- Miles, what's the matter?
- Look, I know this great little restaurant.
Great coffee.
Best pie in town.
I mean, if that's all right.
- Sure.
- Let's go.
- What's wrong, Lydia?
Please go to sleep.
- Sleep?
How can you sleep when our daughter's out
with that-- that--
- That boy.
He's a boy, Lydia.
- Well, I got a really bad vibe
from that so-called boy, Miguel.
He doesn't seem her type.
- According to you, she'll never have a type.
Please go to sleep.
Now, promise me you're gonna have an open mind
and not freak out on me.
- I promise.
- What'd you think about my friends tonight?
- They looked like gangsters and drug dealers.
- That's because they are, V.
I mean, they're not, like, Mafia or anything,
but they live that lifestyle,
and to be honest, I used to live just like them.
In fact,
they all used to work for me.
- Work for you?
Doing what?
- Here we go.
- Thank you.
- Folks, let me know if there's anything else you need.
- Yep. - Thank you.
Work for you doing what?
- I used to be a drug dealer, Vanessa,
and those guys you met tonight,
that was my crew.
I mean, basically, we was into any and everything.
- Wow, Miles, I don't--
I don't even know what to say.
- Look.
I don't talk about it 'cause I'm not proud of it.
I mean, I don't know how I did it.
I don't even know why I did it. I just did.
But I can honestly say
I'm a better man from all of that.
- Wow, Miles.
Well, about your friends, baby,
the Bible says that bad company corrupts good character.
You really think this is a wise idea,
still hanging out with these guys
when they do what they do?
- Those are my friends, V.
I mean, those dudes--
they're like my family,
and I can count on them for anything.
Look, I've been trying to tell these guys
there's other ways to make legal money.
I mean, I spent the last two years of my life
just trying to wash and shake all that off.
- Shake it off, huh?
- Look, I'm not this perfect guy, V,
but I'm trying.
- Miles, that was a mouthful.
To be honest with you, babe,
it almost sounds like a testimony
of someone who's had their life turned around by God.
Thank you
for even wanting to share that with me.
Am I okay with it?
I don't know about all that.
Does it make me want to pull away from you?
No.
If anything, it...
makes me want to get closer to you.
- Would it be wrong to say
that I'm falling in love with you?
- No, baby,
'cause I'm falling in love with you, too.
Well, since you just had the floor, Scarf ace--
- Oh, I'm Scarf ace now, huh?
- Yeah, it's my turn now.
Baby, do you know what "equally yoked" means?
- What do you mean, like eggs or something?
- No, silly.
In the Bible, God refers to our spirits as equally yoked,
so in order for you and I to be equally yoked,
it means that we have to feel the same way
about each other and God
and put Jesus in the center of this relationship.
Now, do you think you can do that?
- I mean, it sounds like a whole lot, babe,
but I care about you enough
to give it a try.
- Good morning, sunshine.
- So it's the big weekend, eh, Miles?
- I hope so.
- So these are your events?
- Yeah, well, you know, I got a few partners,
but yeah, for the most part.
- Well, we'll say a prayer for you and your shows tonight.
- Thanks, Mr. Leon. I appreciate it.
Tams, what's going on?
How we looking? - Everything's great.
The groups are checked in to the hotel.
Sound check's going on right now.
You got yourself a sellout.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Oh, my God!
Look at you.
- "Yo, I'm Miles Montego.
"Ain't no question.
"What?
Oh, hold up."
- Who that supposed to be?
- You.
- That is not how I act, talk, or any of that.
- You were amazing today.
Amazing.
Like, honestly, I was so impressed
with just the way the whole show came together.
- Really? - Yeah.
- I'm glad you liked it, baby.
- Loved it.
Well, we should get some rest,
'cause tomorrow's gonna be a long day.
- Yeah.
- Where are you going?
Oh, see, you can lay back down,
see, 'cause, Mr. Montego,
you have the sofa tonight.
Me?
I have the king-size bed.
Love you.
Don't forget to say your prayers.
Oh, boy.
- Baby, these are mad hot.
- You like those? - Yeah.
- What about these?
- Oh, I'm into that, too.
- You like them? - Yeah, those are really hot.
- I'll take them in every color.
- Yo, we should take a little break
and actually get something to eat.
- Yeah? You hungry?
I know a spot up here. It's nice.
- Key word "break."
I'm not done.
I'm not done shopping.
- Ain't that something? - Miles?
- Celine.
- Where have you been?
I've been calling and calling.
- I just--I been rippin' and runnin'.
- You ready, babe?
- Oh, I'm sorry.
V, this is Celine.
Celine, this is Vanessa.
- Oh, how do you do?
- Fine.
- Celine's a old friend of mine.
- Really?
Okay, well, babe, the kids are ready,
and, you know, the jet is waiting.
Wheels up at 6:00.
It was nice meeting you.
- For real?
Kids waiting?
Wheels up at 6:00?
Where'd you get all that from?
- I watch the E! Channel.
Did you sleep with her?
- Yeah.
- I shouldn't have even asked.
- So why did you?
Women.
- Get out the car, homey.
Get out the car!
- Don't do it.
- Open the door, Jesse!
Get out.
- Miles, don't-- Miles, don't do it.
Miles! - Lock the door and get down.
- Oh, my God!
- Come on, punk.
- Yo! YO, yo, yQ, yo. - [grunts]
- Get up, homey.
- What's up, dag?
Get him, Miles!
- Back up.
Is there a problem here?
Jesse, is there a problem here?
- Man, just shoot him, Miles!
Shoot this punk! - Nah, nah, nah.
Ain't nobody gonna get shot tonight.
What we gonna do is, Jesse,
you gonna get in your car, and you gonna get out of here.
You hear what I'm saying to you?
Get in your car and get out of here!
- This ain't over, punk.
See you around, homey.
- Let's go, man. Let's go.
- Meet me at the spot,
and make sure nobody follows y'all.
- Baby-
Baby, are you all right?
Are you okay? Babe!
- No, I'm not okay, Miles.
Who were those guys? Were they trying to kill you?
- Look, baby, just relax.
Just relax. It had nothing to do with me.
Look, I was just trying to defuse the situation.
That's it.
- It had nothing to do with you.
It was between Martin and whoever that guy was.
- So what am I supposed to do, babe,huh?
Leave him out there alone?
Let some dude come blow his head off?
Is that what you telling me?
Don't think so, baby.
- So you're just willing to give up everything
including your own life
for something that had nothing to do with you?
- Yeah.
And they would do the same for me, baby.
Look, a few years ago,
this whole thing would have turned out a lot different.
I was just trying to get us out of there safe, baby.
That's it.
- Really?
Would you like to tell me
why there was a gun in your car?
- Babe, it's like I told you.
Whenever I do shows like this,
there's always large amounts of cash around.
You know that! You see it!
Look!
What do you want me to do?
Listen, I know this whole situation and everything,
it's all new for you,
but you got to understand, babe,
when it comes to protecting you, my family, my friends,
I'll do anything, babe.
You understand that?
- I thought I was gonna lose you.
- Come on, baby.
- Really, Miles.
I don't ever want to feel like that again, ever.
Promise me I won't ever lose you.
- I promise.
I ain't going nowhere.
You understand me?
- Give me your hands.
Heavenly Father, we come before You.
We thank You, Lord, for getting us through
a hard day of work
but most of all for protecting us.
Lord, we ask that You would continue
to show Miles that You are always there with us.
In Your name we pray.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Whoo! Yeah!
- Happy birthday, baby.
Smile. - Thank you.
- Love it. - But you guys--
you guys really didn't have to do this.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
- Now, Miles, we got you a little something.
We hope that you'll not only use it
but enjoy it as well.
- Wow.
I mean, y'all really don't have to do none of this.
This is too much for me right now.
- Go on, Miles. Open it.
- I know! Hurry up.
- Qkay, okay.
Let me-- let me open this.
Get out of here.
You guys got me my own Bible?
Look, it's got my name on it and everything.
- Let me take a picture. Love it.
- Miles, you need to understand something.
We have done everything we can
to raise all of our children in the ways of the Lord.
Now, the Bible says that we should pray
for our children's spouses from early in their lives.
Well, we have been praying for a godly man for Vanessa.
Miles, are you that godly man?
- I don't know.
- How come I can't I figure out
who you really are?
Bet she has no idea.
- I see you're working late again.
- I told you we had a solid case, right?
So if they're working late...
- We got to be working late.
If there's something there,
you'll find it.
- This ain't for me.
- Babe, after church tomorrow,
you want to go to the movies?
- About tomorrow...
I don't think I'ma be able to make it.
- Isnorts]
- What's the matter, babe?
You all right?
- No, Miles, I'm not all right.
Look, just tell me what the problem is.
- There is no problem, babe.
I just got some things I got to take care of tomorrow.
That's all.
- We all have a lot of stuff we have to do.
You're always gonna have a lot of things you have to do.
Look, I'm gonna put aside the fact that
my entire family is expecting you
and that, hey, I'd actually like you
to come to church with me,
and what I'm really concerned with
is what the real issue is.
Why don't you just tell me?
- There's nothing to tell.
- Really? There's nothing to tell?
Look, I'm not even buying that.
What is so bad about going to church?
- God don't want somebody like me in his church, okay?
Ridiculous.
What are you smiling about?
- Look, babe, I'm not trying to belittle your feelings.
I
but you're just so off.
Like, so off.
And to be honest, I'm a little relieved
'cause I thought you were actually
keeping something from me...
something ugly.
- Well, don't be getting all happy just yet.
I haven't told you why I feel this way.
- It doesn't matter.
God doesn't care about what you've done in your past
or what you're in the middle of right now.
He just wants you to come as you are.
- You sure about that?
- I'm positive.
Look, the Bible says,
"What causes a man to gain the whole world
and lose his soul."
Baby, I don't want you to lose your soul.
Once you really get to know God and His Word,
you'll see that that book is better than life,
better than the cars, better than the money.
For a man like you, even better than--
- Better than what?
- Look, please, better than sex.
- [laughs] - Yes, I said it.
- Yeah, this must be a great book, 'cause...
- Hey, watch what you saying.
- Ain't too many things--
- Hey, we're talking about God.
Better than anything.
Don't get crazy.
- You ready, babe?
- I guess. It's crazy, though.
This is like a sold-out show.
- This is the best show on earth,
and it's free.
- Come on, babe, let's go.
- Hey. Good morning, Vanessa.
How you doing today? - I'm good, Jerry.
Jerry, this is my boyfriend, Miles.
- Hey, pleasure to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- This is Jerry.
- Hey, I'll seat you with your parents.
Follow me. - Thank you.
- Am I supposed to tip this guy?
- No, baby, he doesn't get paid.
He's a greeter.
This is his way of serving the Lord.
- Hi.
Hey, Mommy.
- Hey, Miles, good to see you.
- Good to see you too, Mr. Leon.
How you doing, Mrs. Leon?
- Good morning, Miles.
- Who's that?
- That's Pastor Galley. He's our worship leader.
- He's a pastor?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay'
Dem be late. - Yes, I'll see you there.
- Babe, everybody doesn't have to see that.
- Oh, my bad. My bad.
- Here.
How much are you giving?
- I don't know. About that much.
That's not enough?
Babe, that's plenty.
Let me explain how this whole offering thing goes later.
Dem be late. - Yes, I'll see you there.
- You smile and behave. You heard me?
All right, I'll see you in a little bit.
Amanda, what's up, baby?
- Pastor Galley, how are you today?
- I'm wonderful. How are you?
- Fantastic. It was an awesome worship.
I loved it. - I had a great time, too.
The Spirit was really moving, right?
- Oh, it was in me. It was everywhere.
- I'll see you on Thursday at rehearsal.
Don't be late. - Yes, I'll see you there.
- All right, Ma. See you.
- Hey, Pastor Galley.
- Vanessa, how are you, Ma?
- Pastor Galley, this is my boyfriend, Miles.
Miles, Pastor Galley.
- Miles, you got some church in today, huh?
- Yeah, it wasn't what I was expecting,
but it was good.
- That's right. That's right.
- So you really, like, a pastor, huh?
I mean, like a real pastor.
- As opposed to, like, an imaginary, cartoon pastor?
- Nah, that's not what I meant, man.
I mean, you don't really look like a pastor.
- I don't, huh?
So what's a real pastor
supposed to look like, Miles?
- I don't know, man. I mean, look at you, man.
Clothes, your jewelry...
- You're kind of tight to death yourself there, Miles.
- Yeah, but I don't drive no Lambo, Pastor.
- The Lambo, huh?
I recall pulling into the parking lot
and passing a four-door black Bentley
that I've never seen here before,
and I'm assuming that's yours, man.
- Yeah, but I ain't no pastor.
- True that, but the last time I read the Bible,
it said nothing about style being a sin.
Kind of goes back to that old saying
that you cannot judge a book by its cover, you heard?
- Yeah, I dig.
So what made you want to be a pastor anyway?
- Well, God had a calling on my life, Miles,
and as much as I tried to avoid that call,
I couldn't avoid it any more,
and here I am.
He's got a calling on your life, too.
On everybody's life.
But you got to answer the phone
when He calls, you dig?
- A calling, huh?
- A calling. I tell you what.
We'll talk more about that in the future.
I'd love to see you around here a little bit more.
- All right.
And for twining the beautiful Vanessa into our lives.
- Such good worship today, by the way.
- Praise God. Miles...
- Pastor. - It was a pleasure.
- Pleasure's all mine.
- Hope you two brought your appetites,
because your mother cooks enough for an army.
- It looks good too, Ma.
- So you got Miles to go to church?
- Mm-hmm. Just this Sunday.
- I cannot believe this.
Vanessa, you are an angel from heaven.
You just don't know
how hard I've been praying for this boy.
- Whoo, you and I both.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, let's say grace.
Dear Lord, thank You for the food
we are about to receive
for the nourishment and health of our bodies,
for our wonderful son, Miles,
and for bringing the beautiful Vanessa into our lives.
She is truly an angel from heaven.
In Jesus' name we pray.
All: Amen.
- Now, Vanessa, honey,
don't you be afraid to crack the whip on this--
If he gives you any trouble,
you just let us know.
We'll straighten him out.
- All right, I like the sound of that.
- Let's eat.
- Man, what took you so long?
- Sgrry, big dog.
- Sorry? Let me tell you something, man.
Don't ever have me waiting like that ever again.
You hear me? - Yeah, I hear you.
- Man, here.
- 125k, man, nice and neat, just like you like it.
- All right, here, man.
Get out of here. Get out of my car.
