:20:01
- so I guess I am by now.
- Umm.
:20:04
In this house,
we are Baptists.
:20:06
Yes, the good reverend doctor
was the head of his own flock,
:20:10
the Hard Rock
Baptist Church.
:20:13
The devil and his cohorts conspired
to oust me from my congregation.
:20:17
Now, Daddy, you know...
:20:19
the devil ain't had
nothin' to do with it.
:20:21
It was you... you and your
stubbornness. That's all.
:20:24
"For it must needs be that
offenses come into the world;
:20:28
but woe unto him
by whom the offense cometh."
:20:34
I recognize the devil's
handiwork when I see it.
:20:37
- That's good.
- Please,
:20:39
let's not argue
at the dinner table.
:20:43
Flipper, have you
met Angie's folks?
:20:48
Not as of yet.
:20:50
Well, my mother passed away
and my father, he's, uh...
:20:54
he's asked me to leave.
:20:56
- I'm sorry.
- That's all right.
:20:59
I just don't think
we'll be having dinner there soon.
:21:02
Has Flipper told you about
his loving wife and daughter?
:21:06
Yes, he has.
:21:09
Um, excuse me.
:21:15
You think I don't
understand about the white woman...
:21:17
committing black adultery,
but I do.
:21:20
Now, Daddy,
no sermons, please.
:21:22
There was a lot of lynchings
in Willicoochee, Georgia...
:21:25
where I come from
when I was a boy.
:21:27
Willicoochee, Georgia!
What a name!
:21:31
Willicoochee.
:21:33
White man say to his woman:
"Baby, you are the flower...
:21:36
"of white Southern womanhood,
too holy and pure...
:21:40
"to be touched by any man,
including me.
:21:43
"I'm gonna put you
up on a pedestal...
:21:46
"so the whole world will
fall down and worship you.
:21:48
"And if any nigger
so much as look at you,
:21:52
I'll lynch his ass."
:21:55
She believed him,
thought she really was...
:21:57
holy and pure,
like the Virgin Mary.
