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.
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
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.
- 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...
That's our competition.
...Our Lady of Perpetual Tears.
Why can't we be humble
Like the good Lord said?
He promised to exalt us
And show us the way
Why are men so greedy?
They're kids?
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Are you hearing that kid?
That's the way God planned it

Oh - Yeah, oh

- That's the way - That's the way
There's no way. I mean, we've come this far.
Okay. Okay. All right.
It's not fair. How are we supposed to compete with that?
Especially doing our old, tired songs.
And even if we win, we're beating a bunch of little kids. It don't feel right.
"Don't feel right"?
What are we gonna do? I mean, what are we gonna do?
Hey.
I don't believe what I'm hearing.
You're getting all squishy and sentimental over a bunch of 12-year-olds? Now?
They knew what they were getting into.
Their parents signed the permission slips.
This is the big time, baby.
Didn't Jesus say "suffer the little children"?
Yes, he did.
They're young. They're resilient. They'll get over it.
We deserve this.
Now y'all can donate to Save the Children later.
Become a Big Brother, whatever.
But today, we are gonna go out there and we are gonna win this thing.
Come on, y'all. Let's go.
This is Pacashau. What would Bernie do? Come on, now.
Pacashau. Pacashau.
One, two.
Not enough, not enough, not enough love
Not enough, not enough Not enough love
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
It's not enough love.
The Lord is worthy to be praised, is he not?
Yes.
I said the Lord is worthy to be praised, isn't he?
- Yeah. - So here's what I'd like to do.
I'd like to take them just a little bit higher in here.
Yeah!
Come on, now, you understand me. Can we take them a little bit higher?
Yeah!
Do y'all mind if we lift him up and take y'all higher?
I don't know what they're doing. Follow my cues, give them everything.
Give me some of that Sly Stone funk.
One, two, three. Huh!
Boom lakalakalaka Boom lakalaooga boom
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Feeling's getting stronger
Music's getting longer too
Music is the flesh in me
He wants to He wants to

Up in the church with my homies Trying to get a little praise on

'Cause you know how it is

We did it. We did it.
- Good morning. - Good morning, Vi Rose.
- Good morning, winners. - Good morning.
Let me help you with that.
Thank you. My head's still spinning from last night.
I just wish Bernie could've been here to see it.
- Oh, I think Bernie was here to see it. - Mm....
You may have noticed I don't do particularly well with change.
That's because, in my experience, it mostly takes a big chunk out of your behind.
But not this time.
And that's due to Randy.
I will never forget what he did for Walter.
- He's a good kid. - Yeah.
And he didn't just lick it off the ground. He had you.
And we owe you a lot too. In fact, we owe you everything.
Don't make a face.
Oh. Look. Look at your daughter.
She's looking at Randy like I look at cake.
Yeah, the kind that stays in your stomach for nine months.
You can close your mouth, Mama. This ain't the first time we kissed.
I see him when the children are playing
I hear him when the church bells ring On wedding days
- I feel him when the breezes blow - Ooh, ooh
- Adore him where the flowers grow - Ooh, ooh
We fear him when the oceans roar
- He's everything - He's everything
He's everything
We're born, we live, we die
And life goes on
We love, we laugh, we cry So forth, so on
- And we're a part of his creation - Ooh, ooh
- Every person, every nation - Ooh, ooh
- He's in every situation - He's in every situation
Everything
He's everything
Let's lift him up
Through everything He's loving us
Is it asking all that much That we should do the same?
So let us sing and raise our voice
Let us make a joyful noise
- Rejoice - Rejoice and praise his name
- Rejoice - Rejoice
- Sing it again - Oh, rejoice
Rejoice His joy remains
He's everything
Praise his name His holy name
He's everything
He's always loving us
We should show a little love
- In everything, everything - Everything, everything
He's the God of hope and change
He's the cure for hurt and pain
You know he loves us all the same
- 'Cause he's everything, he's everything - Everything, everything
In everything, he plays a part
Heals and mends our broken hearts
Restores us when we fall apart
- 'Cause he's everything, he's everything - Everything, everything
So lift him up, rejoice, rejoice
Let us sing and raise our voice
And let us make a joyful noise
He is everything
