:44:00
Hey, quiet down.
:44:03
- We talk about Jesus.
- That's right.
:44:06
Jesus said and Jesus wept.
:44:09
Jesus heard and Jesus walked over.
:44:16
I don't wanna talk about Jesus.
:44:18
Cos as the big man teaches us,
there's two sides to every story.
:44:24
Not one but two.
A story is not one-sided.
:44:27
A story has duality.
There's two sides to every story.
:44:32
Which brings to mind the phrase
"necessary evil".
:44:36
I know many of you
hear that phrase and say,
:44:40
"That don't even make no sense to me.
:44:42
"Can't be no such thing as
necessary - how's evil necessary?
:44:46
"That don't match. That's plaids
and stripes, evil and necessary."
:44:50
You see, because without bad,
there is no good.
:44:55
Without light, there is no dark,
you need both these things.
:45:00
You hear what I'm saying?
:45:02
If every day is a sunny day,
well, then, what's a sunny day?
:45:06
Well, the bottom line,
what I'm trying to tell you tonight,
:45:11
is that evil...eeeevil...
is necessary.
:45:15
Evil is necessary, thereby,
if it's necessary, evil...
:45:20
- Evil...
- ...must be good.
:45:23
Evil is good.
:45:27
That's what I think.
Evil must be good, must be good.
:45:30
- Let me hear y'all say it...
- Evil is good.
:45:34
Evil is good. Take Brother Brown,
one of our strongest deacons,
:45:38
pillar of stability.
:45:40
Brother Brown was on Bushwick Avenue
last night with a two-dollar whore.
:45:45
- I didn't know she was no whore!
- You lyin' dog,
:45:48
- you said you was at your mother's.
- Now, that's evil.
:45:51
When you tell your wife,
"I'm going to see Mama,"
:45:54
then you go get you
a two-dollar ho, that's evil.
:45:57
But Brother Brown had a good time
with that two-dollar ho.
