"[Music playing]" "TEMPTRESS:" "Come on in." "The door's open." "Do you always leave your door open like that?" "Or was it because you just couldn't wait to see me?" "TEMPTRESS:" "That's it."

"[Chuckles in response]" "This is quite a place you have here." "TEMPTRESS:" "I did it all myself." "So, how do you like the bed?" "Now, I think you can tell a lot about a woman" "By the kind of bed she sleeps in." "Now, this freaky bed says to me that you are one hot natured" "Freakazoid that can't wait to jump my bones," "Because you know I've got to keys to your place."

"What do you mean why haven't I been calling your back?" "Why don't you call me back?" "Somehow, I didn't get your message." "Oh, well, probably not getting it, since grandma" "Labeled me public enemy number one" "Since I committed a crime somehow" "By moving up to New York." "But Grandma is Grandma."

"It would have been a scandal." "Well, this is home." "Listen, I... um..." "I just wanted to say" "That I don't... you're not on trial here." "And I'm not here to judge you." "I'm not... all I want..." "I'm just here..." "I just want to hang." "All right, we'll hang." "Look at you." "It look good, right?" "Look at you." "Sharp as a tack." "You don't look like somebody I went to the school of ministry" "With." "Ooh, the school of ministry." "Joel, that seems like ages ago." "Man, I love what you are doing and that's for you to do." "But the... uh... the move for me was to get out of there early" "And come do this acting gig, because it's the only thing" "I know how to do." "I know what this over here." "What?" "I know what this is." "Oh." "This must be..." "Yes." "Is this Bertha?" "That's my girl." "That is my girl." "We have been through three sequels together." "And... uh... it's my favorite film souvenir." "I don't get to use it much except when" "I go out to the range." "But love it." "I can't get... be careful." "Why?" "I keep the knives sharpened and I keep the guns loaded" "Because movies is one thing, but... uh..." "Life is a whole lot tougher." "So you really think that coming to New York" "Was the right thing to do, huh?" "We'll have none of the mushy stuff." "I told you I got guns and knives and bachelor clocks and radios." "This manly shit... we're going to do one hug, and then quit it." "All right?" "Let me close the curtains so nobody..." "How do you like New York so far?" "New York is stupid, wild..." "Is that... no... now you" "Said it like that earlier now." "Come on." "Why you going to do this to me?" "You got them ugly brown shoes on." "Now, you're trying to get down with that... you just... you" "Preach." "I'll teach." "All right?" "OK, anyway." "New York is um..." "New York is wild." "There like these massive amounts of people." "It's not like there's this little" "Over here, little over there." "Everywhere." "Everybody is like a character." "Yeah, but let me tell you something, man." "There is a lesson in what we saw today." "And yes, the teacher will help you to them." "OK, OK." "What you saw today, young brother," "Were victims, economics, and violent Reaganomics." "And I say that to say that the small town" "We come from and the people there, they... they are reality." "But no more so than the knuckleheads and the people" "That you bumped into walking down the streets of New York." "You can't be sheltered from the truths of our life" "And then go out and do your ministry." "Right?" "Right." "You've got to climb up and see over" "On both sides of that fence." "You digging what I'm saying." "Yeah, but... what you're saying then essentially is that" "It's... essentially it's unfair to orate" "From a glass house perspective is what you're saying." "Well, if you want to condense my speech, man..." "Well..." "I... you're just a tad bit long winded." "Hey, partner, this is my house." "I'll talk as long and as loud as I want." "I pay the rent here." "Don't you come from North Carolina" "Telling me how long to talk." "Just get the point." "Joel, no seriously, the streets are real." "They're too real." "Oh, man, I almost forgot." "I met a woman." "What did you say you met a wo'om?" "Yeah, buddy." "I'm starting to hear a little bit of that country come out." "Oh, why... yes, yes 'um." "I met a woman." "I got to tell you about her." "Michael Jackson said he was bad." "He didn't know what bad meant." "This honey I met the other night was bad." " Bad?" " Bad." "Who's bad?" "Super bad." "You know what I'm saying?" "All right." "All right." "OK?" "Well?" "OK All right, man." "First off, right of the bat, she ain't no joke." "She's sweet." "No one comes here without an appointment" "Or unless I bring them here myself." "And there's more." "She's really polite." "Is there a problem?" "No." "And she like looks sexy." "She is sexy." "But she comes across innocent." "Did I do something wrong?" "Yes." "Do not kiss me." "Don't get me wrong." "I ain't bitten or smitten, none of that." "Cool." "But... uh... this is someone I really think I" "Could... uh... get to like a lot." "My guess is... uh..." "She's a pussy cat." "[Screaming]" "We should swing by the club where I met her, because... uh..." "She'd probably be there." "And I want to see her again." "And you'd like it because the bar is New York down" "And it would trip your little country ass." "Oh, but... you know that I don't drink" "Well, we can get you some milk." "Can we take the milk and like put it in a beer mug" "And like could we say..." "Well, actually can we slide" "The thing all the way down?" "What?" "You want him to sling it down like the Westerns?" "No, no, like adults do in a bar." "You's a country boy." "[Gasping]" "Go back there..." "What do you want me to wear?" "No, no, no, no, you're not going to put that on." "Don't never touch none of that garbage again." "Go back there and just... go back." "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. no." "No, no no, Joel, snappy." "No." "Yeah?" " I... uh..." " Yeah?" "I don't what to tell you." "See, I try to do the hat like you." "Um..." "See, I tried to do the hat like you." "No, you better get back in there, brother." "This has got to be better." "This has got to be better." "This... that's not too bad." "That's not too bad." "Yeah?" "If you change the pants though." "Go ahead, kid." "Look at you." "Look at you." "Can I get five in this town?" "Damn." "Looking kind of sharp." "Look at the Jordans." "Like father like son." "Easy now." "[Music playing]" "Hey, uh... excuse me." "I don't want to stare at you or nothing." "I know that you're trying to be low key and everything," "But I know that you know that I know who you are, right?" "I saw you in that magazine." "Yes, I was featured in..." "Penthouse, right?" "Right?" "I got that at home." "I got it on my wall right next to the bed." "Really?" "Well, you're mistaken, because I was featured in Vogue, darling." "Yeah right." "Look, darling, I don't never forget no... anyway that was you" "I saw." "I said it wasn't me." "Who are you?" "Hey, doll, long time no see." "I know." "What do you say, let's get out of here" "And go rocking for old times sake, all right?" "I'd love that, sweetie." "Yeah" "Yeah, it was you too." "So go on with that old don't you want" "To dance tonight suit wearing..." "The car, did you change the combo?" "Move the car?" "You look kind of happy there, dude." "I... um..." "I um... actually..." "Actually?" "Um..." "I..." "I met someone." "Get out of here." "You met someone..." "I..." "I been here two minutes." "Two minutes I was gone and met someone without my help?" "You met someone?" "But there's... it gets even better." "OK" " She's pretty." " She's pretty?" "She's probably blind." "But that's cool." "You got on my suit." "You're looking prime." "Hey." "This is..." "A lady [inaudible]." "Joel, this is cute." "But..." "I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met before." "In fact, I'm sure of it." "But so nice to meet you." "Joel, I asked the bartender to make" "Me that drink I told you about." "He's going to order it." "Right now?" "Uh, huh." "Oh, OK, well, let's go." "That's cute." "You all go have a good time." "All right, come on now, Joel, come on back." "Hey, stop playing." "Bring my girl back over here, man." "Joel." "Hey, wait." "Hey, wait." "Hey, yo." "I ain't trying to cock block or nothing," "But we are looking in the same direction." "And if you're checking out home girl over there" "In red dress with the young boy, let me" "Tell you, man, she's bad news." "Thank you very much, brother." "But I'm already hip." "That girl's on a mission." "I ain't not punk or nothing, man." "I'm 100% man, but, hey, that bitch" "Scares the shit out of me." "Scares you?" "I know why too." "I think know the deal on her." "[TV playing quietly]" "So... um... what happened with you and the lady in red." "Looked like you all was having a good time." "We talked." "Had a drink." "K:" "You had a drink?" "You sure did." "I saw you." "It's funny." "You know, Joel, it didn't look like milk in your glass." "There wasn't milk in the glass." "But there wasn't alcohol in the glass either." "OK?" "K:" "Let me ask you a question, Mr. Non Alcohol." "We're both men." "And we both know attractive women when we see them." "Let's say you and a certain attractive woman decided you..." "Uh... really dug each other." "And she gets you worked up." "Would you jump in them drawers?" "Would you jump in them drawers?" " No, I would not." " Why?" "You know that I wouldn't." "It's against everything that I believe" "In, everything I've been taught, everything that..." "No, I wouldn't." "Fornication is a sin." "I..." "I don't even know why you're asking me this." "All right, cool." "Look, Joel, you said yourself that New York is wild, right?" "JOEL:" "Right." "K:" "Right?" "Yeah, right." "K:" "OK, I'm just trying to protect" "You from all this craziness." "Well, you know what?" "I'll tell to what, I can take of myself." "All right?" "All right, bad ass." "JOEL:" "Fine, so it's no secret." "We all know Joel as been sheltered." "But you know what?" "I can take care of myself." "I don't understand what the big deal is." "I can handle myself." "I don't understand." "I don't want to fight." "You can't fight." "What do you mean I can't fight, punk?" "Give me five." "Give you five." "Can't fight though." "And don't call me no punk." "What do you want me to call you?" "My baby, God, please take care of my baby." "Joel is the last one of his line." "Soon it's all going to be over." "All of it." "[Knocking]" "Hi, Joel." "Hi." "I met you that one time at the club with Joel, right?" "Um..." "I..." "I'm just want to grab something real quick." "And I'll be right back." "OK." "Hurry up though We want to take advantage of this gorgeous day" "Out." "OK." "No, dear, I believe it was twice we met at the club." "TEMPTRESS:" "Really?" "Yeah, really." "What was you name again?" "You know god damn well what name is." "Let me ask you question." "What kind of dope are you smoking, baby?" "What kind of... what kind of game are you..." "[Tense music playing]" "Something wrong, K?" "I... uh..." "[Foot steps]" "JOEL:" "I'm ready." "OK." "Bye, K. We'll be seeing you again real soon, I'm sure." "Joel?" "Now, wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, I know what I just saw." "Oh, girl, you got a nuclear butt." "You know that?" "You've got one of them explosive booties." "Boy, you're breaking my cameo phrase, owe." "You're on my cameo now." "I'm the lead singer." "Word." "Dougy, you got to believe me." "Hey, man, what's wrong with you?" "You look like you had to sit through a Cher video twice." "Bartender, get this kid a beer quick..." "No." "It's an emergency." "No, I don't need a beer." "Beer's not going to help me." "Beer's not going to help us now." " Us?" " Us." "It's about that chick we was talking about, man." "That weird thing?" "Yes." "It's like I told you." "We practically boned up on top of the bar the night" "I met here." "She comes over to my crib, looking for Joel." "You mean, the young kid she was with?" "For Joel." "Now that's my homie boy." "Come, come, now." "I figure she got to be flinting." "So I wait till Joel leaves the room." "And I call her on it." "I say, yo, baby, what kind of dope you smoking?" "What kind of games you playing." "I look at her." "I look back." "I look at her." "I look in the mirror." "I look at her." "I look in the mirror." "I swear to you, she was not casting" "A reflection in the mirror." "Now, Dougy, I'm not crazy." "Dougy, I know what I saw." "Dougy, this ain't no joke." "Don't laugh, man." "Come on, man." "What are you on?" "The pipe or what?" "Yeah I'm on the pipe now." "Hey, man, you've been working too hard." "You're tired, man." "You know, you get tired." "You're exhausted." "You see things that ain't there." "Dougy, you sit your fat ass at this bar" "And get dissed by every babe that comes in here." "I'm out of here." "Peace." "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not fat, pal." "And I don't think you're crazy either." "You know what I'm talking about." "DOUGY:" "We're a branch of the federal government" "That specializes in murder under strange circumstances." "K:" "I don't believe this." "I do not believe it." "DOUGY:" "The supernatural could be responsible for a significant" "Percentage of unsolved murders." "Are you telling me now that along with criminals," "We get ETs and zombies killing people, man?" "About a year ago, I was assigned to investigate" "The case of a man who admitted himself" "To a psychiatric hospital claiming" "He had slept with the devil." "He said he could feel snakes crawling around in his stomach." "As he was about to tell me who she was," "The snakes began to crawl out of his mouth." "Are you bull..." "Of course, the hospital swept the incident under the rug." "And I was assigned to do the follow-up." "I followed the patient's lead and ended up at the bar." "I've been watching her ever since." "She leaves with men." "And you never see them again." "OK, so you've been tracking her." "And I ain't lost my mind." "I still got it together." "There's no way out of this thing," "K. I'm going to need some help." "What you saying?" "The truth is I've been at this job for years." "And this is the first legitimate lead I've had." "I want her." "And I want to close the rule book to get her." "Besides, if I wait on my superiors to deliberate," "I think it'll be too late." "And?" "What you saying?" "You said she didn't cast a reflection in the mirror." "That's right." "I believe you." "But nobody else will." "It's your call." "JOEL:" "I..." "I take it then that you like to travel?" "TEMPTRESS:" "Well, we could just say that I like to meet people," "Yourself included." "I hope to travel around the world one day." "I think my job will call for it." "Well, I would imagine so." "Being a world renowned minister takes a lot." "I'm sure." "It definitely, definitely, does, 'cause see... it's funny," "I..." "I'm sitting here thinking, I don't" "Remember ever mentioning to you that I" "Wanted to become a minister." "How did you know that?" "You just seem to have that aura about you." "Plus, your mannerisms tend to give ti away." "I know, because... well, let's just say that I've met" "A few ministers in my travels." "Really?" "Uh, huh." "Why don't you tell me more about your ministry, Joel." "Yeah I..." "I've been studying for a long, long time." "Um..." "I'm sort of kind of taking a break right now." "Well, tell me, Joel, how does one just" "Simply take a break from God?" "I felt that by traveling I could best see..." "I'd have an opportunity to best see how I could serve humanity." "Is that right?" "Yeah." "[Bell rings]" "K:" "No, no, it was "Shake Down Areda Avenue."" "DOUGY:" "Oh, that was good." "K:" "You like that one." "Anyway, we went to Areda." "[Music playing]" "Oh." "I come to share with you divine wisdom." "Together let us delight in the last word" "Rediscovered through the resurrection of the mysteries." "What have you come for." "Great Madame Sonya, we come about a woman." "And this woman or whatever it is, we have reason to believe" "Has dead before." "Come." "This thing is the very nature of negativeness in mankind." "It exists in every inclination toward hatred" "And in every tiny desire that would" "Threaten conscience of man, the part" "Of man that seeks God and good." "I'd probably be considered a sinner." "But I so much want to do what's right, Joel." "Who knows, maybe you'll be the one to counsel" "And help me one day." "This spirit, which can only be referred to as it," "Uses sexuality to hold morality hostage." "Its reason for being is to seduce the subconscious," "The conscious, yay, the very soul" "So that it might remain in a fallen, lustful state" "Of existence." "I knew from the first moment I say you I... had the feeling" "That I could come to you." "I don't know, it might sound corny." "But I have the feeling that our destinies are tangled somehow." "Do you know what I mean, Joel?" "Um... um..." "It incarnates in the flesh periodically to prey" "On weak-minded by imitating the very spirit of his victim," "Its adversary for the purpose of seducing and destroying that" "Soul." "In the game of sensual manipulation it is unrivaled." "She could only achieve a real victory through the destruction" "Of a truly innocent person, someone like you" "Joel, who is the very last of his ancestral line left" "Alive to teach what is right." "So then it lured Joel to New York." "It's an ancient demon." "And its name is Temptation." "There's only one way that it can be completely destroyed." "That is for man's total being and spirit" "To remain focused upon and to be completely" "Submissive to the utmost reality, which of course, is" "God, because in that highest of truths" "It has no foundation, no substance of power." "Now, wait a minute, wait, wait." "I read in a book somewhere or seen in TV or movie." "There's got to be some kind of way to at least lay a soul" "To rest or something like that." "Are you OK?" "I'm..." "I'm..." "I'm OK." "Would your excuse me for a minute?" "DOUGY:" "Couldn't we lay the soul to rest if we decompose" "The body with holy water and then" "Cut out the heart while it's still beating" "And bury it beneath hallowed ground?" "That's... that's some freaky..." "We ain't got to do all of that," "Man?" "Do we have to do all that?" "[Gasping]" "[Roaring]" "You think that I do not know that you are there?" "You fools." "You dare to make war against the beast and expect to live?" "I'm out of here." "Listen, is... are you OK?" "Is everything all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "It's just a headache." "But I do have to go home and lie down." "OK." "OK." "Well, um... is there anything at all that I can do?" "Do you need aspirin?" "Do you need... are you OK?" "Is everything..." "Can I do anything?" "No, but thank you for asking." "Look at you." "You are so sweet." "[Tense music playing]" "[Thunder]" "[Evil cackling]" "[Dramatic music]" "You must not fool me." "[Indistinct chatter]" "One bloody Mary." "[Thunder]" "[Tense music]" "Come to the fold." "Come to the fold, Joel." "Be good, Joel." "They're supposed to conquer." "[Crashing sound]" "Oh, God, take care of my boy." "We got to talk." "Is that woman in the house?" "No, she's not here." "All right, Joel, Joel, listen to me." "Listen to me." "That woman... and I don't know why you can't see this," "Man... is crazy." "She is a murderer." "Remember, I told you that I met babe" "And I was really excited about her." "I said she was sweet and sweet and innocent and sexy" "And all that bull?" "Same bitch." "She came onto you in the bar that night" "And suited you the same way she came onto me." "And then she got the balls to walk in my house" "And act like she don't know me." "I'm telling you something ain't right." "Something ain't right." "Why wouldn't you just say that when she was standing right" "There in front of both of us?" "I didn't say anything about it then because I didn't want you" "To think that was a little bit jealous, even if I" "Was just a little bit jealous." "A little jealous?" "Joel, don't start." "I can't believe this." "Open your eyes." "I know for a fact man, this babe is something ain't right." "TEMPTRESS:" "No." "Maybe it's something wrong with you." "Joel, that's not true." "Joel..." "What is this I'm smelling?" "You've been drinking." "You're running in here telling me... you've been drinking." "You can't..." "Joel, brother, you don't know." "I've bumping into some strange since you came around." "I've been drinking." "But it ain't at all about a drink now." "JOEL:" "So what's it about?" "What's it all about?" "It's..." "I feel responsible for you." "OK?" "And I'm taking responsibility." "Go back to your small town so you" "Can swat flies and milk cows." "Let me tell you something..." "No, don't talk to me like I'm a child, OK, because I'm not one." "I can take care of myself." "All right, I mean..." "What is this whole point" "Of me coming to New York?" "Joel..." "What is..." "Joel can make his own decisions, right?" "So I can take all of this, everything," "And just sort of put it all in perspective." "We're talking about a woman." "That's all we're talking about." "All she is she's just a small piece" "Of this whole New York trip, which is" "Just like a big puzzle to me." "And that's all." "I understand." "I do." "You got it." "Stay here." "Figure out the puzzle." "My friend Dougy, who believes me, is waiting in the car." "We're going to go get busy." "I love you, brother." "But right now, you're just a walking target." "Go home." "I'm not playing." "I can't believe you're saying this to me." "Go home." "Go home." "[Music playing]" "[MUSIC PLAYING OVER CONVERSATION]" "[Car engine]" "Shut up." "Shut up." "Relax K. Listen, you know that woman I" "Told you I had bad vibes about?" "Yeah, she's the only one in the bar now." "Listen, I don't have time to explain the whole thing," "So please trust me." "I want you to put this in her drink." "Now, that's holy water that's just been blessed." "Put it in the drink and get out of there, OK?" "Hey." "Yo, relax, K. This ain't "Three Tough Cookies."" "[Tense music playing]" "The house is buying." "Why thank you." "[Tense music playing]" "Look, man, when she drinks that holy water," "She's going to start slobbering and farting and gagging." "[Gasping and coughing]" "You put the shovel in my trunk, right?" "Yeah." "Are you ready?" "I'm as ready as I'll ever be, man." "[Yelling]" "Come on, Dougy." "Now your soul can rest in peace." "Do it." "[Screaming]" "Come on, Dougy." "One, two, three." "[Laughing]" "(DEEP, DEMONIC VOICE) You fools." "You can run, but you cannot hide." "You will now fight the beast." "Where's the car, man?" "It was just here." "Forget it." "Forget it?" "You don't forget a 88 turbo Peugeot, my brother." "Where is my car?" "Man, there is a devil bitch after us." "Let's go, man." "This way." "No, we go this way." "This way." "No, we go this way." "This..." "We go..." "Dougy, I'll see you, when I see you." "See you when I see you." "[Tires screeching]" "Halt, police officer, open up." "Go, just go, drive." "[Screaming]" "[Knocking]" "[Tense music]" "[Kung fu yell]" "He slammed the door and he walked out and I..." "I just have to tell how happy I was to see you today." "You know, I was so happy to see you today." "I was." "[Tense music playing]" "[Gasping]" "[TV in background]" "[Tense music playing]" "Would you like a glass of wine?" "I mean, I think a glass of wine would" "Make us both feel much better." "I..." "I..." "I don't drink." "I..." "I think..." "I think..." "I think it could." "All right, I mean, in the Bible people are drinking wine." "As long as you don't exceed your limit." "I..." "I..." "I don't drink." "I'm not a drinker." "I can't." "I don't drink." "I appreciate it though." "But I..." "I..." "I don't..." "[Music playing]" "[Evil laughter]" "[TV playing]" "[Screaming]" "[Roaring]" "[Tense music playing]" "[Screaming]" "[Tense music playing]" "[Door slams open]" "Sinner, fornicator." "You're supposed to be dead." "In my house." "You supposed... you're supposed to be dead." "PASTOR GARTH:" "I'm going to teach you a lesson." "No." "What..." "You're not my father." "You're not my father." "You are you?" "Don't you know, boy?" "I'm you, Joel." "Don't hurt my, baby." "[Roaring]" "No!" "[Screams]" "[Tense music playing]" "[Roaring]" "[Screaming]" "GRANDMOTHER:" "Make your claim to this, Joel." "This is a test for your fate, Joel." "No!" "GRANDMOTHER:" "Faith without works is dead." "[Evil laughter]" "Behold, I come back quickly." "Hold back fast which thou hast that no man may take my crown." "[Roaring]" "Blessed is the man that endured temptation." "[Roaring]" "The power is in the word, Joel." "And the knowledge of that is your weapon." "The power is in the word, Joel." "JOEL:" "This is between you and me." "It's always been between you and me." "Light." "[Roaring]" "Demon, let me beat you." "I'll beat you to pit of hell from which you came." "[Screaming]" "[Birds chirping]" "[Music playing]" "Let me light that for you." "You should use a cigarette lighter next time." "The flame lasts longer." "JOEL (VOICEOVER):" "Faith without works is dead." "And I knew that now."
