"I think next year, we need to do more traditional songs." "Like, not so many horns." "Not going to be any next year, Vi." "It's official." "What?" " It's too expensive and we always lose." "I'm sorry." "I don't consider making it to the regional finals anything to be ashamed of." "Of course not." "But every year?" " Wait, really?" " What?" "We didn't before that." "The money is best used elsewhere." "Well, it's not about winning or losing." "It's about giving our town something to believe in." "A reason to drive 300 miles and have a little something to cheer about instead of sitting home, watching everything fall apart." "It's about praising his name." "And we can praise his name on Sunday in our own church." "I didn't create this economy." "It's been settled." "P is for polar bear." "Did you see her face when we lost?" "She was actually surprised." " She be saying "less horns" when..." " Olivia, do the voice." "Less horns." "When what she needs to do is get rid of the tired old-timey arrangements..." " ...and let you get your hands on them." " Mm-hm." "And let Earla choreograph us some moves." "Ah, like that's gonna happen." "It could." "We just have to convince her, that's all." "All right." "Keep your voice down." " She's at work." "She can't catch you here." " You're scaring the animals." "See, they're all staring at us." " It's because you're so hot." " Shut up." "Look at the yak." "He's totally into you." "Come on." "What do I have to do to cheer you up?" "Huh?" " Hey." "Hey." "Come on." "Let's go." " Go where?" "Come on." "Don't you worry about where we're going." " Don't take my blanket, I'm comfortable." " Don't care." "Give me your hand." " Where?" " Ha-ha-ha." "Don't worry about it." "If we go outside, I need my shoes." " Okay, I got them." "Where we going?" " I told you, on a date." "A date where?" "We left town an hour ago." "It's a surprise." "My mother's gonna kill us both." "At least we'll die together." " She could be somewhere dead in a ditch." " Oh, don't be so dramatic." "There's no reason to think like that." "Kids run off all the time." "Mostly, they come right back." "It's not like Randy's never pulled a stunt like this before." "This is your fault." "You brought that hoodlum into our lives." " No wonder his parents kicked him out." " You don't wanna go there, Vi." "The best thing you can do is just go about your business." " I will call you as soon as I hear anything." " Go about my business?" "Yeah, right." "Hey." "Hey, wake up." "Daddy?" "You called him?" "I took a pretty big chance here." "I'd really appreciate it if you'd smile." "Just walk away, Renée" "Oh...." "You won't see me follow you...." "That's his favorite song." "Hmm." " How's your mama?" " She's changed, Daddy." "Don't blame your mama for that." "Being left alone can change anybody." "I was the one that ran out." "Randy, can you give us a minute?" "I'll be outside." "Look." "I could've stayed." "Now, Olivia, listen to me." "This ain't a easy thing to say to your daughter." "I could've tried harder." "The truth is I couldn't..." "I couldn't face knowing that I failed your mama." "No job, no money." "I saw it every time she looked at me." "I know that look." "No, no, no." "She was sweet back then." "You remember how she used to be." "I thought the only thing I could do for y'all was leave and send a paycheck home." "Your mama is the best person I ever met." "And it took being away from her to realize that." "And now I need you to love her." "And love her hard." "Because I don't think she's gonna want me again." "And that...." "That is a hard thing to live with." "That's not true." "She always watches those home movies with you both dancing." "And I see the way her face looks when we read our letters." "She tries to fight it, but I know she misses you." "What letters?" "Baby, I haven't sent any letters." "I think your mama must have been writing them." "I'm sure she thought it was a good thing." "I have to get back." "I want to be with you." "Baby, I ship out soon." "It's my job." "You worried?" "Me too." "Did you know gospel is the only musical genre with no one-hit wonders?" "No." "Why you love gospel so much, Mama?" "Why you ask?" "Because I just don't understand what's so great about God." "You don't mean that." "Seems like he don't do much around here that I can see." "Give me those glasses." "Let me see that sweet face of yours." "Baby, you have to think of God as a parent." "You know when I punish you or make you eat your greens you may not like it, but you know I love you, no matter what, right?" "Right." "Even if you don't understand why I do what I do." "Well, just like I'm your mother, God is our father and we have to have faith because we know he loves us, no matter what." "But...." "But what, baby?" "You spend all your time singing songs and praising God and he's who did this to me." "He made me this way." "If you loved me, you'd hate him." " I do." " No." " I hate him." "I do." " Walter." "Don't say that, Walter." "I just wish I could be normal for you, Mama." "For me?" "Baby, you don't have to be anything except exactly who you are." "I love you." "Come here, come here." "They broke the mold when they made you." "And when someone don't fit into a neat little box the answer ain't to squeeze them in there even harder." "You build a bigger box." "Shoot, God don't make no mistakes, Walter, and he ain't about to start with you." "Fix me, Jesus" "Fix me" "Oh, fix me" "Oh, fix me" "Oh, fix me" "Fix me, Jesus" "Fix me" "Fix me for my home on high" "Fix me, Jesus, fix me" "Fix me for the by and by" "Fix me, Jesus, fix me" "Fix me for my starry crown" "Fix me, Jesus, fix me" "Fix me for a higher ground" "Fix me, Jesus, fix me" "Oh, fix me" "Oh, fix me" "Oh, fix me" "Fix me, Jesus, fix me" "Fix me, Jesus, fix me" "Fix me, Jesus" "Oh, fix me" "Fix me, Lord." "Hello?" "Don't do anything stupid over there." "You've never been the bravest man." "Don't abandon that quality now that it can actually do you some good." "Now, most husbands would take offense at that." "Be safe." "You gotta know this is gonna be the longest ride of your life." "Why'd you lie to us?" "What, just because he didn't write?" "He left to support us." "You think every man who's out of work leaves their family for two years?" "Leaves their wife at home to raise two kids alone?" " Maybe that's the only choice he saw." " Maybe it's the only choice he wanted to see." "Maybe he just wanted out." "He doesn't think you'd want him back." "That's what he told me." "Guess he was right." "Personally, if I were him, that'd be music to my ears because I don't know who would wanna come back to you." "You will not talk to me like that." "You don't know the first thing about our marriage, or any marriage." "Of course you adore him." "People who ain't around make very few mistakes." "But he left." "Just remember that." "He left." "You better control your mouth, young lady." "And don't you dare say a word to your brother." "Hey." "Hey." "Mm." "Well, you ain't walking too funny." "She couldn't have whipped your ass that hard." "What, you're not talking to me?" "You do know that you're not gonna be able to keep that up, right?" "She may be the wicked bitch of the west down here but take her to my neighborhood..." " ...she'd fold like a pair of twos." " Don't you call her that." " What?" "You say the same thing." " I can talk about her that way." "You can't." "I knew what she was like." "I shouldn't have let it get this far." "And I'm sorry I ever did." "My mother won't let me see you anymore outside of choir." "What?" "No, no, no." "Hey." "Don't follow me." "This is crazy." "I love you." " You get my note?" " Mm-hm." "I got it." "Do you think that's an acceptable way to say goodbye?" "Randy, I'll drive you anywhere you want to go." "No questions asked." "Even if it's out of this town forever." "But, hon, sooner or later, you're gonna have to grow a set." "You can't spend your whole life running." "Why should I stay?" "Vi Rose hates me." "Olivia loves me, but she won't go against her mother." "There is one other reason you might consider staying." " What is that?" " So you can sing with the choir in the finals in Los Angeles." "That's right." "Detroit got disqualified." "How come?" "Because half their choir was made up with paid professionals." "I knew they couldn't be that good." "How'd they get caught?" "It was you, wasn't it?" "Pacashau thing." "Well, you're darn tooting." "I mean, trying to fool me is like trying to sneak sunrise past a rooster." "Ha-ha." "Those weaselly, no-good cheats." "I tell you, you can't trust no one outside of the state of Georgia." "How many times I tell you and your brother that?" "What you looking for?" "I'm looking for the other choir who made the finals in our category." "Don't you wanna know who we going up against?" " Maybe you got it wrong, G.G." " No." "Got it right here, Our Lady of Perpetual Tears." "I ain't never heard of them, and I heard of everybody." "They don't sound like they'll be a barrel of laughs." "Must be good if they made it to finals." "It don't matter who they are." "Don't change what we do one bit." "We just go to Los Angeles and we do our very best." "That's all we can do." "What?" "What you two cooking up?" "I may not be on the council, but I am its largest contributor." "And I will see to it we get to the finals under one condition." "Oh." "And what is that?" "You have to do new songs, and use Randy's arrangements." "It is the right thing to do, Vi." "Our town needs to win." "Please, Mama, for once, don't be stubborn." "You're the only one in the whole choir who doesn't want to do it." "You're right." "So maybe I should be the one to leave." "Vi." "You'll finally be choirmaster." "I guess you finally got what you wanted." "I guess people really can do without a hammer after all." "Hi, Miss G.G." "Vi, I had no idea you had to take another job." " You have to come back to the choir." " I'm busy." "I don't know what you're so ticked off about." "I'm the one that got passed over for the job." "And now I'm asking you to take it." "You just don't like me, do you?" "And you never really have." "Amen, sister." "Well, why?" "I'd like to know." "Why?" "Hmm." "Maybe it's the way you undermine me or the way you tried to blackmail me." "Well, now, that was a little shortsighted, I admit." "But sometimes a small sin is justified in the pursuit of a higher purpose." "And that's another thing." "That condescending, wise-old-owl thing you do." "It must really gripe your ass to know there's somebody that you can't charm." ""G.G.'s so hilarious, she's so earthy."" "Well, I am who I am." "Maybe you were, five procedures ago." "Now you whoever you need to be to make everybody love you." ""Oh, G.G.'s so larger than life."" "Well, it pisses me off." "You want to know what pisses me off?" " Not particularly." " You are gonna hear it." " It is your holier-than-thou..." " Oomph!" "...pious, rigid self-righteousness." "Who gives a rat's ass if I've got a few little nips and tucks." "God didn't make plastic surgeons so they could starve." "But you could use a complete face lift." "I feel fine about myself." "Well, I don't see how you could, you old, hateful heifer." "Your daughter didn't even come to her own father's funeral." "You are so convinced your way is the only way there is." "Infallible, untouchable, unlovable Vi Rose Hill." "Quit it with those nails, Edward Scissorhands." "When did you get so old?" "You're 40, going on 100." "I'm old?" "You read the Bible to reminisce." "Ha!" " Yeah, what?" "I'm talking about inside, Vi." "You are old inside." "Hmm." " And I wish, just one time you'd try to see things from my point of view." "I'd love to see things from your point of view but I just can't seem to stick my head that far up my ass." "Oh, you just...." "Hey, hey." " I'm so sick of you, I could puke." " Ow!" "Ow!" " What?" "You see, I tried." "She hit me with water." " She hit me with rolls." " Let go." "You know the rolls in here are hard as hell." "Stop it." "Ow!" " See, get this." "Get this." "Well, you're breaking my hair." "Would you stop." "It took me a half a day to do this." " I could tear this hair up right now." " Ah, don't." "Wouldn't you like that?" "Wouldn't you like that, huh?" "My doctor does good liposuction too, if you'd like his card." " Get this on there." " I got it." " Yeah." "Put that online." " Vi Rose." "Wha...?" " Ladies, that's enough." "That is enough." " Ow!" "What are we doing?" "Well, I'll tell you what I'm not doing, I'm not coming back to the choir." "Well, Vi Rose, you are fired." " I'm fired?" " Yes." "You didn't...?" "Didn't you...?" "You...?" " This is all your fault." " No, no." "That's enough, that's enough." "Vi." "G.G., we are not going out like this." "Not you, not me and not this choir." "Sweetheart, sometimes you just have to know when to fold your cards." "Who are you?" "You are not my gorgeous grandma." "I know that song." "Yeah, I used to sing it with your granddaddy." "Then he used to waltz me around that big old yard." "I know how much you miss him." "God, it's just like my heart don't beat right anymore." "It's like, when he was here, I felt like I could just do anything." "Not now." "Can I hear the song?" "No." "It's a duet." "Well, I know it." "God knows I heard it enough times." "I could hold out my arms" "Say, "I love you this much"" "I could tell you how long I will long for your touch" "How much and how far Would I go to prove" "The depth and the breadth Of my love for you?" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" " Who else in this world" " Who else in this world" " Will love you like that?" " Will love you like that?" " Love everlasting" " Love everlasting" " I promise you that" " I promise you that" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" "I want you to know You can always depend" "On promises made And love without end" "No need to wonder How faithful I'll be" "Now and on into eternity" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" " Who else in this world" " Who else in this world" " Will love you like that?" " Will love you like that?" " Forever and always" " Forever and always" " I'll be where you're at" " I'll be where you're at" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" "From here to the moon and back" "I would blow you a kiss From the star where I sat" "I would call out your name" "To echo through the vast" "Thank heaven for you" "And to God tip my hat" " From here to the moon and back" " From here to the moon and back" "And I'll spend forever" "Just proving that fact" "From here to the moon and back" "From here to the moon" "And back" "You can still do anything." "You're damn skippy." "Just stay for one rehearsal." "Those people worked so hard." "And your ego's letting them all down." "My ego?" "Didn't you teach us to never quit?" "Look at Walter." "He'll have to go through more than you and I will ever have to." "But he doesn't quit." "Not ever." "Well, if you quit now, you're quitting on God." "What's that supposed to teach him?" "Okay." "Five, six, seven, eight." "Pah, pah, pah, unh." "Okay, come on, G.G. Here we go." "Unh, unh, unh." "Okay, good." "Let's go." "Come on, Caleb." "Earla, you already killed one man." "I got high blood pressure too, you know?" " It's for the Lord, people." " Pah, pah, pah, unh." "Come on." "Yeah." "Pah, pah, pah, unh." "Earla, get your Beyoncé out of my face." "It's coming down." "Pah, pah, pah, pah." "Oh, sorry." "Just popping for the Lord." "Our band is good, but they ain't never gonna be great." "Not without some help." " What do you want?" " You." "And your guitar." "You must be out your mind." "I heard you play all my life." "All those summer house-party jams." "You're incredible, Manny." "You know we're going to L.A., right?" "Thousands of people in the audience." "Someone could hear you who might actually matter." "That ain't never gonna happen in Pacashau." "Okay, stop, stop, stop." "I'm not feeling it, Earla." "Maybe what you need is something to feel." "Yo, what's up?" "Oh!" "You're the man." "Oh, yeah, that's easy." " Whoo-hoo!" "Woo-hoo!" "Mm-hm." "Aah!" "This morning, the choir's got something a little different to sing for y'all." "Oh" "Do you know what What you mean to me?" "My world was turning upside down" "I would've been so lost without you" "You are all that perfect love should be" "You came and saved me from myself" "You leave him to me." " This is bigger than a notion" " Notion" " Freely give you my devotion" " Uh-huh" "Never thought I'd find someone Who loves the way you do" " It does so much, I wanna tell it Uh-huh" "Feels so good, I wanna yell it" "I surrender everything I am" "To you and only you I'm yours" "Let me guess, you didn't like it." "Frankly, I'm surprised at Vi Rose." "Oh, don't blame her." "Randy had to drag her kicking and screaming." " So it was his doing." " Well, it was everyone's doing." "The choir goes back to its old style or I withdraw the competition application." "And as for Randy, we just can't take a chance." "You don't want Randy in the choir?" "There's too much at stake." "I've known that boy his whole life." " He's just had a couple of bad breaks, is all." " He kidnapped Olivia Hill." "Oh, they ran away." "They came right back." "He completely changed the way the choir sings." " Who knows what he'll do next." " We'll lose, Pastor." "Why, I love those old songs better than anybody." "I helped Bernie write them." "But Randy's right, we gotta shake them up." "Without being sponsored by a church, you cannot perform." "Those are competition rules." "Well, you withdraw your support you leave me no choice but to withdraw my support." "If you know what I'm saying." "He's my family." "Well, I suppose you'll have to follow your conscience and I'll follow mine." "Oh, I shushed those loud boys during your sermon." "I told them people were sleeping." "California, here we come." "I don't know why we're even bothering without Randy." "And singing those old arrangements." " Ugh." " Ugh." "You all right?" "It seems like God's using me for target practice these days." "Makes it kind of hard to feel the spirit." "Caleb, he is God." "If he wanted to shoot you, he wouldn't miss." "Heh, trust me, you'll feel his spirit again." "And when you do, you'd better look out." "What's going on?" "Did you just hit me?" "You were snoring." "So?" "I got a lot to snore about." "Where you going?" "To the bathroom." "With your shoes on?" "Get back in the bed." "Olivia Hill, don't you walk out that door." "I'm not a kid anymore." "Only kids say that." "You make me run, it'll be the last thing you do." "Can you actually believe I'm gonna let you wander the streets by yourself?" " Something could happen to you." " Like you care." " And what is that supposed to mean?" " It means you hate me." "Anybody would think you were dropped on your head." "Get back in that room." "You do." "You hate me." "Don't deny it." "Now, I know it feels like Randy is the sun and the moon and the stars all wrapped up in one right now but, baby, look around." "Nobody ends up with the boy they liked when they were 16." "You'll get over him." "This isn't about that." "I told him I don't want to see him anymore because you made me." "This is about me." " Why do you think I hate you?" " Lots of reasons." " Name one." " Because I'm pretty." " Heh, excuse me?" " Don't bug your eyes out at me." "You hate that I'm pretty, because you don't feel pretty." "I defended you to Randy." "But now, I'm just trying to cut through the bullshit, Mama." "Once and for all." "You know how sad that is?" "For you to feel that way about yourself?" "You are the only one you hate more than me." "No matter how much you sing that church music God doesn't seem interested in helping you out with that." "Don't you bring God into your ugly, petty, adolescent bullshit." "That's right, I can cuss too." "Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit." "It's lazy and it has no class, but it's not hard." " You think I'm not pretty?" " I didn't say that." "I am an incandescent, board-certified supermodel, baby." "I happen not to flaunt it because I am a married woman and I would never disrespect my husband the way you just disrespected your mother." "But beautiful as you are, and you are very, very beautiful I would hang mirrors all over my house if I could, just to look at myself." "I'd put one on the refrigerator just to watch myself eat all of them calories." "And if I gave myself a heart attack from all that food, I'd just give myself CPR." "Because I'm a nurse." "That's right, I save lives." "And that is not bullshit." "Now I am through talking to you for the foreseeable future so my advice to you would be to get your little narrow behind back in that room get back in that bed, and you treat my snoring like it is a Marvin Gaye love song." "That's right, you respect my snoring." "Because it comes from exhaustion." "From working hard to put food in you and your brother's stomachs and every stitch of clothes on y'alls' backs." "Get in that room." "You didn't have to stay behind for me." "Oh, I didn't." "I'm flying out with the pastor." "I don't think I could do three days cooped up in a bus with those hot messes." "But I'm not done yet." "I've been calling every church in this town trying to see if I can get somebody else to sponsor us instead." " And?" " Well, no luck so far." "I keep trying to think what your granddaddy might do." "He'd probably say not to put yourself through this anymore." "I mean, he loved that church, but he loved you more." "What'd you just say?" "I said he loved that church, but he loved you more." "He loved that church, but he loved me more." "Bernie, you old son of a Baptist." "I read you loud and clear." "Ha-ha." "I know what to do." "I know what to do." " Stop." " I know what to do." "I know what to do." "Really?" "We're in Los Angeles." "There's the sign." "Hey, good morning, Pastor." "What are you doing here?" " What's that?" " Well, it's Randy's ticket to the Joyful Noise finals." "It's the certificate for the establishment of a church." "That's right." "Did you know that anyone can become legally ordained as a minister?" "You can do it online, just takes five minutes." "Pastor G.G. Has a nice ring to it, don't it?" "The competition folks don't care what church sponsors as long as somebody does." "Well, I'd prefer to be sponsored by this church." "But I told you once before, I will not let you screw with my family." "Now, we have exactly one hour and 47 minutes to drive 92 miles to the airport if he's gonna make it in time for the show tonight." "Oh, don't do something we're gonna all look back on and regret." "Oh, my God, we're never gonna make it." "Step on it." "If we have an accident, we'll certainly never make it." " Are you crazy?" "Step on the gas." " Well, fine." "Pacashau Choir, your dressing room's gonna be on the other side of the stage." "Oh, look." "Oh." "People are gonna fill all those seats?" "No." "Go for house lights." "People are gonna fill all those seats." "Lunch is being set up in the foyer." " Um, is this seat taken?" " Only by you." "How do you do?" "I'm from Pacashau Sacred Divinity Choir." "Earla Hughes." "He had high blood pressure." "That's weird." "Hey, are you okay?" "It's all right." "Mr. Hsu was the first man I had been with in four years." "Do you think God was trying to punish me because we weren't married?" "Girl, if that's how he operated most men would be dead by their senior year in college." "You are a beautiful, intelligent woman." "And I know you will meet a wonderful guy." "I'll tell you what." "If you're right, I'll dance a jig and do a split." "She said if I'm right, she gonna do a split." "I'd like to see that." "Look." "Look." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the finals of the National Joyful Noise Competition." "Y'all ready?" "Here we go." "Take a load off your mind" "Ride the mighty glory" "Listen to my story Ride the mighty high" "Take a load off your mind" "Ride the mighty glory" "Listen to my story Ride the mighty high" "I really liked your choir." "I thought you guys were good." "Let's, uh, find somewhere we can talk." "Can I give you some advice?" "Don't stay mad so long at your mama and go get that boy." "Trust me, your mama will get over it and you'll both forget what it is you got mad about to start with." " I'm afraid it's already too late." " No, the clock ain't run out yet." "He's still seeing you like a little girl." "You gotta show him a woman." "Come on and ride the mighty high" "Y'all ready to hear some good music tonight?" " Come on and ride the mighty high" " Ride the mighty high" "Because there's some folks back there who are ready to sing for you." "You look amazing." "Mm-hm." "Excuse me, Miss Hughes?" "Oh...." "They're my warm-ups." ""Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat."" " Mm-hm." " My name's Justin." "Hi." "Earla Hughes." "I know who you are." "I've been following your choir from competition to competition." " Why would you do that?" " For you." "Wow, that really made it sound like you need a restraining order." "It was only two competitions." "And I happened to be in Georgia, because I'm moving there for work." "Look, I know I don't know you but you just seem so special." "Is that creepy?" "This may seem like a strange question but you don't have high blood pressure, do you?" "That is a strange question, but no." "I'm healthy as an ox." " Ah...." " People in my family live to be 90." "Uh-uh!" "Come on and ride the mighty high" "If you're in trouble" "Come on and ride" "The mighty high" "Oh, my God, you're all grown-up." "How did I not notice?" " This must be for that boy." " Like you care." "Hey." "It gives me no joy to see you unhappy." "Don't you know that?" "I love you." "And I'm very, very proud to be your mother." "And you love me too." "Otherwise you wouldn't be hugging me right now." " I'm not hugging you." " Any second now." "Don't try to fight it." "You know it's gonna feel so good." "There we go." " I'm sorry, Mama." " Oh...." " I don't know what's wrong with me." " Girl, you 16." "And let's face it, your life has been no day at the beach." "Please welcome our first finalist from Pensacola, Florida..."
