paid anything was a luxury.

120
00:06:06,516 --> 00:06:08,775
Then the kind of
music I was playing

121
00:06:08,852 --> 00:06:11,319
got discovered, you understand.

122
00:06:11,396 --> 00:06:13,113
They started paying
me lots of money

123
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:16,116
to play the way I was
playing before when

124
00:06:16,192 --> 00:06:17,901
they weren't paying me nothing.

125
00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:19,536
Yeah, I made a lot of
money for a lot of people.

126
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:22,288
I just wasn't the one that
got to keep it, that's all.

127
00:06:22,365 --> 00:06:23,498
What happened?

128
00:06:23,575 --> 00:06:26,459
Well, things change.

129
00:06:26,536 --> 00:06:28,028
Tastes change.

130
00:06:28,104 --> 00:06:30,588
For a while, they
had some white guys

131
00:06:30,665 --> 00:06:33,508
decided to play the way I did.

132
00:06:33,585 --> 00:06:36,136
Most of those guys are
out of work now, too.

133
00:06:36,212 --> 00:06:40,348
Some of them are dead, which
makes for a very dull act,

134
00:06:40,425 --> 00:06:42,600
you understand.

135
00:06:42,677 --> 00:06:45,353
Well, I guess one of the
nice things about being blind

136
00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:49,649
is big house, little house,
it all sound the same to me.

137
00:06:49,726 --> 00:06:52,527
The main thing is how it sounds.

138
00:06:52,604 --> 00:06:54,112
Sounds better than ever.

139
00:06:54,189 --> 00:06:55,614
Those are my feelings exactly.

140
00:06:59,027 --> 00:07:00,952
I guess I better
get back inside.

141
00:07:00,963 --> 00:07:02,328
I got another set to do.

142
00:07:02,405 --> 00:07:04,581
So maybe you can give me
a lift to the bus station?

143
00:07:04,657 --> 00:07:07,667
I got a gig tomorrow night
that's 400 miles from here.

144
00:07:07,744 --> 00:07:08,552
Hey, you got it.

145
00:07:14,918 --> 00:07:16,017
Gabe, you all right?

146
00:07:18,922 --> 00:07:20,763
Yeah, yeah.

147
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,849
I just must have ate too much
of that barbecue in there.

148
00:07:22,926 --> 00:07:24,559
It gave me heartburn.
But I'm OK.

149
00:07:24,636 --> 00:07:26,161
You're sure?

150
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:26,895
This barbecue
gives you heartburn?

151
00:07:26,971 --> 00:07:28,029
Yeah, I'm sure.

152
00:07:32,477 --> 00:07:37,372
[music playing]

153
00:07:45,582 --> 00:07:47,674
I'm sorry, but you'll
have to wait outside.

154
00:07:47,751 --> 00:07:49,242
He's an old friend of mine.

155
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:51,586
I'm sorry, but no one's
allowed in the treatment area.

156
00:07:51,663 --> 00:07:54,172
We're awfully busy tonight,
so if you'll just have a seat

157
00:07:54,183 --> 00:07:56,716
outside, the doctor will see
you as soon as he's had a chance

158
00:07:56,793 --> 00:07:57,684
to examine your friend.

159
00:08:01,756 --> 00:08:04,682
Jonathan, is he gonna--

160
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,685
I don't know.

161
00:08:07,762 --> 00:08:09,062
Come on, buddy.

162
00:08:09,139 --> 00:08:10,071
Let's let the doctors
do their work.

163
00:08:17,414 --> 00:08:18,947
Mr. Wilson?

164
00:08:19,023 --> 00:08:20,740
Mr. Wilson?

Mr. Wilson, can you

Can you play "Sweet
Georgia Brown?"

DOCTOR: What?

170
00:08:45,174 --> 00:08:46,933
You're the dancer.

171
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:48,851
I'm the musician.

You tell me what happened.

He's going into
cardiac arrest.

Half milligram of epinephrine.

175

Let's get the paddles on him.

Yeah, that's right.

How's he doing, Doc?

182

Well, we're taking
him to intensive care.

Now, he's had a heart attack.

We're trying to stabilize him.

But he's going to make it.

Is he going to be all right?

We won't know
that for a while.

me her grandson saw you down

don't belong to this church.

00:10:52,435 --> 00:10:54,185
And I doubt if they belong
to any other church.

221
00:10:54,262 --> 00:10:55,853
And they had amplifiers.

222

And they had electric guitars.

00:10:57,649 --> 00:11:00,066
And I don't know what other kind
of tools of the devil they had.

They aren't tools
of the devil, Mama.

225
00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:04,445
They're just
musical instruments.

to change the subject, either.

he was so soft-headed.

But he ain't had a

I mean, when he had that

He's worth it.

327
00:16:24,592 --> 00:16:27,059
That's it.

328
00:16:27,136 --> 00:16:30,855
Thanks for listening.

329
00:16:30,931 --> 00:16:32,231
Amen.

How are you doing?

332
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,691
I'd be doing a lot better
if they had some barbecue

333
00:17:15,768 --> 00:17:19,987
in this hospital, man.

334
00:17:20,064 --> 00:17:22,990
I want to thank you
for bringing me in.

335
00:17:23,067 --> 00:17:26,702
You and your friend
saved my life.

336
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:29,914
Hey, well, that's
pure selfishness.

337
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:32,583
I don't know anybody who
plays music as good as you.

338
00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:35,336
GABE: Ain't that the truth?

339
00:17:35,412 --> 00:17:38,547
Gabe, is there anybody
you want us to call for you?

340
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:39,474
Anybody to call?

341
00:17:39,550 --> 00:17:40,966
No.

342
00:17:41,043 --> 00:17:45,221
I'm what you want to call
footloose and fancy free.

343
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:47,014
Hmm.

344
00:17:47,091 --> 00:17:48,107
The doctor said when you
were in the emergency room,

345
00:17:48,184 --> 00:17:49,859
you called out for
somebody named Ellie.

346
00:17:52,513 --> 00:17:54,647
Ellie?

347
00:17:54,723 --> 00:17:56,649
Oh, that figures.

348
00:17:56,725 --> 00:17:59,902
Must be 30 years
since I've seen her.

349
00:17:59,979 --> 00:18:02,488
But there hasn't been
a day gone by that I

350
00:18:02,565 --> 00:18:04,031
haven't thought of her.

351
00:18:04,108 --> 00:18:07,535
She smelled of a
sweet smelling soap.

352
00:18:07,611 --> 00:18:09,703
I remember.

353
00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:12,248
Probably the only one that
I ever wanted to marry.

354
00:18:12,324 --> 00:18:14,542
Not the only one I ever
said I wanted to marry,

355
00:18:14,618 --> 00:18:16,460
you understand.

356
00:18:16,537 --> 00:18:18,504
I'd probably have
done it with her.

357
00:18:18,581 --> 00:18:21,132
No probably about it.

358
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:22,299
What happened?

359
00:18:22,376 --> 00:18:25,219
Well, bless her heart.

360
00:18:25,296 --> 00:18:26,896
She wanted someone
who would be home.

361
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:29,181
And I can understand that.

362
00:18:29,258 --> 00:18:32,101
But I could either be home
and unemployed or on the road

363
00:18:32,178 --> 00:18:36,313
getting paid what I know how to
do best, and that's make music.

364
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaking of which, when are
they gonna let me out of here?

I got some gigs to get to.

366
00:18:43,105 --> 00:18:44,655
Listen, Gabe,
the doc said you're

367
00:18:44,732 --> 00:18:46,490
going to have to take it
easy for a while, which means

368
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:49,118
no road travel for a while.

369
00:18:49,195 --> 00:18:50,828
Mark, like I
said, I can either

370
00:18:50,905 --> 00:18:53,539
be in one place unemployed
or on the road getting paid.

371
00:18:53,616 --> 00:18:56,125
I can't take it easy, man.

372
00:18:56,202 --> 00:18:57,459
Gabe, why don't
you concentrate

373
00:18:57,536 --> 00:18:58,569
on getting out of here?

374
00:18:58,646 --> 00:19:00,204
Then we'll worry about the rest.

375
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,341
Things have a way of working
themselves out, you know.

376
00:19:04,418 --> 00:19:05,426
Yeah.

377
00:19:05,502 --> 00:19:07,937
I guess they do.

378
00:19:08,014 --> 00:19:10,347
Look, the doc said for
us not to stay too long.

379
00:19:10,424 --> 00:19:14,476
You look like you
could use some sleep.

380
00:19:14,553 --> 00:19:15,653
I'm just sure I'll wake up.

381
00:19:15,730 --> 00:19:17,605
I've got some gigs to play.

382
00:19:17,681 --> 00:19:18,597
Don't worry, Gabe.

383
00:19:18,675 --> 00:19:21,609
You're going to wake up.

384
00:19:21,685 --> 00:19:23,202
You guarantee that?

385
00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:29,408
Yeah.

386
00:19:29,485 --> 00:19:30,168
Yeah, I guarantee it.

387
00:19:34,999 --> 00:19:37,333
You heard the man.

388
00:19:37,409 --> 00:19:38,301
Good night.

389
00:19:42,373 --> 00:19:43,839
I can't tell you
how much we appreciate

390
00:19:43,916 --> 00:19:45,223
this, Miss Livingston.

391
00:19:45,301 --> 00:19:46,525
Well, there's not
much to appreciate.

392
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:48,636
You and your friend, you
need a place to stay,

393
00:19:48,712 --> 00:19:51,096
and we need the
repair work done.

394
00:19:51,173 --> 00:19:54,183
Besides, you'll have your hands
full cleaning up this place,

395
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:55,809
making it fit to
live in because we've

396
00:19:55,886 --> 00:19:57,144
been using it as a storeroom.

397
00:19:57,221 --> 00:19:58,687
We'll have it fixed
up it in no time.

398
00:19:58,764 --> 00:20:00,280
Lord knows we can use it.

399
00:20:00,358 --> 00:20:02,149
We don't have much of
a congregation left.

400
00:20:02,226 --> 00:20:04,485
We're having to
start all over again.

401
00:20:04,561 --> 00:20:06,270
So what happened?

402
00:20:06,346 --> 00:20:08,155
We used to have three times
as many people as we have now.

403
00:20:08,232 --> 00:20:11,158
And they're backsliders, all
of them, every one of them.

404
00:20:11,235 --> 00:20:14,954
They say, Mother Livingston,
she's too hard on them

405
00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:17,122
because she won't
stand for them wearing

406
00:20:17,199 --> 00:20:19,667
their skirts up to the belly
button like a lot of them

407
00:20:19,743 --> 00:20:21,201
wants to do.

408
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:24,713
And she won't let them go
dancing at night in discos,

409
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:28,092
and smoking cigarettes,
and going to the movies.

410
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:31,053
Now, I tell the same thing
to my daughter, Vanessa.

411
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:32,838
But somehow, I don't
think it's going

412
00:20:32,915 --> 00:20:35,849
to do any good because she's
just rebellious and stubborn.

413
00:20:35,926 --> 00:20:37,142
I don't know.

414
00:20:37,219 --> 00:20:38,952
She seems like such
a nice young woman.

415
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:41,489
Nice young women are
grist for the devil's mill.

416
00:20:44,435 --> 00:20:47,695
That friend of yours, the one
you said that's coming out

417
00:20:47,771 --> 00:20:51,782
of the hospital, now, if he can
play the piano as good as you

418
00:20:51,859 --> 00:20:53,200
say he can, he can
stay here, too,

419
00:20:53,277 --> 00:20:56,870
until he gets up on his
feet because Lord knows,

420
00:20:56,947 --> 00:20:58,764
we can use a good piano player.

421
00:20:58,841 --> 00:21:01,875
Now, I don't know if you have
heard Mother Washington banging

422
00:21:01,952 --> 00:21:03,961
on that piano downstairs.

423
00:21:04,038 --> 00:21:05,963
Yes, ma'am, we've heard her.

424
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,548
Well, I'll let
you get started.

425
00:21:07,624 --> 00:21:11,051
I swear, whole congregation
full of colored people and not

426
00:21:11,128 --> 00:21:12,636
one of them can play the piano.

427
00:21:12,713 --> 00:21:14,772
It's a freak of nature.

428
00:21:21,239 --> 00:21:23,022
This is the perfect
idea, Jonathan.

429
00:21:23,098 --> 00:21:25,366
Great gift for Gabe, a
couple of jazz tapes.

430
00:21:25,443 --> 00:21:26,575
Glad you approve.

431
00:21:29,563 --> 00:21:30,904
Excuse me, do you work here?

432
00:21:30,981 --> 00:21:32,522
Yeah, what can I do for you?

433
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,624
I'm looking to buy a couple
of tapes for a friend of mine.

434
00:21:33,701 --> 00:21:35,208
Where's your jazz section?

435
00:21:35,286 --> 00:21:37,578
Right down at the
end of the counter.

436
00:21:37,654 --> 00:21:39,079
Right in front of me.

437
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:40,214
Thanks.

438
00:21:40,291 --> 00:21:43,042
Hey, guys, you know
I got a great idea.

that you did that riff with,

00:21:45,329 --> 00:21:46,036

Fine.

446

Look, Mr. Smith,
my mama didn't send

447
00:21:58,675 --> 00:22:01,518
you down to find out if I was
here by any chance, did she?

448
00:22:01,595 --> 00:22:02,436
No.

449
00:22:02,513 --> 00:22:03,937
Why?

450
00:22:04,014 --> 00:22:06,774
Oh, nothing.

451
00:22:06,850 --> 00:22:09,902
Just well, could
I ask you a favor?

452
00:22:09,978 --> 00:22:10,819
Well, sure.

453
00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:12,371
Like what?

454
00:22:12,448 --> 00:22:17,451
Like, just don't say
that you saw me down here.

455
00:22:17,528 --> 00:22:20,371
I mean, if she asks me,
I'm not asking you to lie.

456
00:22:20,381 --> 00:22:22,998
But if it doesn't come up,
I'd appreciate it if you

457
00:22:23,075 --> 00:22:25,751
just wouldn't mention it.

458
00:22:25,828 --> 00:22:28,337
There's no reason
why I should.

459
00:22:28,414 --> 00:22:30,756
I guess it's not always easy
being a preacher's daughter,

460
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:32,350
is it?

461
00:22:32,426 --> 00:22:33,517
Tell me about it.

462
00:22:33,594 --> 00:22:35,636
I can't do this
and can't do that.

463
00:22:35,712 --> 00:22:37,012
What will people think?

464
00:22:37,089 --> 00:22:38,314
Well, your mother
doesn't strike me

465
00:22:38,391 --> 00:22:39,857
as the kind of person
who does things because

466
00:22:39,934 --> 00:22:41,400
of what other people think.

467
00:22:41,477 --> 00:22:44,603
Oh, no, she does what she
does because of what she thinks.

468
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,313
I just wish she'd give
other people credit

469
00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:48,565
for being able to think, too.

470

That's part of being a mother.

471
00:22:50,811 --> 00:22:51,944
You ever watch a
mother when her baby

472
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:53,504
is trying to learn to walk?

473
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:56,156
She goes through more
struggles than the child does.

474
00:22:56,233 --> 00:22:57,616
But she knows that
baby's not going

475

to learn unless she lets go.

much, she wants

You going to talk or rehearse?

00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:27,604
it's just I ain't been
in one for a long time.

487

There's just not for me.

488
00:23:28,891 --> 00:23:30,323
Gabe, listen to me.

489
00:23:30,401 --> 00:23:32,109
The doc says you got to
take it easy for a while,

490
00:23:32,186 --> 00:23:33,652
which means you
cannot be sitting

491
00:23:33,729 --> 00:23:35,404
up all night playing in clubs.

492
00:23:35,481 --> 00:23:37,698
This is a way so you don't
have to worry about expenses

493
00:23:37,774 --> 00:23:39,033
or a place to live.

494
00:23:39,109 --> 00:23:40,242
And you can get
your strength back.

495
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,119
I ain't got no strength.

496
00:23:42,196 --> 00:23:43,829
So there's none to get back.

497
00:23:43,906 --> 00:23:45,906
I'm at the end of
it, and I know it.

498
00:23:45,983 --> 00:23:48,250
I just want to finish the way
I started, playing my kind

499
00:23:48,327 --> 00:23:49,877
of music the way I know how.

500
00:23:49,953 --> 00:23:51,220
At the end of it?

501
00:23:51,297 --> 00:23:53,380
That doesn't sound like
the Gabe Wilson I knew.

502
00:23:53,457 --> 00:23:57,092
Well, the Gabe Wilson you knew
didn't have a heart attack yet.

503
00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:58,585
Look, Gabe, you
go back on the road,

504
00:23:58,662 --> 00:24:00,345
you're going to last
about three months.

505

You do what the
doctor says, you're

506
00:24:01,766 --> 00:24:02,931
going to be playing
your kind of music

507
00:24:03,008 --> 00:24:04,291
your way for a long, long time.

508
00:24:04,368 --> 00:24:05,568
Now, why don't you
start using your head?

509
00:24:09,515 --> 00:24:12,733
All right, chillum,
let's go get holy.

510
00:24:12,809 --> 00:24:14,101
Start out in church.

511
00:24:14,177 --> 00:24:15,077
Might as well end up in one.

512
00:24:24,321 --> 00:24:25,787
How you doing, Vanessa?

513
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:27,147
Hello, Mr. Smith.

514
00:24:27,224 --> 00:24:28,515
I want you to
meet Gabe Wilson.

515
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:29,583
He's going to be playing
piano for the choir.

516
00:24:29,660 --> 00:24:30,918
How are you doing?

517
00:24:30,994 --> 00:24:31,826
I'm real well.

518
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:33,378
Thank you.

519
00:24:33,455 --> 00:24:36,298
Mind if I take a look at
your piano, get a feel of it?

520
00:24:36,375 --> 00:24:38,842
No not at all, Mr. Wilson.

521
00:24:38,919 --> 00:24:40,019
It's right over here.

522
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,107
There's a step up.

523
00:24:52,015 --> 00:24:54,858
Yeah, it sounds
like a church piano.

Them that's not shall lose.

527
00:25:18,375 --> 00:25:22,594
So the Bible says.

00:25:22,605 --> 00:25:24,522
And it still is news.

Mama may have, Papa may have.

Yes--

Vanessa, what kind of
music is that you're singing

534
00:25:53,994 --> 00:25:54,951
in the house of the Lord?

535
00:25:55,029 --> 00:25:56,169
That is the devil's music.

536
00:25:56,246 --> 00:25:57,879
No, it isn't, Mama.

537
00:25:57,956 --> 00:25:58,880
It's just music.

That's all it is.

It's "God Bless the Child."

00:26:03,854 --> 00:26:05,178
It's my fault, ma'am.

Don't worry about it.

that I don't know about?

I don't have any

647
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:05,005
Mr. Smith?

648
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:13,088
Mr. Smith, I know that
man's a friend of yours.

649
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:14,122
Mark?

650
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:15,473
Mr. Wilson.

651
00:32:15,551 --> 00:32:16,875
I know the man is
a friend of yours.

652
00:32:16,951 --> 00:32:18,301
From what I understand,
he was a friend of yours,

653
00:32:18,378 --> 00:32:19,594
too, at one time.

654
00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:22,347
That was almost 40 years ago.

655
00:32:22,424 --> 00:32:23,932
The only thing I
feel for him now

656
00:32:24,009 --> 00:32:25,809
is a Christian
sense of fellowship

657
00:32:25,885 --> 00:32:29,104
and a pity at the
way he's turned out.

658
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:31,439
Well, I don't think Gabe
feels any need for your pity.

659
00:32:31,516 --> 00:32:35,026
Mr. Smith, I know Mr. Wilson
has fallen on hard times.

660
00:32:35,103 --> 00:32:38,613
And it is my Christian duty
to lend a helping hand.

661
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:40,448
But as soon as that man
gets completely fit,

662
00:32:40,525 --> 00:32:43,284
I want him out of my house.

663
00:32:43,361 --> 00:32:44,285
Mind if I ask you why?

664
00:32:44,362 --> 00:32:45,704
Has he said or done anything?

665
00:32:45,780 --> 00:32:47,622
He hasn't done
anything because I won't

666
00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:49,507
give him the chance to do.

667
00:32:49,585 --> 00:32:52,585
And it's not so much what he
says, but the way he says it.

668
00:32:52,662 --> 00:32:54,713
Now, I have a young,
impressionable daughter.

669
00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:57,516
And he is not the kind of
man I want in my house.

670
00:32:57,592 --> 00:32:59,083
Mrs. Livingston,
I can't believe Gabe

671
00:32:59,161 --> 00:33:00,769
would say anything out
of line to your daughter.

672
00:33:00,846 --> 00:33:02,178
Well, he hasn't yet.

673
00:33:02,255 --> 00:33:04,472
But he's a musician.

674
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:06,233
And the less she
sees of those kind,

675
00:33:06,309 --> 00:33:09,352
the better off she will be.

676
00:33:09,429 --> 00:33:10,745
Let me see if I
understand this.

677
00:33:10,822 --> 00:33:12,397
Now, you let Mr.
Wilson stay here so he

678
00:33:12,474 --> 00:33:13,606
could play piano for the choir.

679
00:33:13,683 --> 00:33:14,941
That's correct.

680
00:33:15,018 --> 00:33:16,717
Now, you want him out
because he's a musician?

681
00:33:16,795 --> 00:33:19,654
That's correct, but he is a
skirt chaser, any woman at all.

682
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:22,157
It doesn't matter, even
the pastor of a church.

683
00:33:22,233 --> 00:33:24,242
Mrs. Livingston, there,
I know you're wrong.

684
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:26,128
Look, when Gabe was in
that emergency room,

685
00:33:26,204 --> 00:33:29,414
just one step away from death,
he called out a woman's name.

686
00:33:29,425 --> 00:33:31,666
But it wasn't just anyone.

687
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:32,926
It was your name, Ellie.

688
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:37,380
Is that true?

689
00:33:37,457 --> 00:33:40,050
JONATHAN: Yes, ma'am, it's true.

690
00:33:40,126 --> 00:33:41,801
Woo.

691
00:33:41,812 --> 00:33:44,855
It is unseasonably hot for
this time of the year, huh?

692
00:33:47,425 --> 00:33:50,268
Well, Mr. Smith, I'm glad
we had our little talk.

693
00:33:50,345 --> 00:33:53,438
I want you to tell Mr.
Wilson that I expect to see

694
00:33:53,515 --> 00:33:55,857
him tonight at choir on time.

695
00:33:55,934 --> 00:33:57,067
Oh, I'll tell him.

696
00:33:57,143 --> 00:33:58,035
Thank you.

Oh, I forgot.

She asked me to
tell you that she

was going to be late for dinner
and for you not to worry.

today at the music store.

You're kidding?

You sure she wasn't
in an antiques store?

The music store, that's
where she went with that band.

Mr. Wilson, I want
you to talk to her.

Me?

724

Yes, I want you to tell
her the kind of toll that

725
00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:27,949
takes on a person's
life to make the wrath

of God come down on them.

Well, I wouldn't know
much about that, Ellie.

728
00:35:31,529 --> 00:35:32,745
How can you say that?

729
00:35:32,822 --> 00:35:34,798
You think I want my
baby to end up like you?

730
00:35:40,371 --> 00:35:43,590
I didn't mean that
the way it sounded.

I but regret a day
of my life, Ellie.

732

And I don't know anything
about any wrath of God.

God and me are just fine.

734
00:35:50,891 --> 00:35:53,608
How can you say that when
He struck you blind to show

you the error of your ways?

736
00:35:56,229 --> 00:35:58,521
He didn't strike
me blind, Ellie.

737
00:35:58,598 --> 00:36:00,648
It was a drunk in a '57 Chevy.

738
00:36:00,725 --> 00:36:02,317
It was the will of God.

739

What do you think, Ellie,
that God bought him a six pack?

740
00:36:06,314 --> 00:36:08,239
I expect God has a lot
more to do in this life

741
00:36:08,316 --> 00:36:10,959
than going around
striking me blind.

742
00:36:11,036 --> 00:36:13,828
And blind isn't the worst
thing you can be in this world.

743
00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:16,664
And there are more than
one way of being blind.

744
00:36:16,741 --> 00:36:20,043
And what's that
supposed to mean?

745
00:36:20,119 --> 00:36:25,924
It means you shut me out
and wrote me off 30 years ago.

And from the way
it sounds, you're

at your daughter

806
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:25,653
because she's left the Lord
or because she left you?

807
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:28,272
All these years of being angry
at Gabe because he left God

808
00:39:28,349 --> 00:39:30,525
or because he left you?

809
00:39:30,601 --> 00:39:33,569
Because she's left
the path of the Lord.

810
00:39:33,646 --> 00:39:36,572
And if she does, if
she's left this house,

811
00:39:36,649 --> 00:39:40,251
daughter or no, this door
will be closed to her.

812
00:39:42,613 --> 00:39:44,414
You know, Mrs. Livingston,
I think you better

813
00:39:44,490 --> 00:39:45,998
start taking a good
look at how many people

814
00:39:46,075 --> 00:39:48,376
you're closing the door to.

815
00:39:48,387 --> 00:39:51,421
2/3 of your congregation,
Gabe, now, you

816
00:39:51,431 --> 00:39:53,005
threaten to do the same
thing to your own daughter

817
00:39:53,082 --> 00:39:56,100
because she won't live her life
the way you think she should.

818
00:39:59,464 --> 00:40:01,764
Mrs. Livingston, she's
a 20-year-old girl.

819
00:40:01,841 --> 00:40:05,101
She's got her own life to lead.

820
00:40:05,178 --> 00:40:06,945
And all you can do is love her.

824
00:40:18,191 --> 00:40:19,282
Take me to Mr. Wilson.

825
00:40:19,358 --> 00:40:20,783
He knows where she is.

826
00:40:20,860 --> 00:40:21,784
I know he does.

827
00:40:21,861 --> 00:40:23,786
Take me to him, please.

All right.

Well, what are you
going to do now, Gabe?

831
00:40:41,547 --> 00:40:43,973
Well, it seems
like every 30 years,

832
00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:46,058
I have to let that
woman kick me out.

833
00:40:46,135 --> 00:40:49,145
I guess I'll go
back on the road.

834
00:40:49,222 --> 00:40:50,980
But you know what's
really funny?

835
00:40:50,991 --> 00:40:52,398
No, what?

836
00:40:52,475 --> 00:40:54,734
That woman still loves me.

837
00:40:54,810 --> 00:40:56,060
I know she does.

838
00:40:56,137 --> 00:40:56,819
She loved me 30 years ago.

839
00:40:56,896 --> 00:40:58,738
She still does.

840
00:40:58,814 --> 00:41:00,865
So that's why you're
going back on the road?

841

Well, she just doesn't want
to have anything to do with me.

The female of the species, man.

You figure it out.

844
00:41:07,323 --> 00:41:10,833
Gabe, you remember the
movie "Gone with the Wind?"

Babies, I don't know nothing
about birthing no babies.

Right, right.

847
00:41:16,691 --> 00:41:18,007
Well, what happened
when Scarlett O'Hara

848
00:41:18,084 --> 00:41:20,051

849

You tell me.

850
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:23,346
Well, he didn't go back on
the road, I'll tell you that.

851
00:41:23,422 --> 00:41:25,223
He kicked the door in.

852
00:41:25,299 --> 00:41:26,641
Now, listen, if
you love that woman

853
00:41:26,717 --> 00:41:28,309
as much as you
claim to love her,

854
00:41:28,386 --> 00:41:29,793
you wouldn't let
her shut the door.

855
00:41:29,871 --> 00:41:31,354
You can't make
somebody love you.

00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:35,608
Well, according to
you, she already does.

Mr. Wilson.

865
00:42:05,565 --> 00:42:07,848
You called me Gabe
there for a second there.

00:42:07,925 --> 00:42:09,067
Yes, yes, I--

867
00:42:09,143 --> 00:42:12,436
I guess I did.

868
00:42:12,513 --> 00:42:14,230
Gabe, do you know
where Vanessa is?

869
00:42:14,307 --> 00:42:15,790
Vanessa?

870
00:42:15,867 --> 00:42:17,400
Yes, she left a note
saying she went off

871
00:42:17,476 --> 00:42:18,943
somewhere with
that band of hers,

872
00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:20,570
that they went on
some road tour.

873
00:42:20,646 --> 00:42:23,698
Well, then,
that's where she is.

874
00:42:23,774 --> 00:42:26,492
I don't know any more about
it than you do, Ellie.

875
00:42:26,569 --> 00:42:28,035
You'd tell me if
you knew, though?

876
00:42:28,112 --> 00:42:29,412
You wouldn't lie to me?

877
00:42:29,488 --> 00:42:31,289
I've never lied to you, Ellie.

878
00:42:31,365 --> 00:42:32,698
And I wasn't lying
to you when I told

879
00:42:32,775 --> 00:42:33,841
you that I loved you, either.

880
00:42:36,329 --> 00:42:39,422
She's left me, Gabe.

881
00:42:39,498 --> 00:42:41,924
Of course, she's
left you, honey.

882
00:42:42,001 --> 00:42:44,552
That's what children do.

883
00:42:44,629 --> 00:42:46,637
It's nothing to cry about.

884
00:42:46,714 --> 00:42:48,156
Come on.

885
00:42:48,232 --> 00:42:50,850
You're too pretty
to cry like that.

886
00:42:50,926 --> 00:42:52,268
Don't talk like that.

887
00:42:52,345 --> 00:42:53,944
Like what?

888
00:42:54,022 --> 00:42:57,732
Calling me pretty like
I'm some dumb young thing.

889
00:42:57,808 --> 00:42:58,858
I'm not pretty, Gabe.

890
00:42:58,934 --> 00:43:01,360
I'm old.

891
00:43:01,437 --> 00:43:02,662
I'm old, Gabe.

892

I'm an old woman, and I
got nobody or nothing.

You are pretty to me.

You look the same way you
did 30 years ago in my mind.

Nothing can change that.

896

That's one of the advantages
of having a blind husband.

897

You don't have to look at your
best for him all the time.

898

I'm being serious, Gabe.

00:43:19,772 --> 00:43:21,547
So am I. If you'd
been listening

900
00:43:21,624 --> 00:43:23,966
instead of feeling sorry for
yourself, you would have heard.

I want to marry you.

905

We're too old to
be talking like that.

906

I don't feel old.

907
00:43:36,847 --> 00:43:38,981
I feel good.

warm it's getting?

won't go back on the road,

00:43:48,984 --> 00:43:50,576
never mind you, because
a man's got to work.

But I want to come home to you.

914
00:43:53,906 --> 00:43:56,540
I suspect I won't be on the
road half as much as I used to.

915

And I can play with
that choir of yours.

916

Yeah, it wouldn't kill
me to play in church.

think people will say

if they saw their pastor
on the road with you

919

in some honky tonk?

920
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:15,559
They'd say, there
goes Mother Wilson.

She took that old silly Gabe.

his time in church.
