WOMAN: Reverend Franklin,
you give a fine, fine sermon.
213
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:12,654
WOMAN: My favorite passage,
214
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:16,616
"We are a proud race who
need not bow down to any soul."
215
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:19,285
WOMAN: Is she singing to him?
216
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,454

racing, Reverend, for justice.
217

WOMAN: So have you
picked out names yet?
220
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:34,175
BARBARA: If it's a boy
we'll name him Clarence
221
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,760
after the reverend, of course.
222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,012
WOMAN: And if it's a girl?
223
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:40,098
BARBARA: Aretha.
It's a family name.
224
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,767
WOMAN: Oh, beautiful.
225
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,271
MRS FRANKLIN: That was
a good sermon, son.
226
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,106
CL: Thank you, Momma.
227
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:49,566
Where are Erma and Cecil?
228
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,234
MRS FRANKLIN: I couldn't
get them out of the playroom
229
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,278
with Sister Margaret
and their tambourines.
230
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:54,571
CL:
Pleasure to meet you.
231
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:55,655
KING: Likewise.
232
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:56,990
You should be very
proud of your son.
233
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:58,199
FATHER: We are indeed.
234
00:10:58,199 --> 00:10:59,701
BARBARA: I wonder
who that man is.
235
00:10:59,701 --> 00:11:01,536
Got a nice suit on.
236
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:02,871
KING:
We'll be in touch, Reverend.
237
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:04,455
CL: Thank you.
238
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:07,876
BARBARA: Almost feels too
quiet with them both asleep.
239
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:08,960
CL: It's going to
get pretty noisy when the
240
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,461
new one gets here.
241
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:11,754
BARBARA: I can't wait.
242
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:14,132
CL: Me either.
243
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:16,509
What'd you think
about my sermon?
244
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,094
BARBARA: I
particularly liked the
245
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,346
Psalm 62: 5 through 6 passage.
246
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:24,350
"God alone is the mighty
rock that keeps me safe.
247
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:26,352
He is the fortress
where I feel secure."
248
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:30,565
CL: That complemented
my theme of self‐reliance.
249
00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:32,817
BARBARA: Beautifully.
250
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,403
CL: And I appreciate
you choosing that hymn,
251
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:38,698
although in my mind
I think you should have
252
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,366
sung another verse.
253
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:45,663
BARBARA: So, you gonna
tell me who the man in the
254
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:47,665
nice suit was or you
gonna keep me wondering?
255
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:49,584
Is he from the radio station?
256
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:50,793
CL: Uh, no.
257
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:53,004
You are, you are not
going to believe this,
258
00:11:53,004 --> 00:11:55,882
but he was from
Nashville NAACP.
259
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:58,051
BARBARA: Was he lost?
260
00:11:58,051 --> 00:11:59,844
CL: That's what I thought.
261
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:01,846
But two weeks from now
they want me to come down and
262
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:03,598
speak to the leadership council.
263
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:05,642
They think I can be a
voice for our people.
264
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:08,186
BARBARA: Oh, honey,
I'm so proud of you.
265
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:09,812
That's wonderful.
266
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:11,898
CL: Thank you, baby.
267
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:14,609
What's that look for?
268
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:16,861
What's worrying you?
269
00:12:16,861 --> 00:12:19,322
BARBARA: I just, just
wouldn't want the world to
270
00:12:19,322 --> 00:12:21,366
pull you away from us too much.
271
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:22,784
CL: You don't have
to worry about that.
272
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,870
Besides, I told them that
I'm only coming if it's
273
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,747
the two of us.
274
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,416
I told them to find some
accommodations at a very
275
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:32,210
lovely establishment nearby.
276
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:35,255
BARBARA: What would
I do in Nashville?
277
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:38,466
CL: We are a team.
278
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:43,304
A wife of noble character she's
worth far more than rubies,
279
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:48,935
but good things
are coming for us, Barbara.
280
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:52,063
That too.

00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,829

284
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,455
not going to be asking
softball questions.
285
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,541
Time Magazine is going to
ask what they want to ask.

TED: Not to worry, Ruth,

00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:16,170
Look, baby, you deserve it.
289
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:18,339

Aretha Franklin?

I knew we shouldn't

ARETHA: We didn't trust him.
523
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:40,734
We didn't trust him.
524
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,945
Uh, we were careful
about the way we spoke,
525
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:44,822
what we said, how we acted.
526

he know all this shit?
529
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:52,454
Did, did, did you speak
to him by yourself?
530
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:55,291
TED: He called me, yeah.

00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:57,751
He called everybody.
You know that.

you tell him, Ted?
533
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,339
TED: Nothing.
534
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:09,805
I told him the Queen's
favorite takeout,
535
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:11,348
the Queen's favorite shows.
536
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,309
He acted like I was a gopher
talking to me about that crap.
537
00:23:13,309 --> 00:23:14,810
ARETHA: Did you tell him
about our personal life?

TED: Why would I
tell him that, huh?
539
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,358
I got your back, baby.
You know that.

the question, Ted.

00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:23,736
What did you tell him?

TED: I made nice like
you told me to do.

00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:30,242
TED: I fell for it.
545
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:32,369
You fell for it.
We all fell for it.

You was pregnant

Your Momma left you and

That's not your face

they used him to quell our
legitimate discontent just
600

join me for some tea?

00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,366
you stopped by.

a second crib here with CL's
668
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:41,530
name on it?
669
00:29:41,530 --> 00:29:43,156
This is the crib we ordered.
670
00:29:43,156 --> 00:29:45,701
PAM: Oh, I'm sure
it's just a mistake.
671
00:29:45,701 --> 00:29:46,952
You know how Walker is.
672
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,787
He insists on being in
charge of everything.
673
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:52,249
BARBARA: But why would CL
be buying another crib?
674
00:29:52,249 --> 00:29:54,835
PAM: I'm sure Walker
put CL's name on the other
675
00:29:54,835 --> 00:29:57,879
tag by mistake.
676
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,508
BARBARA: It could happen.
677
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,969
Walker's a good husband.

00:30:03,969 --> 00:30:05,804

good husband too.
679

keeping busy with my hands.
682
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:17,941
I made two baby blankets.
683
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:21,236
That would be a shame
for one to go to waste.

00:30:21,236 --> 00:30:24,114
Who else is expecting
around my same time?
685

PAM: Well, you know everyone
passes through the store here.
686
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:30,746
If you'd like to
bring the blanket in,
687
00:30:30,746 --> 00:30:32,748
I can make sure it
gets to a deserving...
688
00:30:32,748 --> 00:30:38,086
BARBARA: But it would mean
so much more I'm sure if I
689
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:40,630
delivered it in person.
690
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,639

I haven't seen them in a bit,

CECIL: Hey, Ruth, my dad
wants to talk to Aretha.
712
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:11,221
He got into a huge mess
with those RNA folks he had

Aretha meet in Detroit.
714
00:32:12,681 --> 00:32:14,391

you doing another cover?

ARETHA:
Wait until he hears it.
731
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:48,466
He's going to want me to
record a whole album of covers.

KING CURTIS: Ted not
showing up today?

ARETHA: I wanted some space,
so I put my foot down.
734
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,555
He said he always has my back,
735

of things and he lies.

Maybe this Time Magazine
thing was for the best.

Whatever you do,

you gotta take care
of yourself, girl,

outshines anything
he's ever seen.
745
00:33:22,209 --> 00:33:27,088
You think you need him, but
he knows deep inside you don't
746
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:29,591
cause your voice and the
way you put all that music
747

my second voice.

I'll take that.

didn't never get together?

00:40:25,006 --> 00:40:27,425
I am a wretched man.
866
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,928
Don't let my stain be on
her garment and don't let my
867
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:32,722
wrongs cast a shadow
over her beauty.
868
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,768
Forgive me, Lord.
869
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,897
Move her.
870
00:40:40,897 --> 00:40:45,568
Just, just move her so
that she can forgive me for
871
00:40:45,568 --> 00:40:48,321
I am a wretched man.
872
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:54,577
BARBARA: I forgive you.
873
00:40:56,496 --> 00:40:59,874
CL: I am a wretched man.
874
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:05,338
BARBARA: I forgive you.
875
00:41:07,674 --> 00:41:11,010
CL: A wife of noble character
876
00:41:12,512 --> 00:41:16,391
she is worth far
more than rubies.
877
00:41:18,893 --> 00:41:20,645
I'm so sorry.
878
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:30,238
(overlapping chatter)
879
00:41:38,287 --> 00:41:41,082
ARETHA: Here's the keys to
a room upstairs in this hotel.
880
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:48,673
TED: I was hoping
that's why you invited me
to this restaurant...
881
00:41:48,673 --> 00:41:50,717
ARETHA: Oh, please,
it's not for us. It's for you.
882
00:41:50,717 --> 00:41:53,928
I packed your stuff.
It's upstairs.
883
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:56,431
TED: This is a joke.
884
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:58,016
ARETHA: It's not a joke, Ted.
885
00:41:58,016 --> 00:41:59,809
I'm done. We're through.
886
00:41:59,809 --> 00:42:01,352
TED: Look, we've been
through a lot.
887
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,311
We always figure it out.
888
00:42:02,311 --> 00:42:03,438
ARETHA: Not this time.
889
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:04,522
TED: I'm going to
get my act together.
890
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:05,940
Go on a family trip.
Take the boys.
891
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:07,400
ARETHA: You're always
going to be their Daddy, but.
892
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,109
TED: Of course, I'm going
to be the damn boys' Daddy.
893
00:42:08,109 --> 00:42:09,736
AREHA: We are through!
894
00:42:09,736 --> 00:42:10,653
TED: What you want
me to apologize or
something like that?!
895
00:42:10,653 --> 00:42:12,405
You don't want a man, do you?!
896
00:42:12,405 --> 00:42:14,282
You want somebody to
tote you and to carry and
897
00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:17,285
put up with your family shit
and cheer you on while you
898
00:42:17,285 --> 00:42:18,786
in the studio.
899
00:42:18,786 --> 00:42:20,705
ARETHA: There's a lot of things
I need but I don't need you.
900
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:22,123
TED: This is not
happening, not now.
901
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:23,666
ARETHA: You have one choice.
902
00:42:23,666 --> 00:42:26,544
You can leave or I can.
903
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:35,261
TED: You need me, Re.
904
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:37,221
