ERIC: Mmm.

- My favourite.
- I know.

Come here.

Hey, you know, if you put salt
on butter it generates heat.

- What?
- Yeah, salt and butter make heat.

- I learned it in science.
- You got a C in science.

Maybe so, but I'm telling you it works.

I'm not stupid.

No, feel it, I swear, it's hot.
It is. Feel it.

Fine.

- I don't feel anything.
- [MATT LAUGHS]

You jerk!

Hey, that was great.

[GROWLING]

[TV AUDIO CHANGES]

- Stop.
- It's what it's for.

You're making me dizzy.

[APPLAUSE]

- You made pancakes?
- I can make you some.

It'll take two seconds.

[SIGHS]

You could have told me.
I wouldn't have stayed out so long.

Sorry, Sunshine, we could have,
but we didn't.

I always get left out.

You know, Luce, if you put salt
on butter it heats up?

- No, it doesn't.
- I don't know where they learn that.

I can't imagine.

ANNIE: Are you going to let her do that?

I have to.

[LAUGHTER]

- This isn't funny.
- Matt did it to me.

[LUCY GROWLS]

That's a good one.

TV REPORTER:
Last night, a local church was burned...

I don't want to see the news.
It's not good.

...in what seems to be an unending,
devastating display of hatred...

- Mom! Dad!
- Firefighters arrived...

There's a fire at the Hamilton Church!

...the minister, who lives close by.

Police say the fire was deliberately
set, but they have no leads.

Reverend Hamilton,
this is absolutely devastating.

It will take more than a fire
to destroy what we've built.

That's Morgan.

...who burned this church need help.

Do you have any idea
who started this fire?

No, but I'd like to know.
I hope whoever did this

is prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.

- Do you think that's a possibility?
- It's not likely, but it's possible.

What are we going to do?

I don't know.

But something.

We're going to do something.

[GOSPEL SINGING]

[BELL TOLLS]

[GOSPEL SONG]

[FEEDBACK]

I want to thank the Trinity Church Choir
for being with us today.

As well as all of you
who are visiting here, welcome.

For any of my own parishioners
who are not aware of it,

Trinity Church was burned in
the middle of the night, to the ground.

I wish I say that I understood
this senseless tragedy, but I don't.

Morgan Hamilton's grandfather
built Trinity Church

and members of this community have
worshipped there for almost 100 years.

Morgan and I went to seminary together.

We've been friends for 20 years.

And I've invited him here today

to share his message with all of us,

so please help me welcome
Morgan Hamilton.

Thank you, Reverend Camden,

and thank you all for inviting us
to be here with you today.

We are grateful to you
for providing a place

where we could come to share
our grief and our anger.

I want to remind everyone here that,
although it is a great temptation,

we cannot fight hate with hate.

Even if the criminals responsible
for last night's fire are caught,

their teachers are still at large.

It is time to examine
where we are in this country today.

Are we moving forward or are we
travelling in a vicious circle?

I want each of you to ask yourselves,

what are we teaching our children today
that will make things better tomorrow?

Amen!

Amen!

So, Keesha, are you still dating
that guy you were dating?

What guy?

I don't know,
weren't you dating somebody?

You were going to apply to Tuskegee,
weren't you?

So?

[BARKING IN DISTANCE]

You guys want to play some basketball?

You think that's what we do
after church, play basketball?

Give her a break, she's on varsity,
you saw her play.

- What's your problem?
- I don't have a problem.

Oh.

I'm sorry about your father's church.

- That's the third time you said that.
- I think I'll go change now.

Yeah, I think I'll change, too.
Excuse me.

Me, too.

Um... We'll be right back, I guess.

- Boom! Shhh!
- Boom!

Why did they burn your church?

I guess because they didn't want us
to have a place to talk to God.

Oh.

Boom! Boom!

- Boom! Boom! Pow!
- Boom! Boom!

Would Batman and Robin
care to join us for a spot of tea?

- Women.
- Boys.

- Boom! Boom!
- Bang! Bang!

Hey, Nigel, why do you think
they burned your church?

Cos they're the bad guys.

Bad guys have been burning
black churches for 100 years.

They're just trying to scare us.

Well, if it hasn't worked for 100 years,
you'd think they'd give up.

Yeah, you'd think so.

I can take over if you want a break,
Morgan.

- You'd trust me alone with a salad?
- Of course I would.

I'm fine, I'm just fine.
I find cooking very relaxing.

- You should relax more often.
- Yes, I should.

Come on, sit down, let me do it.

Annie save your breath
and your strength.

As long it takes him
to make that stew

it'll take us twice as long
to clean it up.

I'll clean up.

The kids and I will clean up.

- The kids will clean up.
- That's what I thought you meant.

[ANNIE LAUGHS] Silly.

You and Patricia want to go for a walk
or something? Then I can help Morgan.

Thanks. I feel like I have been
in this kitchen all day.

That's two of us. I think the fresh air
will do me some good.

Morgan, if you have any problems,
just come to the front door and yell.

Don't worry, I've seen
what this guy can do to food.

- Stay right where you are.
- Come on, I can do that.

No, you can't.

Oh, my gosh, just a second.

Oh, hi, Keesha, did they all go off
and leave you here alone?

Keesha,
Mrs Camden is asking you a question.

- That's OK.
- Sorry, Mom, what?

I just... Lucy, hi, will you help
pick up Simon and Ruthie's things?

- This place is a mess.
- It's not my stuff.

- OK.
- Thank you.

Aren't the teen years fun?

Let's go.

- It's not fair.
- Life isn't fair. Deal with it.

I know, I'm sorry.

You apologise more than
any person I know.

I know, I'm sorry... I mean, I know.

Bam! Bam! Pow!

- Incoming, three o'clock.
- Got him.

Bam! Bam!

If you're angry at someone, tell them.
Don't just apologise for your anger.

You're right.

So...

Simon, are you gonna pick up your toys?

I can't, I'm entertaining right now.

[LUCY GROWLS]

- Hey, Luce, you hungry?
- I'm starving.

- Wow, you made that?
- Irish stew. My mother taught me.

That's great.
You should teach Dad how to make it.

- Could you hand me the salt?
- It needs salt?

No, I need the salt.

It's for Simon.

- It's the old salt and butter trick.
- I haven't seen that in years.

It's kinda making the rounds
this weekend.

- Can I ask you something?
- It's just meat and potatoes.

No, no, I wanted to know
what you're feeling about the fire.

[SIGHS]

I'm somewhere between extremely sad
and extremely angry.

That church was my legacy,

handed down from my grandfather
to my father to me.

And in one night,

with one match,
the whole thing goes up in smoke.

Everything they worked for.
Everything I've worked for.

Well, look, you know,
whatever I can do to help you rebuild...

It's just that I've got
a more immediate problem.

The arsonists left a note
saying they'd be back.

The detectives think I should
keep the family away

just in case the parish house
is the next target.

- They think they'll come back?
- They think it's just a threat,

but they want me to take it seriously
until they find out.

Where'd you stay last night?

We couldn't drop in on friends, with
a family of six. We stayed at a hotel.

You can't keep doing that.
You can stay here.

And don't say no.

Thanks, Eric, I appreciate that.

If they're here where I know
they're safe, I can go back home.

Whoever burned me out of my church
will not run me out of my house.

I knew you'd say that.

- Come on, Simon, do it.
- I don't believe you.

I swear. It's hot. You have to put
your hands right over it.

- I don't want to get burned.
- You won't get burned.

- Hey!
- Gotcha.

[LAUGHTER]

- Oh, man!
- Cool.

I understand you're upset
about your church,

but you don't have to take
your anger out on my sister.

I'm not taking anything out
on your sister,

and you don't know
anything about my anger.

You know, he happens to be really good.

Yeah, I know. He just bugs me.
I never know what to say to him.

He's probably just upset
about what happened to his church.

How would you feel
if that happened to us?

- I don't know.
- It's really scary.

Yeah, it is.

I teach all day, come home to four kids,
he's always got folks to take care of.

He's got no time for me.
Or the kids. You know how it is.

Oh, well... Yeah, I guess I do.

Please, are you gonna tell me you never
get tired of being a minister's wife?

I feel like if I opened a beer
and kicked back on the couch,

- the devil himself would show up.
- Yeah, I know that feeling.

OK, well, before we start,
Annie and I have a little announcement.

We've invited all of you to stay with us
for a couple of days,

and Morgan and Patricia
have graciously accepted.

- Dad, we're staying here?
- Yeah, but I'm going home.

Well, I'm going home, too.

Actually, John,
I'm going to be going with him

and we'd both feel more comfortable
if you stay here with Matt.

The two of you guys could be
the men of the house together.

OK, Simon, want to say the blessing?

No, I think Nigel wants to say it.

OK. Nigel?

Dear God, please stop the fires.

Good morning. What're you up to?

Well, you've made breakfast
every morning this week

so I thought I'd give it a shot.

It's an omelette.

You are the worst cook I've ever seen,
but the best friend I ever had.

- Thanks.
- What time did you get up this morning?

6.30.

OK, 4.30.

Sleeping alone
is not something I do that well.

- Me neither.
- Did you talk to Patricia last night?

Yeah, but not about the fire
if that's what you mean.

That's what I mean.

It's helped me a lot
to talk to you about it.

I'm not completely terrified to be here.
Might work with her.

You don't fool me, you're too angry
to be even a little bit scared.

Patricia's used to dealing
with threats and violence.

She teaches school.
She's braver than both of us.

Yeah, I know.

She's just mad.
She's mad at me, mad at the world.

She'll get over it, you'll see.

- No. What about the kids?
- I've talked to them about it.

They're like you and Annie, talkers.
Me and Patricia, we're not.

We know what each other are thinking,

and when one of us doesn't like what the
other one's thinking, we just let it go.

- OK.
- Yeah, see, like right now.

I know what you're thinking.
You're saying OK, but you're thinking,

"This guy is gonna mess things up
with his wife." Right?

You know what I'm thinking?
It's time we build a church.

I talked to our deacons and...

They've agreed to donate
a percentage of our building fund.

Your church treasurer dropped
a cheque off to Patricia last night.

That wasn't a percentage,
it must be every cent you have.

It's a building fund.
That's what it's for, building.

- Where's Lucy and Keesha?
- We're gonna be late for school.

There they are.

So, what do you think?

- What happened to your hair?
- I fixed it.

This is an African hairstyle
that dates back to 3500 BC.

It defined status in the community.

Can we go now?

Guys!

- You know who Rosa Parks is?
- Yes, I know who Rosa Parks is.

- Believe me, you're no Rosa Parks.
- Who's Rosa Parks?

A black woman who galvanized
the civil rights movement

by refusing to sit
in the back of the bus.

- Why did she have to sit in the back?
- That's what she asked "The Man".

- What man?
- We don't ride in the back seat.

It's fine with me.

[BEEPS HORN]

[VACUUM CLEANER]

There you are.

- Oh!
- Sorry.

- You scared me.
- I didn't mean to.

- Are you OK?
- Yeah, fine, I'm just a little tired.

- OK, what can I do to help you out?
- Nothing, really, I'm fine.

You just lost your mom,
you've got a house full of people

you're taking care of, let me help.

I don't mind taking care of everyone.
That's not what's making me tired.

It's being afraid for everyone
that's exhausting.

Hey, it's gonna be fine, really.

The cops don't think they'll come back.

It's that someone was there
in the first place.

I can't seem to get over that someone
was endangering those kids that I love.

They were sleeping right next to
the church when it went up in flames.

I know.

It's amazing they're all still alive.

Yeah.

- I really miss you.
- I miss you, too.

What're we doing?

Hey, sweetheart! Hi, Lynn.

Where's my daddy?

Well, he's working, but he's gonna be
here tonight for dinner.

Oh, good.

Why don't you guys
go down to the kitchen?

In a few minutes I'll come down and
you can help me mop the floor, OK?

BOTH: Yay!

Why is mopping the floor so fun?

Cos I can make anything fun.

That's why I'm looking forward
to my homecoming.

You got anything special planned
for that?

Oh, yes,
I'm gonna let you cut the grass.

BOTH: Yay.

You do know how much I appreciate
all your hard work?

Yeah, I know.

You'd be proud of those kids,
the way they've chipped in.

- They're good kids, all of them.
- I know.

[SHOUTING]

- Bam! Bam!
- Bam!

Boom! Boom! Bam! Bam!

Your guy's dead!

This is the latest anti-death vaccine.

And, yes, he's alive again!

No, he's not. He's dead.
Nigel can't play anymore.

- Yes, he can.
- No, he can't.

Fine, then none of us can play.
Give me back my guys. Thank you.

- Here, nigger lover.
- [GASPING]

- What did you say?
- You heard me.

Nigel's my friend.
Don't say that word.

- I just did.
- Then take it back.

- Make me.
- I don't want any part of this one.

- Take it back.
- Forget it, Simon.

You can't fight ignorance with violence.

My dad wouldn't want you to hit him
and neither would yours.

[GRUNTS]

- Hey, where's Simon?
- I don't know.

Did the teacher make him
stay after school?

- I'm not sure.
- I'll get him.

Well, what have we here?

- We're picking up my brother.
- I don't believe I was talking to you.

Whose car is this?

- It's my father's car.
- Oh, yeah?

Let me see the licence
and registration.

- What?
- Licence and registration.

You're a security guard. If you want
to see them, call a real cop.

That's a good idea.

OK, all of you, get in the car
and get out of here.

Sir, my sister went to get my brother.
We're not leaving until they come out.

This is what I do.
I keep vandals off of school property.

Get in the car.

All of you.

- What's going on?
- The usual.

- Where's Simon?
- He got suspended.

- Dad picked him up earlier.
- OK, final warning. Let's go, people!

I'm trying not to be proud of Simon,
but in a way...

- Fighting is not the answer.
- I know, but still...

He still has to punished.

Well, he got suspended,
that's a punishment.

- Not from us.
- I know.

It's just he felt completely justified
hitting that kid at the time

and you've got to admit...

Fighting is never a way
to resolve a problem.

I know.

Say it.

OK, I'm a little proud.

But I'm still gonna come up
with a punishment.

What do you want?

Didn't you understand
what happened there?

- That guy was a jerk.
- That's it? That's all you got? A jerk?

Yeah, the guy was a jerk.

Hey.

You're afraid of me, too, aren't you?

I've never threatened you, I've never
hit you or harmed you, or anyone else,

yet people are afraid of me
because I'm black.

Sooner or later the wrong person will
be afraid of me and boom, I'm dead.

I don't know about other people,
but my problem's not your skin colour,

it's your attitude. It scares me.

I never know when you'll go off
for no reason.

This isn't good. What's going on?

I got suspended.

I mean, what's with the tea party?

I thought it'd make me look good.

To who?

Mom.

Honey, I'm home. What's for dinner?

You're funny.
Why are you in such a good mood?

It's the weekend.
OK, what can I do to help?

The kids can eat here.
You want to set the table?

- No problem.
- Thanks. Did you talk to Morgan?

Yeah, I called him at lunch
after I deposited the cheque.

And, Annie, he is so grateful,
we both are.

I'm glad we could help.
Did you two talk about the fire?

No.

- You want Eric to talk to him?
- Like he hasn't already?

Those two together for a whole week, I'm
sure Eric has made Morgan talk to him.

Your husband's the best talker I know.

He has a way of cornering people,
doesn't he?

Yes, he does.

And listen,
I know you miss being cornered,

so I'll get us out of here soon,
I promise.

Besides, I'm ready to go home.

I don't want you to leave
before you feel it's safe.

Yeah, well, I don't know about that,
but we've gotten a break,

and I think we can deal with it,
and we will as soon as Morgan lets us.

- Hi, ladies. What's up?
- I'll leave you two alone.

Oh, actually, Patricia,
I wanted to talk to you.

[ANNIE & PATRICIA LAUGH]

Am I missing something?

I was just saying everything's fine.
You don't have to talk to me.

But I really wanted to talk to her.

I know you did. And I love you for it.

[HIP HOP TUNE PLAYS]

- Enough already!
- Why don't you study somewhere else?

- Because this is my room.
- It's my room, too, you know.

[SIGHS]

- You don't like me, do you?
- It doesn't matter if I do or don't.

I have a big test on Monday and I won't
wait until Sunday to study for it.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

JOHN: Could somebody pass the butter?

I think the kids took it in the kitchen.
Honey, do you mind?

Hey, Ruthie, bring us the butter!

Please!

Thanks, Matt.

Sure, Dad.

It's for John.

All right.

Did you know if you put salt on butter,
it heats up?

Uh... Maybe not now, Ruthie.

No, no, now is the perfect time.
Go ahead, Ruthie.

First you put the salt on.

It gets really hot.

Yeah.

It's ready.

Feel it, it's hot.

No, closer.

[ALL LAUGH]

Thank you, Ruthie.

By the way, Eric, we're getting a new
security system at the house tomorrow,

and the police offered us
24-hour volunteer patrol

so I think it's time we all
went back home, don't you, baby?

You know I do.

Just as soon as I got comfortable.

Me, too.

Come on, guys,
stay one more night. Morgan, too.

I mean, you can all
go home tomorrow. Start fresh.

We'll make it a big party
like the old days.

The old days? We were young
and broke and had no kids.

- We can't go back to that.
- We're still pretty young.

We're still pretty broke.
You know what we still have in the den?

Twister.

- Right foot blue. Any takers?
- Now we got us a party.

Twister?

Parents. Can't live with 'em,
can't live without 'em.

[SOUL TUNE PLAYS]

You think you're going
to feel safe in the house again?

No.

But eventually I will.

I feel so inadequate,

and I feel like if I couldn't
protect the church,

I may not be able to protect my family.

I know. But it's hard on me, too.

But I want to be with you.

I need you and so do the kids.

You don't have to do this alone.

This would be a lot easier if I was
in another line of work, wouldn't it?

Maybe.

But the truth is, I love what you do.

Did we just talk?

Yeah.

Yeah, I've been spending
way too much time with Eric.

Come on. Let's dance.

- What are you doing tomorrow night?
- It's Saturday.

I'll be getting everyone's things
ready for church

and keeping the kids away
while you finish your sermon.

Morgan's speaking on Sunday,
so I'm off the hook.

What do you say we take a big risk

and let the kids get ready for church,
and we go on a date?

- A date?
- I owe you.

I'll take you somewhere wonderful.

- Dinner?
- Sure.

- A movie?
- Absolutely.

Let's make it Sears,
the lawn mower needs repairing.

- Then Sears it is.
- [ANNIE LAUGHS]

As much as I hate to miss
the big family party, I've got a date

- so I'm out of here.
- I'm trying to sneak out myself.

We're shooting some pool
if you want to come.

Have you forgotten?
Hanging with me is trouble.

We're ministers' sons.
We're supposed to get in trouble.

I'll pass.
I just hope Dad will give me the car.

If you can't, we could go together.

Thanks, but I don't think
we'd all fit in the front seat.

I think I'll go downstairs.
You want to come?

No, thanks.

Just tell me why you don't like me.
What did I do?

OK. You just waltzed in here
and completely took over my territory.

It's like you totally hypnotized
my sister.

Oh.

I thought I was getting her
out of your way.

I don't want her out of my way.
Why did you think that?

You act like she's in the way.

- I do?
- Yeah.

She just really
gets on my nerves sometimes.

My little sister gets on my nerves
all the time.

So let me ask you something.

How come you didn't say anything sooner?

I don't know.

Did you think
I'd think you were prejudiced?

No.

Maybe. I don't know.

I really hope not.

I know you're not like that.

- Love you, Mommy.
- Love you, Lynn.

- Love you, Mommy.
- Love you, Daddy.

Love you, Lynn.

Love you, Ruthie.

- Night.
- Good night, girls.

They've had so much fun together.
Thank you, Annie.

Oh, you're welcome, glad to do it.

The church is yours this Sunday.
As long as you need it.

We can do every other Sunday
or whatever you want.

As generous as that offer is,

sooner or later, just like my family,
my congregation has to come home.

I know you're anxious,
but I think it'll take three months.

That's not really what I meant.

It'll take longer to rebuild the spirit
of the church than the church itself.

- I think you're right.
- What do you have in mind?

I want to start holding services
on the property Sunday.

You know, set up folding chairs,
a tent maybe, I don't know.

I want to be back at the very place
we were hit.

It's the best place to start the healing
and there's no time like the present.

MARY:
Hey, guys, did you brush your teeth?

Very nice.

Love you, Mary.

Love you.

Love you, Mary.

Love you.

- Love you.
- Love you.

Keesha, why do you think
someone burned down your church?

Because we're black and they think
that if they destroy our church,

they destroy our faith.

- But that doesn't make any sense.
- I know.

A roof just keeps the rain
off your head.

- MARY: Night, Keesha, Lucy.
- LUCY: Night, Mary, Keesha.

KEESHA: This is like the Waltons.

- LUCY: Except the Waltons weren't...
- MARY & KEESHA: Black. We know.

- RUTHIE: Love you, Simon.
- LYNN: Love you, Nigel.

- Love you, Ruthie.
- Love you, Lynn.

We forgot to say good night
to John and Matt.

- We can pretend. Love you, John.
- [DEEP VOICE] Love you, Lynn.

- Love you, Matt.
- [DEEP VOICE] Love you, Ruthie.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- RUTHIE: Love you, Happy.
- [HAPPY WHINES]

I'm sorry about our date.
I guess I will have to work.

That's OK.

I sorta feel like I'm in Sears
right now anyway, you know?

Except there aren't all those
pesky customers around.

What's your sermon going to be about?

I don't know. Maybe...

I just got a great idea.

- Does it involve me?
- Oh, yeah, it involves everyone.

[GOSPEL SINGING]

I'm so glad you guys are here.

- Come on, I got us in at the front.
- You know the preacher?

I had no idea I had so many friends.

We wanted you to know that we stand by
you, and we'll continue to stand by you.

Hi, Mr Roberts.
I'd like you to meet my friend, Ruthie.

- Hello, Ruthie.
- Hi, Mr Roberts.

- We can't see from down here.
- I can fix that.

Good morning.

Thank you all for coming.

It means a great deal to us
to know that you support us.

I am completely overwhelmed
by your kindness.

The only words I could find that were
powerful enough to open today's services

come from my ten-year-old son, Nigel.

"Please, God, stop the fires."
