There's some young brothers

384
00:16:39,549 --> 00:16:41,383
Why did it take you
over a year to record the

'Preacher Man' song?
386
00:16:42,635 --> 00:16:43,927
ARETHA: My father being a pastor,
387
00:16:43,928 --> 00:16:45,887
I didn't think it was appropriate.

I, I liked the tune,

396
00:17:00,361 --> 00:17:02,195
I don't sing anything I don't like.
397
00:17:02,196 --> 00:17:05,032
CECIL: When we were kids,
the girls would sing and dance
398
00:17:05,033 --> 00:17:06,992
and work out all the moves.
399

turns singing the lead.

we don't want to have to
get started on that cause

00:41:01,968 --> 00:41:05,238
BARBARA: I forgive you.
876
00:41:07,474 --> 00:41:10,910
CL: A wife of noble character
877
00:41:12,312 --> 00:41:16,291
she is worth far more than rubies.
878
00:41:18,693 --> 00:41:20,545
I'm so sorry.
879

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
880
00:41:38,087 --> 00:41:40,982
ARETHA: Here's the keys to
a room upstairs in this hotel.
881
00:41:47,096 --> 00:41:48,472
TED: I was hoping that's why
you invited me to this restaurant...
882
00:41:48,473 --> 00:41:50,516
ARETHA: Oh, please,
it's not for us. It's for you.
883
00:41:50,517 --> 00:41:53,828
I packed your stuff. It's upstairs.
884
00:41:54,896 --> 00:41:56,230
TED: This is a joke.
885
00:41:56,231 --> 00:41:57,815
ARETHA: It's not a joke, Ted.
886
00:41:57,816 --> 00:41:59,608
I'm done. We're through.
887
00:41:59,609 --> 00:42:01,151
TED: Look, we've been through a lot.
888
00:42:01,152 --> 00:42:02,111
We always figure it out.
889
00:42:02,112 --> 00:42:03,237
ARETHA: Not this time.
890
00:42:03,238 --> 00:42:04,321
TED: I'm going to get my act together.
891
00:42:04,322 --> 00:42:05,739
Go on a family trip. Take the boys.
892
00:42:05,740 --> 00:42:07,199
ARETHA: You're always
going to be their Daddy, but.
893
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:07,909
TED: Of course, I'm going
to be the damn boys' Daddy.
894
00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:09,535
ARETHA: We are through!
895
00:42:09,536 --> 00:42:10,453
TED: What you want me to
apologize or something like that?!
896
00:42:10,454 --> 00:42:12,204
You don't want a man, do you?!
897
00:42:12,205 --> 00:42:14,081
You want somebody to
tote you and to carry and
898
00:42:14,082 --> 00:42:17,084
put up with your family shit
and cheer you on while you
899
00:42:17,085 --> 00:42:18,585
in the studio.
900
00:42:18,586 --> 00:42:20,504
ARETHA: There's a lot of things
I need but I don't need you.
901
00:42:20,505 --> 00:42:21,922
TED: This is not happening, not now.
902
00:42:21,923 --> 00:42:23,465
ARETHA: You have one choice.
903
00:42:23,466 --> 00:42:26,444
You can leave or I can.
904
00:42:34,018 --> 00:42:35,060
