AHMAD: Dear Lord...
:00:02
thank you for allowing us
another day on Earth--
:00:05
another day
to glorify your name...
:00:07
and sanctify ourselves
with your mercy.
:00:09
I'm grateful that the people
I love most in the world...
:00:13
are here to celebrate life
and the lessons as it unfolds.
:00:19
And let one of those lessons
be acceptance and love...
:00:22
so we can be a family again...
:00:24
and love each other
like we used to.
:00:27
In Christ Jesus' name, amen.
:00:30
Amen.
:00:31
Amen.
:00:32
Mm-mm-mmm.
:00:34
It's so good to be back.
I missed this place.
:00:36
I've got my favorite food.
:00:38
MAXINE: I have a surprise
for everyone later...
:00:41
but for now,
why don't we just eat?
:00:44
REVEREND WILLIAMS:
Amen to that.
:00:46
[Laughter]
:01:17
LEM: Everybody, um,
I got my job back.
:01:21
BIRD: That's good, Lem.
:01:23
Congratulations.
:01:24
BIRD: That's great.
:01:25
They asked a brother back...
:01:26
because they know I'm a good,
strong, skilled worker.
:01:29
That's right.
:01:30
How'd you get out of jail?
:01:32
I don't even know.
:01:34
Somebody talked to somebody,
and the charges got dropped.
:01:38
Here I am.
:01:40
MAXINE:
Glad to have you home, brother.
:01:42
BIRD:
That's right. My boo is home.
:01:45
Actually, I called a friend at
the D.A.'s office for a favor.
:01:56
I felt bad.
:01:58
You should feel bad.
:01:59
Because of you,
I spent weeks in jail.
